Last night I read a Forbes piece about the 20 most expensive celebrity weddings, and was simply amazed by how much these people shelled out for their big day. The tabs ranged from $250,000 at No. 20 (Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban) to a whopping $3.5 million at No. 1 (Liza Minelli and David Gest).
The million-dollar weddings started at No. 15 with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, and included other such notable couples as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, David Beckham and Victoria Adams (Posh Spice), and Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren.
When I read things like this, I really have to wonder where all the money goes? I mean, just how expensive can the food, band, venue, flowers, gowns, tuxes, and bridesmaid gifts be? Sure, I could see costs climbing into the low six figures, but millions? I don’t get it!
It seems like such a waste to me, particularly since many of these high profile weddings end in divorce anyway.
