Sinead O’Conner Married Last Night

9 December 2011 By

Famous Irish singer was married last night (on the evening of her 45th Birthday) for the fourth time in a wedding chapel in Las Vegas.

The Nothing Compares 2 U singer and mother-of-four tied the knot with 38-year-old therapist Barry Herridge. The two met after O’Connor advertised for a man on Twitter in August, including posting a list of her requirements.

As she prepared to fly to Las Vegas from Dublin Airport this week, she explained in her blog: “Barry sent me this wonderful email, which just took my heart away. It had to be him.”

O’Connor described the Las Vegas ceremony as “Too glorious for words” on her blog, and promised to give fans and friends more details after she enjoys time with her new husband.

True to character, she also posted a picture of an empty chapel, with the caption: “Photo of the celebrity guests at our wedding.”

The marriage comes just a week after O’Connor jokingly said to Hot Press magazine: “I’ve been married three times, really I should only have been married once.”

Princess Diana Wedding Attire Auctioned

5 December 2011 By

An exact ‘just in case’ replica of Princess Diana’s famous wedding dress and accompanying shoes have sold at auction for the grand sum of £84,000.

Commissioned by Princess Diana herself, the back-up dress was made by David Emanuel, who was also responsible for the original lavish gown.

It had been in the possession of Madame Tussauds in London before being sold to a private collector for £48,000 by a fashion museum in Chile.

The size 6.5 shoes that complete the gown are also identical to those worn at the 1981 Royal Wedding. As part of their intricate design they include an interwoven C and D on their sole. They were sold for £36,000 by their original designer as Diana’s mother had not paid for the spare pair.

Speaking of the shoes, auctioneer Kerry Taylor said: “They are identical to the ones Diana wore for her wedding – absolutely the same. She could have changed the left or the right and you wouldn’t notice the difference. They were made in case her first pair got stained or damaged, or something happened to them on the day.”

Anne Hathaway Overheard Planning Wedding

1 December 2011 By

According to a new source, Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway, who announced her engagement to fiancé Adam Shulman earlier this week, is reportedly already planning her wedding.

An onlooker told the New York Post that the couple attended La Esquina restaurant in New York with a friend on Monday night, where they were overheard “excitedly discussing ideas about their nuptials”.

The eavesdropping onlooker further claims that Anne and Adam said they are considering a “non-traditional ceremony with co-ed bridesmaids and groomsmen”. They were also reportedly talking about incorporating wine tasting into the special day.

The lovebirds were further said to be “very touchy-feely” during their dinner, and were seen kissing throughout their meal.

Anne, 29, was previously involved in a highly publicised break-up with Italian real estate developer Raffaello Follieri in 2008. During a business scandal at the time, he pleaded guilty to 14 counts of money laundering, conspiracy and wire fraud.

The actress seems to have made the right choice this time with partner Adam, and fans will be looking forward to the official date for their wedding.

Marriage On The Cards for Britney Spears

23 November 2011 By

A source has revealed that Britney Spears’ long time boyfriend Jason Trawick has been hunting for the perfect engagement ring at several celebrity jewellers, confirming suspicions that the famous pop star is to marry in the near future.

The insider commented: “He has been everywhere from Tiffany to Harry Winston looking for a ring and he is close to making his final decision… Don’t expect anything too massive or obnoxious. This ring will be classy and under 4-carats.”

Trawick, who is currently with Spears on her Femme Fatale tour in South America, is said to be very close to picking the winning sparkler, meaning a winter engagement is likely on the cards.

This latest report is the second source to confirm the good news. Last week, a family insider said: “Britney and Jason discuss marriage all the time. Britney is truly in love with Jason, and well, Jason has loved her for a very, very long time.”

The couple have been dating since 2009. If and when the marriage goes ahead, it will hopefully be a case of “third time’s the charm” for Miss Spears.

Ralph Lauren Creates Stunning Wedding Dress

18 November 2011 By

The spectacular wedding dress of Lauren Bush, who luckily has none other than Ralph Lauren as her father-in-law, has finally been revealed in a Vogue interview.

FEED founder Lauren said she exchanged ideas with Ralph casually before their first official design meeting at his studio this past June.

She also commented on her fascination with watching the design process: “Any experience of a girl picking out her wedding dress is amazing. But I have to say it was really special to work with [husband David Lauren's] dad, to see him in action with his team.”

Lauren then described the beautiful creation itself: “It isn’t Victorian exactly. I wanted something modern as well, so there is the high-necked collar and puffed shoulders with the large open back.”

The top layer of the dress was made of tulle in antique ivory, and it took nearly 100 craftspeople more than 3,000 hours to hand-embroider the tulle with motifs of flowers and Renaissance-era scroll designs in ivory silk and metallic thread, Swarovski Elements crystals and off-white pearl beads.

The wedding took place in a 200-year-old barn on Ralph’s Double RL Ranch in Colorado.

Designer Describes Twilight Wedding Dress

16 November 2011 By

As fans prepare for the magical Twilight wedding to screen in the upcoming ‘Breaking Dawn’ release, the top secret gown that Bella will wear has been the subject of much speculation and anticipation.

Famous designer Carolina Herrera, the creator of the stunning wedding dress, has finally shed some light on what to expect.

She commented: “The inspiration became a little bit by the book… the description of the book, and the magic and the moment that is the wedding and also about her [Bella's] personality which is very important in a wedding gown. She is this very innocent girl that is believing in her first true love and there is romance and there is fantasy and mystery. Everything so I took all that into consideration.”

While the exact details are still a closely guarded secret (the dress was protected by military-like security during filming), it has been reported that it’s made of lace and satin, features 100 buttons down the back and has long sleeves.

In addition, the Twilight book describes Bella’s bridal gown as an early 1900s design that’s ‘just stepped out of an Austen movie’, so it will be suitably classic in style.

The same kind of approach is reflected in Herrera’s Autumn / Winter 2012 bridal collection, which features nipped-in waists flowing into gorgeously full and flowing skirts.

Two of the country’s most prominent families will hold the special event in the town of Safai, Uttar Pradesh – the attendance of which could fill London’s O2 arena five times over.

The actual ceremony will fall on the third day, when numbers will swell to 100,000. Food will be distributed, and the local streets are to be flooded with music and dancing.

Prateek’s father, is the distinguished head of the Samajwadi (Socialist) Party, three times Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh (India’s most populous region with 200 million citizens), an ex-Defence Minister of India and a political hero to millions around the country.

Aparna’s father, Arvind Singh Bisht, is the editor of the Lucknow branch of The Times of India in Uttar Pradesh.

The couple have been friends for eight years, romantically making them high-school sweethearts.

Nikki Reed Marries in Dazzling Diamonds

19 October 2011 By

Twilight actress Nikki Reed, who married her fiancé Paul McDonald earlier this week, wore a magical wedding dress studded with no less than one hundred diamond buttons.

The 23-year-old celebrity has spoken of her delight with the ivory white, body-hugging gown. She collaborated with respected bridal jewellery brand Tacori, which not only crafted the bridal dress, but also created the engagement and wedding bands for the couple.

Michelle Adorjan, designer at Tacori, commented on the spectacular gown: “It was a 40′s classic glamour silhouette. It flows back into a 72-inch train, about six feet. It’s extremely simple. Instead of a traditional, silk wrap button, we did diamond buttons. A little over 100 carats just on the buttons.”

Nikki and Paul tied the knot at a private ranch in Malibu, California. They had only been dating for two months, but have been seen to be very much in love when out in public.

Reed said the following about her special day: “We couldn’t be happier. We were surrounded by our family and friends. We’re so glad this day has come.”

17 October 2011 By

The couple wed at a friend’s beautiful Malibu residence. Doherty’s nuptials will be part of her upcoming WE reality show called ‘Shannen Says’, which premiers in 2012.

Shannen further explained that she first spotted the gown online and then went to see it in person at Lhuillier’s boutique in LA.

Famous designer Lhuillier’s iconic gowns have previously been worn by such celebrity brides as Reese Witherspoon, Alicia Silverstone, Vanessa Minnillo, Carrie Underwood, Ashlee Simpson, Jewel, Pink, and many more.

Not satisfied with just one unforgettable gown, Doherty changed into a second Lhullier creation which she described as “blush with lots and lots of tulle.”

For the reception, she made a third dress change into a tight-fitting, knee-length number with a slit up the side – Shannen called it “my get-down and be-sexy bridal dress.”
