Justin Baldoni's wedding apology to Swedish wife resurfaces after being accused of sexual harassment by Blake Lively

When Justin Baldoni married his Swedish wife Emily, his vows began with an extraordinary apology for 'anything I've ever said or done that has hurt you'. The film director, 40, said he was sorry for his 'faults, shortcomings, insecurities and my ego' at their Midsummer Night’s Dream-themed nuptials just outside Los Angeles in 2013.
But as tears rolled down his face he promised to 'cherish, listen to you, honour you and respect you'. In response Mrs Baldoni, now the mother of his two children, responded by saying she would always love him and 'stand firm by your side' for the rest of their lives.
Today this love and support for her husband has never been more important as he finds himself at the centre of an extraordinary writ brought by Blake Lively that has made headlines around the globe. Ms Lively claims that when filming Ends With US, Mr Baldoni fostered a toxic workplace environment including a number of highly damaging sexual allegations, which he vehemently denies.
But incredibly his wife Emily may be able to offer first-hand testimony because she starred in the movie, in an emotional scene with Blake herself. Their two children were also on the set their father is accused of corrupting, appearing in its final moments.
When the Baldonis married 11 years ago, the bride had told him and the congregation that she 'would stand tall by your side. Feeling blessed to have a man who speaks for those who cannot or do not have the strength to. And a man who will go without sleep to make sure someone’s story is told'.
