Weddings are very intimate moments that are shared with family and loved ones. Whether grandiose or modest, so much effort is put in by the couple and others who may chip in to support to make sure the occasion leaves a long-lasting impression.
With the financial backing, celebrity couples pretty much can afford any kind of wedding they wish. Some may prefer a strictly private one, like Jay-Z and Beyoncé, who had theirs at the former’s Tribeca apartment in New York City. Others, on the other hand, may prefer booking a ticket and having it at their dream destination.
Irrespective of their preferences, these talked-about occasions, including the ones we sadly couldn’t get a peek of, have always turned out to be what they wished for and more.
Take a look at those who decided to have theirs at their dream destination surrounded by family and friends.
John Legend and Chrissy Teigen
The singer and model exchanged vows in Lake Como, Italy, in 2013 in the presence of family and friends. The location holds so many memories for the couple as that was where they spent one of their first vacations.
“One of the first vacations we took together was to Lake Como, so we thought it would be nice to marry where we fell in love,” Legend told Martha Stewart Weddings.
Michael Jordan and Yvette Prieto
The former basketball champion and former Cuban model got married at the Bear’s Club in Jupiter, Florida, in 2013.
The couple tied the knot before 500 guests at the Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church and held the reception at a golf course with 1,500 guests reportedly joining them.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
The celebrity couple tied the knot at the Belvedere Fort in Florence, Italy, in 2014 in what was a very lavish ceremony.
Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys
The award-winning musicians got married at a private home by the Mediterranean Sea in Italy. Keys was pregnant around that time.
Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez
The duo tied the knot at the early Renaissance French chateau, Chateau des Condé in Vallery in 2013. They, however, divorced in 2016.
