Planning Elegance has a special celebrity wedding article feature – learn from their mistakes & mishaps. Hollywood stars often seem superior to the rest of us, in that they are more beautiful, wealthier, and far more glamorous. The plethora of divorces among Hollywood ranks proves that they can be as unlucky in love as everybody else. They also suffer from the same mishaps and mistakes that befall other bride and grooms upon their wedding day.

The Shortest Marriages

Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds married with much fanfare and proclamations of joy and happiness on New Year’s Day 2008, only to break up in a bitter feud less than two weeks later. Witnesses to the wedding, which took place on an exotic Polynesian island, reported seeing tension and cracks in the facade within hours of the ceremony.

Actress Drew Barrymore was married to Jerry Thomas, a bar owner, for a whopping 17 days in 1994. He cited her fame and age (19) as the reasons their marriage failed to work out.

Much-married Zsa Zsa Gabor tied the knot with her eighth husband, Felipe de Alba, on a ship. She split a day later, saying “he bored me” when asked for the reason behind the quick break-up.

Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney split 128 days after their 2005 wedding ceremony with bride citing “fraud” as the rationale for divorce. In response to the fraud allegations, Kenny Chesney quipped “the only fraud that was committed was me thinking that I knew what it was like … to be married.” Similar to buying a pet to see if you’re ready for children, some of these couples should try buying promise rings instead of wedding ones to see if they’re ready for marriage. I’m sure they’d save thousands when the relationship goes south in record time.

Wedding Mishaps and Bridezilla Moments

When Katherine Heigl married Josh Kelly in 2008, the glossy pictures appearing in fashion magazines made it appear to be a fairytale wedding. While the couple is happily married, they suffered a few bumps along the way. Kelly chose to go skiing a few days before the ceremony even after Heigl begged him not to go. He bumped into a large tree and ended up with an ugly cut on his nose and a bride who refused to speak to him until after the ceremony. En route to the airport to fly away for their Mexican honeymoon, Heigl realized that she had forgotten her passport. After a stop in California to pick up her passport, the couple eventually embarked on their long-awaited honeymoon.

Tori Spelling commissioned designer Randolph Duke to design the dress for her 2006 Fiji Island wedding to Dean McDermott, only to hate the end result and deem it “cheesy”. When she tried to get her $4700 deposit back, Duke told US Weekly, “I’ve never designed a dress for free. She won’t get her money back.” Spelling ended up strolling down the aisle in a white eyelet Dolce & Gabbana dress.
