The Celebrity Weddings That Made Headlines
It is quite frequently said and believed that when it comes to celebrities, what you see is definitely not what you get. It is often alleged that their relationships, including budding romances, are all just one big PR stunt.
But in the year 2018, the world saw a rush of celebrity weddings take place, from the hush-hush nuptials of Neha Dhupia to the larger-than-life Isha-Anand wedding. These celebrities declared their love for their partners in a grand fashion by acknowledging it in front of the entire world.
Now that the world is getting ready for another Ambani wedding, we decided to take a walk down the memory lane to capture the highlights of the year that Cupid worked overtime in the tinsel town! Here are highlights of 5 such grand celebrity weddings that made headlines in the past year:
1. Sonam Kapoor Ahuja And Anand Ahuja
You know that when the resident fashionista of Bollywood decided to bid farewell to her bachelor days, she would do that in her own unique style. And Sonam fulfilled these expectations with her ultra-glam wedding. From coining unique hashtags such as #EverydayPhenomenal, #SonamkiShaadi to sharing the images of the ceremonies, to having a Sangeet ceremony that saw all the stars of the Bollywood having a gala time, Sonam’s wedding generated quite a bit of media frenzy and rightly so!
The wedding pictures which were showcased in the Vogue magazine only go on to prove the grandness of the affair by giving us a peek at the spectacular visuals of the day.
2. Neha Dhupia And Angad Bedi
We were still recovering from the after-effects of Sonam’s dazzling May madness when the news came that the uber cool Ms. Dhupia has tied the knot with her long-time friend, son of cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi, and model, Angad Bedi.
The actor announced the marriage by posting a picture of the nuptials with the caption “Best decision of my life…today, I married my best friend. Hello there, husband.”
Needless to say, speculations about the reason for this hush-hush affair made the scribes work extra hard!
3. Ranveer Singh And Deepika Padukone
There onscreen sizzling chemistry had already given enough fodder to the gossip hounds but when Deepika admitted to dating Ranveer on the popular talk show, Koffee With Karan, the rumor mills went berserk. And when finally, Deepika posted the official invite to her wedding on her official Twitter handle, they lost their collective minds!
Sadly, their wedding was a strictly no-paparazzi affair, but they did post a couple of pictures of their grand wedding on popular demand. The wedding, which took place in the idyllic locales of Lake Como, was an amalgamation of both the actors’ heritage as it involved a Sindhi ceremony as well as a Konkani ceremony. This was followed by a couple of receptions in the various metropolis of the country. Needless to say, the entire nation kept refreshing their browser just to get a closer look at the wedding of their heartthrobs!
4. Priyanka Chopra Jonas And Nick Jonas
Our desi girl left behind her single days by tying the knot with the videshi popstar, Nick Jonas. And true to her megastar status, everything about her wedding was larger than life, whether it was her 75-foot-long wedding veil or the fact that the wedding ceremonies were held in a palace!
It should come as no surprise that this wedding with its many multi-cultural ceremonies and horde of celebrity guests which included the Prime Minister of the country, was one of the most-googled weddings of the year. And if we are being honest, looking at the gorgeous pictures of the affair, we can’t deny that it deserved to be.
5. Isha Ambani And Anand Piramal
What can you expect when the heiress to one of the wealthiest families in the world ties the knot with a billionaire in a spectacular multi-ceremony wedding taking place in different cities? Well, the dictionary hasn’t come up with the term to describe this phenomenon that took place last year when Isha Ambani, daughter of business magnate, Mukesh Ambani, got married to her long-time boyfriend, Anand Piramal.
The wedding which saw the Bollywood stars serving dinner to the guests of the Ambanis was attended by Hillary Clinton and also included a performance by the pop-goddess, Beyoncé. Let that sink in for a minute. And you thought India was a third-world country! Now that the next Ambani sibling is preparing to tie the knot, we can only expect the affair to be more grandiose.
While these celeb-weddings were making news in our country, there were other celebs in the other parts of the world who were following suit, such as Kit Harrington and Leslie Rose, or the British royalty, Prince Harry and the American actress, Meghan Markle.
The year 2018 was certainly loaded with these celeb weddings, and here’s hoping that 2019 too, follows suit!
