Quietest Celebrity Wedding – Matt Damon and Luciana Bozan Barroso

After learning that Luciana was pregnant, Matt and Luciana quietly tied the knot at New York City Hall. Without friends and family present, they got on the phone immediately afterwards to share the good news. Now that's a quiet elopement! That same weekend, the couple also announced that they are expecting their first child together. Bozan has a 7-year-old child from a previous relationship. Luciana and Matt met at Miami hotspot nightclub Crobar, where Luciana was working as a bartender.Read more about Matt Damon and Luciana Bozan Barroso's marriage


Showiest and Most Expensive Celebrity Wedding of 2005 – Donald Trump and Melania Knauss

From her two couture wedding dresses, to the donated multi-course meal from Le Cirque complete with 7-tier cake and Cristal champagne, to the dazzling Mar-a-Lago venue itself, there was no expense spared in the January wedding of Donald Trump and Melania Knauss. Estimated to cost well over a million dollars retail, not including the 1.5 million dollar Graff wedding ring the Donald bought, shrewd businessman Trump seems to have negotiated for significant discounts in exchange for the publicity. Trump even hired a team of 3 PR reps just to handle the wedding buzz! It seemed as if the theme of the wedding was excess – from Melania's dress that was so full it was back-breakingly heavy and hard to walk in, to the centerpieces that used over 10,000 flowers and cost over $1000 a piece. It could have been a gorgeous wedding but each detail was just taken too far. Read more about Melania Knauss' Wedding Dress

Most Romantic Celebrity Wedding of the Year -- Heidi Klum and Seal
This couple is the kind I love to cheer about. When Seal and Heidi Klum fell in love, there was no denying it – one just has to see them together to understand how profound their love is. Seal has been a very caring parent to Heidi's daughter Leni, and the couple have just had a new baby boy, Henry. After Seal presented Klum with a honking 10 karat canary diamond engagement ring, one might have thought their wedding would be similarly splashy. On the contrary, they got married on the beach with 40 of their family and friends present. The ceremony took place near Seal's home in Costa Careyas, Mexico and included such personal touches as a song that Seal had written especially for the occasion. Read more about Heidi Klum and Seal


Shortest Lasting Celebrity Marriage of 2005 – Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney

While this year's short-lasting marriage can't compete with last year's, Renee and Kenny's romantic story wasn't one for the ages. After only four months of marriage, they called it quits, citing "fraud" as the reason for the annulment. Since they only dated for a few months, and Renee had a nasty breakup with musician Jack White only four months before their wedding, it came as a surprise to all of Hollywood when they married, but shocked few when they split up.Read more about Renee and Kenny's wedding


Celebrity Couple Who Beat the Odds - Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles

In the face of public criticism, a beloved ex-wife, a mother-in-law that hates the bride to be and just happens to be Queen, and a complicated set of marriage laws governing royals, Prince Charles and Camilla found a way to have a beautiful and tasteful wedding. Camilla has won over most of the public, and Charles's two sons, Prince Harry and Prince William. While the Queen didn't attend the wedding ceremony itself, she did host the reception, and said that she was proud of her son on his wedding day. Now the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla looked elegant in a Robinson Valentine cream silk coat and dress with a Philip Treacy hat. More information on Prince Charles and Camilla's Wedding


Most Surprising Celebrity Wedding of 2005 - Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher

Rumors surrounding the couple had so often turned out to be untrue, that no one really believed the couple was engaged. Even once they were married, fans were trying to figure out if the news was for real, or if they were just being Punk'd. But once Ok! Magazine released the pictures of the beautiful bride and groom, we had to accept that this was the real deal, and that the only way we'd been Punk'd was in not seeing it coming. The couple, who follow the ancient mystical system of Kabbalah, Hollywood style, wore red strings around their wrists and dressed in all white, as dictated by Kabbalah traditions. The intimate ceremony was witnessed by Demi's kids, Rumor and Scout, as well as her ex-husband Bruce Willis. According to spectators, the room was filled with love and support for Ashton and Demi.
