Glenn Alinskie and Chelsea Olivia are celebrities from Indonesia. The two dated for nearly 7 years before they decided to take the plunge in 2015. They got married in a lavish, Catholic ceremony at the Church of Santa Maria Patron of the Assumption.
The bride walked down the aisle in a stunning off-the-shoulder gown made with white lace, and a matching veil. They held their reception in the Hotel Mulia Senayan in Central Jakarta, where guests enjoyed a lovely castle-shaped cake that towered over the room at an impressive 15 feet tall and was worth an estimated $4.5 million. The theme of the affair was “enchanted garden,” and they definitely nailed the whole fairytale, dream wedding thing!
James Bond's Wedding
Former 007 and Mamma Mia star Pierce Brosnan got married to journalist Keely Shaye Smith in a beautifully intimate ceremony in Ireland in 2001. The wedding was held at the Ashford Castle Hotel, set in a 13th-century castle, which sits next to the biggest lake in Ireland – talk about an incredible backdrop for a wedding! Apparently, Brosnan hired the best wedding planners he could find to help them create the ceremony, which Smith called, “a mixture of The Secret Garden and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
About 120 people were invited to join the couple for the celebration, which was mainly all family members and close friends. The area where the vows took place was decorated with nearly $15,000 of flowers, and everyone enjoyed a 6-tier cake, which was made to be a replica of the same one that JFK and Jackie O had at their wedding. In total, the extravagant affair cost about $1.5 million, money well spent considering the happy couple is still together to this very day!
Sporty Spice Wedding
Victoria Adams, also formerly known as “Posh Spice,” got married to soccer player David Beckham in 1999. While David has recently been quoted as calling his marriage to Victoria, “hard work,” the two are still going strong today. The celebrities spent a (comparably) mild $1.1 million on the celebration, with only $800,000 of it going towards the actual ceremony. Of course, this was before 2000, so you can imagine what it might have cost in today's money!
Victoria and her new husband sat upon golden thrones in the Luttrellstown Castle outside of Dublin. The bride wore a stunning Vera Wang gown with a 20-foot train and of course – a golden tiara. As for the cake, the couple requested that the toppers be nude figurines of themselves. Not everyone could get away with a bold move like that, but these two certainly can. Yum!
Elizabeth Hurley and Arun Nayar's Big Day
Actress Elizabeth Hurley wanted to feel like a princess when she wed Tyco Vice President Arun Nayar in 2007, and what Elizabeth Hurley wants, Elizabeth Hurley gets! The couple tied the knot in an extravagant international affair that spanned the course of a week and cost nearly $2.5 million.
The first part of the festivities was the Anglican wedding, which was held at Sudeley Castle in England. After the traditional wedding, they flew out to India for a Hindu ceremony, along with a week full of other activities. Flights between the countries for the couple and their guests ran them around $300,000, along with the $100,000 they spent on hotel rooms.
Christina Aguilera’s Big Day
In 2002, superstar Christina Aguilera met music producer Jordan Bratman in Atlanta while she was there working on an album. The two instantly hit it off. Bratman wound up moving back to Los Angeles with her and three years later – they got married in a beautiful ceremony that cost around $2 million.
Although Christina Aguilera has always been very humble, she of course still wanted to have the fairytale wedding of her dreams, and she did just that. 150 guests were invited to a small ceremony at the Staglin Family Vineyard in Napa Valley, California, where the couple exchanged vows amidst a sea of multi-colored roses. Christina said, “I do,” in a custom-made Christian Lacroix dress and Louboutin heels.
