Here are 10+ of the most unorthodox celebrity weddings that have ever happened. You might be surprised by some of the couples on this list!
Britney Spears and Jason Allen Alexander
Given how out-of-nowhere this wedding was back in 2004 , fans weren’t that surprised when it didn’t last.
Britney married her childhood friend in Vegas, and they were only together for 55 hours before getting the marriage annulled.
Piper Perabo and Stephen Kay
The Coyote Ugly star wore a bright silver gown on her wedding day and a yellow veil.
The wedding was a very colorful one that ended with the couple walking down the streets of New York City while a New Orleans-style band played.
Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh
The end of his marriage to Camille was quite scandalous as it played out while she was on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Then, just 18 days after his divorce was finalized, he married Kayte Walsh on the stage of the theater for his Broadway show.
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
Well, technically, we are talking about their vow renewal, but it’s so dreamy we had to include it.
They renewed their vows in Disneyland on their five-year wedding anniversary. They had the entire park shut down just for them. Who wouldn’t love that?
Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett
Kendra is known for being a former Playboy playmate and living at the Playboy Mansion.
However, it was rather shocking to many fans when she chose the Playboy Mansion as the venue for her wedding to Hank Baskett in 2009.
This definitely wasn’t an orthodox move.
Olivia Wilde and Tao Ruspoli
Wilde was only 19 when she married the Italian filmmaker back in 2003.
They got engaged while at Burning Man, and their wedding took place in an abandoned school bus in Virginia.
Now, that is just really out there!
Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock
This wedding was a big deal in the tabloids back when it happened, but in the end, it wasn’t meant to be.
They got married on a yacht while in Saint-Tropez and Anderson was even wearing a bikini for the ceremony.
They started the divorce process four months later.
David and Victoria Beckham
These two had an unorthodox wedding precisely because it was so lavish.
They tied the knot in a castle outside of Dublin, and the location even involved having to fly their guests in on helicopters. She even had a ridiculously expensive tiara on.
Given how fabulous this couple is, this doesn’t seem surprising.
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden
While some celeb weddings are unorthodox for being understated, others are more lavish and include wedding details most people wouldn’t think of.
Their wedding was held at Lionel Richie’s home and featured a living, real elephant as well as a horse and carriage.
Dita Von Teese and Marilyn Manson
Given who these two are, it’s no surprise that their wedding was very gothic in aesthetic and style.
She wore a purple Vivienne Westwood gown , but despite them both looking fabulous and theatrical, they were only married for a year.
Dianna Agron and Winston Marshall
The Glee star tied the knot to the lead singer of Mumford and Sons in an over-the-top, three-day wedding held in Morocco.
They even rode down the aisle atop two camels. This wasn’t your everyday wedding, even for celebrities.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner
These two both looked beautiful on their big day, but it wasn’t a super lavish ceremony.
They kept things simple when they wed in Las Vegas after partying with family and friends.
They were even married by an Elvis impersonator and exchanged ring pops.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick
These two got married back in 1997 in a secret wedding. They invited their guests to a “cocktail party.”
Once there, they were lead to a synagogue in Manhattan where the couple got married. SJP didn’t even wear white and was instead in a black cocktail dress.
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth
This couple got married at a very chill ceremony at her home in Tennessee.
The wedding was held very suddenly after their home in Malibu got destroyed in a wildfire.
But, as many fans know, these two split up after a year of marriage.
Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell.
These two have been together since 2007 and they got married in the courthouse in Beverly Hills in 2013.
They wore really casual clothes, and the entire affair seemed really inexpensive and relaxed for such a famous couple. They spent less than $200 on their wedding.
Keira Knightley and James Righton
Keira and James were looking to keep things intimate for their nuptials. They were married in the small village of Mazan in France, and only 10 guests were reportedly in attendance.
How on Earth do you cut a guest list to 10 people!?
Shenae Grimes and Josh Beech
Shenae wanted her wedding to best represent her. So, instead of the classic white dress, she opted instead for charcoal black.
The gothic motif was well represented in everything from Shenae’s dress to the couple’s choice of table accents.
Amber Tamblyn and David Cross
Amber and David decided to take things back to nature. The bride wore a beaming yellow dress that shone like the sun, and paddled herself in a kayak to the altar!
She was also barefoot.
Kat Von D and Leafar Seyer
Kat Von D’s wedding looked like a music video for My Chemical Romance, and I mean that as a compliment.
The only thing that shocked me was that there wasn’t a single tattoo station anywhere to be found.
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren
Jessica and Cash’s wedding was a complete spur of the moment ordeal. Neither had ever thought seriously about marriage but were compelled to make a trip to the courthouse that day.
They were married beneath an arch of dusty plastic flowers.
Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy
When planning a wedding, there are a ton of things you need to consider: venue, decorations, menu items, etc.
Sizable bowls filled with cigarettes usually don’t make the cut. Unless your names are Mary-Kate and Olivier, that is.
Solange Knowles and Alan Ferguson
I’m all for new and unique ways for brides and grooms to walk themselves down the aisle. But peddling yourself on a bike ? I’m just not so sure.
What if you fell or crashed over your handlebars; what then?!
Katy Perry and Russell Brand
Katy and Russell were known for being eccentric. When the time came for their big day, they decided to host the venue outside of a tiger preservation park in Rajasthan, India.
The ceremony also unfolded over a six-day period.
Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton
I’ve been to a lot of weddings in my time, but I’ve never been to one where venison was on the menu.
Especially venison that was shot and killed by the bride herself, just the night before.
Mariah Carey and Tommy Mottola
How many flower girls does one wedding need? I always thought that the answer was pretty obvious, but clearly, I don’t think like Mariah Carey does.
The iconic diva included 50 different flower girls at her wedding to Tommy Mottola.
Rush Limbaugh and Kathryn Rogers
Rush Limbaugh is a notoriously outspoken anti-gay, right-wing political correspondent. But for his wedding to Kathryn Rogers, Rush did something incredibly out of character: he invited Elton John to sing.
Elton agreed and it only cost Rush $1 million .
Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne
Avril built a reputation off of being the anti-Britney, so it would only make sense that her wedding would also fit that mold.
She and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger had a lavish gothic affair , instead of the traditional white wedding.
Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain
Only Kurt Kobain could get away with wearing a dirty flannel button-up shirt on his wedding day.
It must have been itchy as can be, considering that Kurt and Courtney were married on a beach in Honolulu.
Angelina Jolie and Johnny Lee Miller
After only knowing each other for a few short months, Johnny and Angelina decided to hit the road and elope in Las Vegas.
Angelina reportedly wore a t-shirt with Johnny’s name written in blood across the front. How…romantic?
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
Everyone likes to boast that their wedding was a fairytale experience. But for Katie and Tom, they came as close to hitting the mark as any couple can.
The pair were married in a castle in Bracciano, Italy .
Rose Leslie and Kit Harington.
Rose and Kit’s wedding was a truly regal affair. Her family is actually Scottish royalty, so Rose and Kit were married in all the trappings of Scottish wealth and tradition.
They tied the knot in Wardhill Castle , which is owned by Rose’s father.
