One of New Zealand’s All Backs premiere rugby stars finally tied the knot with his girlfriend Honor Dillon at an exclusive lakeside venue called Lake Timara Lodge on Friday.

The NZ Herald website reported that the beautiful bride wore a flowing ivory dress with a plunging front, a cutaway back and a regal two metre train.

In total, 100 guests were in attendance, including All Blacks of the past and present such as Richie McCaw and coach Graham Henry.

Carter’s four grooms, one of which was All Blacks scrumhalf Jimmy Cowan, wore grey suits with long black tails.

The couple exchanged traditional wedding vows and several hymns were sung during their 30-minute ceremony. Adding magic to the special event, the bridal party sat in front of a “blaze of peonies and oriental lilies a metre deep”.

At 10pm, everyone moved outside to enjoy a stunning fireworks display that lit up the sky. Some guests left soon after, while others partied on until 1am. Many said that the couple’s nuptials had scored “a perfect 10”.

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.”

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.

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.

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.”
