Celebrity weddings are a world a wide attention grabber, with most of them being expensive, covered by the media, and often involved on some controversy or other. Most Celebrity weddings are held at scenic locales, or in castles, or on enchanting beaches etc. but no matter where it is held, these weddings definitely hold the attention of most media and celebrity fans.
Celebrity weddings are more often than not, extremely lavish, extravagant events, with the celebrity couple spending on clothes, the wedding venue, the food & drink, and sometimes also for media attention. The recent Wayne Rooney wedding is rumoured to be the most expensive ever, with an estimated cost of about £5 million. The wedding party consists private jets to fly guests to the supposed venue, wedding rings costing £100,000, stags and hens for decorations, an elaborate Durazzo Villa in the country of Italy, and also as a gift to each guest a box of rare butterflies for them to release into the air.
In July 1999, another big celebrity wedding took place in Dublin at the Luttrellstown Castle. The wedding cost less than the Rooney wedding, but was grand nevertheless. Following a small family wedding, the guests, dressed in black & white, were given lavish meals with rose champagne and toffee pudding as dessert. Victoria Adams was dressed in a satin gown, and both the celebrities let loose white dives into the sky afterwards, followed by a lovely fireworks display.
Celebrity weddings often tend to set a benchmark for normal weddings. Many couples nowadays are going by the kind of weddings their favourite celebrity had, and taking the affordable sections from those, fit them into their own wedding plan. However, this can get slightly rough at times, because the exuberant costs of celebrity weddings might not be affordable by the common folks, what with mere wedding gowns of a celebrity being around £200,000.
