Weddings get more expensive every year, and we found 15 couples who are probably the prime reason for the increase. Whether it’s spending a ton of cash, buying an over the top wedding cake (like this “Back to the Future” cake) or having a wild dance party (like these 6 Funniest Wedding First Dances), these couples have the 15 Most Elaborate Weddings out there. I hate them for setting the bar too high. I especially hate that I accidentally booked my nuptials at one of these 10 Worst Themed Wedding Chapels.
12. The Rolling Stones play as a wedding band.
Okay, I have to admit this sounds awesome. Although the idea of Keith Richards swaggering around a room full of my relatives smelling of Jim Beam and looking like death does not fill me with glee. Apparently, a mystery couple shelled out almost $10 million dollars for the boys to play a 90 minute set. For that amount of money, Mick better do the chicken dance.
11. Elizabeth Hurley gets hitched on two continents.
Model Elizabeth Hurley first wed her husband Arun Nayar in Wales. The highlight of the ceremony was when pop star Elton John gave a speech to the bride and groom. The couple left Europe the had another multi-day celebration in Nayar’s home country of India. Overall the wedding party lasted almost a week and involved, priests, horses, a castle and a field of flower petals. I’m screwed. My car already has a flat tire.
10. Wedding party dances to altar.
My church doesn’t even allow skirts to the knee because the priest said he thought they were “too revealing.” You think I can sell him on a little dance number?! He still thinks the Beatles are Satan! And stop pretending like white people have fun at church! We all know it’s boring as sh*t! That’s why they pass out booze in the middle of it!
9. Wedding cake is built to look like bride.
Nothing says “love” like digging into the image of your new wife’s face with a knife! If you want oral pleasure that bad, don’t be so coy about the message, lady!
8. Man opens phony art exhibit for proposal.
When do you people find time to work? For the amount of effort that this guy put into tricking his girlfriend so he could surprise her with a ring, he could’ve cured cancer or brought peace to the Middle East! James Bond didn’t do this much intrigue to get to the bottom of something.
7. This is the most ridiculous and elaborate engagement of all time.
I don’t even think I could put this much effort into my marriage, much less the engagement. This guy has invitations, roses, hotel room, music, a photographer. What’s he going to do for the wedding? Hold it in space? You have to see this slide show to believe it. Warning, may cause you to spontaneously develop diabetes.
6. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes invite all of Hollywood.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ wedding cost around two million dollars, was held in a a castle and had a five-tiered monstrosity as a cake. Okay, I could almost forgive that, but the wedding list? Chr*st! How am I suppose to compete with Will Smith, Jada Pinkett, Jennifer Lopez and the Beckhams? This guest list could be the cast of “Vanilla Sky 2.”
5. Russian banker empties bank to wed.
Founder of MDM bank, billionaire Andrei Melnichenko is so rich, he spent 3.6 million dollars just for Christina Aguilera to sing at his wedding. (Although that’s only half of what I would spend to make sure she wouldn’t sing at my wedding.) He also paid Whitney Houston to sing too and both were flown to Cannes via private jet. I’m just glad I didn’t have to go to this wedding. What the Hell would you buy for him as a wedding gift? Japan?!
4. Marriage…in… Spaaaaaaaace!
Too late Engagement Guy! There’s a couple so dedicated to making their marriage a spectacle, that they’re getting married in space! The blessed event is due to launch in 2010 and it’s going to be Hell trying to find a place to screw some lonely bridesmaid.
3. Married…with Warcraft
Warcraft is com-pli-cated and completely sad. If you ever get married in an online fantasy game, it’s time to unplug your computer and see sunlight for a few years.
2. Couple build their entire wedding around making a music video.
These people look way too relaxed to be in a wedding, so I can only conclude that they are incredibly drunk.
1. “It’s just how I imagined it honey! Scorpions and all!”
Although sharing the expense of a wedding with five other couples does appeal to me, covering myself with live insects does not.
Everybody loves a wedding. Well, everybody loves champagne and cake. Check out the greatest wedding cake and 10 Most Unhappy Wedding Couple Photos.
