Our Favourite Weddings Of 2011

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

I feel like I’ve just stepped into the movie Four Weddings and a Funeral. Minus the morbid fancy of a funeral, it does seem like everyone around me is getting married. Two of my colleagues are tying the knot in the next two months and they discuss everything at length from dresses, reception venues to honeymoon destinations. It’s inevitable really considering we are entering wedding season…

I don’t know if I’m suddenly more aware of it as I approach the second half of my twenties or if nuptial celebrations are somehow permeating their way into my daily culture in a much more obvious way. I would like to think it’s the latter of the two as I’m blaming the massive hype around this year’s upcoming celebrity weddings.

At no.1

The Royal Wedding

The most anticipated wedding of the year…it’s Kate & Wills. Set to send the streets of London into one massive weekend party. Start organising that BBQ!

No. 2

Kate Moss & Jamie Hince

Rock & Roll royalty Kate Moss and Jamie Hince are set to get hitched in July. A very cool antidote to the conservative preppy royal weddings.

No. 3

Zara Phillips & Mike Tindall

Not another royal wedding…yes, the Queen’s grand-daughter will marry England rugby captain, Mike Tindall on the 30th July. Whilst Will and Kate will be cutting red ribbon tape and attending charity functions, this active pair of sports nuts will be hitting the slopes instead.

And my personal favourite…

My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding

It was everyone’s Channel 4 obsession. We just couldn’t take our eyes of My Big Fat Gypsy Weddings. From the ridiculous dresses to the bizarre customs of the travelling community, there was not a boring moment in the series. The celebrity weddings both rock and royal will be sure to celebrate in true star style, but will they be as entertaining as this lot were?

Saturday Was a Nice Day For A White Wedding With Eternal Bachelor Robbie

Monday, August 9th, 2010

At last! Robbie Williams finally decided to take a wife and was married in a low key (by Hollywood standards) ceremony on Saturday afternoon to girlfriend of three years, Ayda Field.

The guestlist was restricted to close friends and family only (oh, and Hello! magazine of course). Hellicopters circled the couples’ home where the wedding took place in attempts to catch a glimpse of Robbie and Ayda tying the knot.

When they called off the wedding that was originally planned for Valentine’s Day, we thought Robbie might have been mourning his bachelor existence of days gone by. Though after “fake proposing” on an Australian chat show and then telling Wossy, “I was introduced to Ayda and things just changed,” it seemed like his wild child days were definitely over.

Perhaps this is one Hollywood marriage that will survive the usual expiry date…official wedding photos out this week.

Just a Little Bit of History Repeating?

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Whether we wanted it or not, we´ve been inundated with the trials and tribulations of glamour girl turned entrepreneur Katie Price, ever since she first popped up on Page 3. In our celebrity crazed society, this shameless self-promoter captured the attention of the British public and the insatiable papparazzi.

After making her way on to the small screen in “I’m a Celebrity”, she found love in the jungle with teeny bopper favourite, Peter Andre and was later married in true Cinderella style. We all love a good rise and fall story and it seemed as though she had hit rock bottom with the failure of her marriage and the vilification by the press of wild party antics and reckless abandonment of family values.

With Ms Price it’s certainly a case of what comes down, must also go up. Only these days, she seems to go up and down more than Britney’s weight. A new reality TV show documenting the thrills and spills of her new relationship (Katie and Alex: For Better and Worse) and a forthcoming and most likely very public celebration of the recent marriage, does it not seem like a little bit of history repeating?

Katie Price, wedding numero uno

If in doubt, check the evidence. On Tuesday night, at London’s Mayfair Hotel, Katie celebrated her bachelorette party with a cake featuring a miniature version of herself. It looks familiar, doesn’t it? If you´ve arrived at the realisation that the figure on the cake carries a striking resemblance to Katie on her first wedding day, then you might wonder if this cheeky little reference serves as an indicator that this marriage might be as disposable and transient as the first.

We can’t predict how the next chapter in the Katie Price saga will turn out, but if the past can teach us anything, it’s that if often repeats itself.
