Supermodel Kate Moss tried to stop military planes bound for Afghanistan from flying over her wedding ceremony and reception, The Sun reported Thursday.
Moss, 37 -- who is now honeymooning on a $16 million superyacht -- wanted to get married without the drone of jets from the Royal Air Force's (RAF) Brize Norton base overhead.
She asked chiefs at the base near her Little Faringdon, central England, home to divert or postpone their flights -- but was politely refused.
HOT SHOTS: Kate Moss
A military source said, "RAF Brize Norton is a fully operational wartime air base. Flights from the base carry troops and vital equipment directly to Afghanistan."
The source added, "These flights are absolutely crucial. The idea that the top military brass would put these flights on hold or change their routes just to give a celeb some peace on their wedding day is absolutely inconceivable. Kate should consider herself lucky she just got a polite refusal."
Mom-of-one Moss' home -- where her three-day reception celebration was held -- is around five miles from the air base. The church where she wed The Kills rocker Jamie Hince, 42, on Friday is also close by.

Normal days with the KC-135A and B-52G models were loud enough but a MITO was something to hear and behold.

You mean someone wants to MARRY this old matress?!!
Hey Kate! Jet Noise is the sound of freedom. Enjoy it while you can.
I find it somewhat inconceivable that the military couldn’t alter a few flights for Prince William’s wedding.
I agree with your assessment - this story smacks of tabloid sensationalism. There was no reason for her not to -ask-, not -demand-. The fact that the base personnel are running to the tabloids doesn’t exactly speak well for their professionalism, even if Moss was aggressive or out-of-line.
is it even true?
What is the matter with people today? Do they honestly think they are the center of the universe? Who is she anyway? Do you think the stars of yesterday would have even thought of asking for something like this?
The diva speaks... and thankfully is ignored.
Kate needs to STFU.
And eat something.
When I was a kid, my church was about a mile from the end of the runway at a SAC base. Nothing like having a reading from Revelation interrupted by by a flight of B-52s carrying a few dozen megatons of armageddon.
Better yet, a KC-135. My first assignment in the AF was at Fairchild AFB, WA. The Buffers' noise was one thing, but the KCs could take it to a new level. And the innate ability to just tune them out over time is amazing.

Water Injection: Because without it, jet engines just aren't LOUD ENOUGH.
Soundtrack doesn't remotely do it justice.
The arrogance and self-centeredness of these celebutards knows no bounds.
I bet if you heard one now, you'd know before even seeing it what it is.
I loved watching the MITO launches. The black smoke rolling across the runway and the aircraft lifting themselves out of the cloud was awesome.
My wife worked admin in the Bomb Wing Commander's office and the Exec Officer put her in the jump seat of his KC-135 for a MITO. She said it was strange rolling down the runway not being able to see anything due to the smoke.
What a twit. Actually dingbat sounds better. Lemme guess, she’s a liberal.
I haven’t seen men’s formal wear like that since 1976!!
That. Is. Awesome.
But I’d want hearing protection if I were standing that close to the runway.
