Matt Damon: Why I Renewed My Vows

Originally posted 04/26/2013 11:05AM

Matt Damon's wife now has his entire family and all of his friends on her side if there's ever an argument over who gets the side of the bed closest to the bathroom.

"It's nice to say your vows in front of family," Damon told the crowd gathered Thursday at Harvard University, where he was honored for his work in the arts with 2013 Harvard Arts Medal presented by actor John Lithgow.

"That's the point of taking the vows. These are people who will hold you to them. One of my vows was I gave her the side of the bed closer to the bathroom. And if I don't stick to that, I'm gonna hear about that from my mom, brother and father."

On April 13, Damon and wife Luciana renewed their wedding vows in front of 50 family and friends on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, though during Thursday night's question-and-answer session, he explained why the couple had originally married at city hall.
