Celebrities never cease to amaze us. And when it comes to a wedding ceremony, they do even more, leaving everyone speechless. Many decide to get married in a strange and striking way, either because of the theme, the costumes or the duration, attracting the attention of fans and the media.

O awesome.club chose especially for you, the reader, 12 celebrity weddings that went down in history for being rare, extravagant and quite original.

The wedding followed the rites of Scientology. Therefore, as a sign of love and fidelity, Tom Cruise handed the bride a comb, a pot and a cat. Moreover, the wedding was held in a luxurious Italian castle.

The actress, icon of women’s fashion, chose a black dress to get married, going against the tradition of wearing white. Years later, it looks like she regretted it, although the model looked amazing on her.

As in all luxury weddings, there could be some eccentricities. Nicole Richie changed clothes three times, one for each moment of the event. Most impressive was who brought the bride down the aisle: a trained elephant called Tai, to bring the couple good luck. Another detail: who united the couple and officiated the ceremony was the rapper Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons.

The actress and the musician got married aboard a luxury yacht in Saint-Tropez, France. The ceremony was extended to three other cities in the United States. The bride and groom wore only swimsuits and sailor hats.

The country star got married wearing her mother’s dress and completed the look with silver Texan boots. During dinner, a dish made with deer meat was served, hunted by the singer herself!

The artists’ wedding was very romantic. The venue for the celebration was decorated with 10,000 black roses. The groom’s dog was in charge of taking the rings to the altar and the bride’s father made the union official.

The couple spared no expense for their marriage. Elizabeth and Arun had a huge wedding, in the best fairy tale style. First, they were married in an Anglican ceremony. The feast that followed lasted six days, according to Indian tradition. Finally, they had a Hindu wedding.

Michael Jackson lent his Neverland ranch to the actress to marry for the eighth time. He even walked her down the aisle. The wedding was a success, there were many famous guests and it attracted hundreds of journalists and photographers. Several helicopters flew over the ranch to obtain exclusive images and a photographer was encouraged to jump with a parachute while the union was made official.

The NBA ace has always perplexed everyone, and not just because of his talent on the court, but because of his rather eccentric style. When he married the model and actress of SOS Malibu, it was he who wore a beautiful white dress. The bride wore a tuxedo.

The couple met just three months before the ceremony. So the wedding was an unexpected event. When guests arrived at what they thought was an engagement ceremony, they received a card saying, “Surprise! Today is our wedding!”

The couple got together at the Playboy mansion. Hugh Hefner himself, founder of the magazine, hosted the party after learning of the engagement. And, of course, he participated accompanied by his three girlfriends at the time. And that wasn’t the strangest thing, but the fact that Hefner himself was an ex-boyfriend of Wilkinson’s.

What drew attention, in this case, was not the wedding itself, but the renewal of vows, held at Disney, in the USA, with Sleeping Beauty’s castle in the background. The lovebirds celebrated their wedding anniversary with all the magic of fairy tales. Mariah wore a luxurious dress and Nick dressed like a prince charming.
