Celebrity Wedding

There was speculation yesterday that it might happen, and now People magazine has confirmed the news — Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman are married! The couple, who met four years ago, said "I do" in Big Sur, California, with Anne wearing a gown desgined specifically for her by Valentino. The couple announced their engagement last November, and kept their approaching nuptials very quiet, with Anne even saying in interviews that the wedding would take place next year! We couldn't be happier for Adam and Anne — congratulations to the happy couple!

According to People, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds got married this past weekend! The couple, who started dating last year reportedly made their relationship official during a ceremony Sunday night at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. Blake's good friend, Florence Welch apparently played during the reception.

Blake and Ryan have spent much of the Summer together, celebrating the Fourth of July with family and marking Blake's 25th birthday in NYC last month. Most recently, the duo popped up in Venice, where Blake stepped out for a Gucci bash. Congrats to the newlyweds!

After a week of waiting, we finally have more info on Nicole Richie and Joel Madden’s wedding! Thanks to Who Weekly we now know that Nicole wore three Marchesa gowns. The first one was ivory lace and crystal which had a skirt made of more than 90 metres of silk organza and was so big she couldn’t sit down. The second dress for the dinner was ivory with lace and crystal detail with a sheer fishtail skirt and the final dress for the reception was black bias-cut with a diamond-crystal jewellery overlay and a one of a kind headpiece. Meanwhile, daughter Harlow wore a blush trimmed dress with extra fabric from her mum’s gown and carried a flower basket filled with pink petals. Son Sparrow wore a three piece tux and Ralph Lauren velvet shoes with a skull and crossbones on them, while dad Joel wore a Dolce & Gabbana tux and Lanvin bow tie. Nicole walked down the aisle to “Ballerina Girl” the song her dad Lionel wrote about her in 1986. Rev Run from Run DMC officiated the 15-minute ceremony in front of 155 guests. For the first dance in the Versailles-themed reception tent, the couple danced to "What a Wonderful World." The couple had a five-tiered red velvet cake and bohemian meets gothic after-party with DJ Samantha Ronson. Nicole has revealed that she will take Joel’s surname, adding, “it’s important that we all share the same name.” For more pictures from the wedding, check out FabSugar!

We’re on wedding watch again this weekend eagerly awaiting news that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have finally tied the knot. Dad Lionel Richie’s Bel Air mansion has been buzzing with activity all week. A large marquee has been erected, as well as a covered walkway and a stage has been built on top of the pool so that guests have more space to dance. The couple are reportedly having an intimate ceremony with only 75 family members and close friends. Nicole’s maid of honour is expected to be her best friend Masha Gordon. Celebrities rumoured to be attending include DJ Samantha Ronson, Christina Aguilera and Kim Kardashian. Noticeably absent from the expected guest list is Nicole’s former BFF Paris Hilton.

We’ve all caught royal wedding fever this week with the long awaited announcement that Prince William and Kate Middleton were finally tying the knot. What made it even more special was that William proposed with Princess Diana’s sapphire engagement ring. But apparently the ring actually belonged to Prince Harry! According to Popeater after Diana died in 1997, Prince Charles took his sons to Diana’s home in Kensington Palace and had them choose momentos. William selected the 18k yellow gold Cartier Tank Francaise watch that Diana used to teach him how to tell time, while Harry choose her engagement ring. A source explains:

Harry was happy to give the ring to his brother. He loves William and thinks it’s only right that one day the woman sitting next to the King will be wearing his mother’s ring. That’s the way Diana would have wanted it.

Bless. When Charles purchased the ring back in 1981, it cost over $40,000, but now because of the connection with Diana, it's considered to be priceless. What do you think about Kate wearing Diana’s ring?

Cricket legend Glenn McGrath and Sara Leonardi tied the knot yesterday in a secret ceremony at their home in Cronulla in Sydney's south. A handful of family members joined the couple for the low-key ceremony. Glenn’s two children with his late wife Jane—James, 11, and Holly, hugged their dad and new stepmother as the couple said “I do” at 3pm. Glenn wore a pink rose named in honour of his late wife and Sara’s bouquet was made of the same roses, as well as a posy carried by Holly. After the ceremony, the newlywed and guests enjoyed an intimate reception overlooking the water. The pair became engaged in July this year after meeting at a party in South Africa in April 2009. Sara is credited with helping to mend Glenn’s heart after he lost his wife to cancer in 2008. Congratulations to the happy couple!
