Jake Gyllenhaal Attends Father’s Wedding

A shaven headed Jake Gyllenhaal served as groomsman at his director father’s recent intimate beach wedding to Kathleen Man on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.

The bride, who is also a film maker, wore a traditional white linen dress to tie the knot with Jake’s father Stephen Gyllenhaal.

Jake chose a casual look with khaki trousers and a brown shirt for the informal ceremony. It was attended by about 30 guests, who kept with the island theme by wearing traditional Hawaiian wreaths, known as Leis, which are worn as a symbol of affection, love or friendship.

Also in attendance was Jake’s actress sister Maggie Gyllenhaal, who wore a long floral dress to witness her father tying the knot.

The Hawaii location was of special significance to the bride, who had attended the Punahou School there and is a native of the island.

Stephen had separated from Jake’s mother and wife of 32 years Naomi Foner, who also works in the film industry, in 2009. He is best known for directing the Emmy nominated “Paris Trout”, which starred Dennis Hopper, Barbara Hershey and Ed Harris.

Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey Marry

Richard Branson’s private Necker Island in the Caribbean was the setting for celebrity couple Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo’s recent wedding.

Despite the tropical location, the pair chose a formal ceremony. Ms Minnillo commented: “I wanted to be in that long traditional wedding gown with heels and I wanted my groom in a tux and shoes… There was just something so timeless, beautiful and romantic about having that element of a traditional wedding.”

The bride wore a two piece Monique Lhuillier ensemble, complete with intricate lace corset that was finished by rose and crystal detailing and a signature hand tufted skirt made of silk faille.

She revealed that she asked her husband to be how he would like her on the day. “I thought I would get some generic guys’ answer but he sat up in bed and told me he loved me with my hair down and wanted me in something traditional but with a modern flair.”

The love struck groom has spoken of the unforgettable moment when he saw his bride walking down the aisle and how it took his breath away.  “It’s a moment you fantasize about, and I was certainly not disappointed.”
