While it's all very sweet and romantic when stars marry in secret, you really can't beat a truly crazy celebrity wedding! Whether lavish with a capital L , weird, tacky or just plain bonkers, some celebs really go to town when it comes to their nuptials.
Here are the craziest celebrity weddings of recent times.
Utterly bonkers! The location was Rajastan, the theme was Bollywood , it cost a cool $400,000, and they did it to the max. Elephants? You bet. Camels? Hell yeah! Katy gave her new hubby a baby elephant as a gift. She got a tiger. This is a hot contender for the title of craziest celebrity wedding ever.
Katy's bestie Rihanna organised her hen party, which was surprisingly tame. They did Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand in Vegas. No headline-grabbing antics. Yes, really!
A 16th century fortress in Florence, 600 guests, a wall of white roses, a 7ft high wedding cake , gold champagne, a wedding dress by Givenchy, and an Italian tenor to serenade the bride as she walked up the aisle. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West definitely didn't disappoint when they got hitched in 2014.
Britters married backing dancer Kevin (or K-Fed as he liked to be called) in 2004. Guests thought it was an engagement party, but surprise! It was actually their wedding. The bridesmaids and groomsmen changed into Juicy Couture tracksuits emblazoned with 'Maids ' and 'Pimp Daddy ' . K-Fed ripped his new wife's garter off with his teeth, and the pair were together for a crazy two years before getting divorced.
She wore Vera Wang and an 18-carat gold crown studded with diamonds. The newlyweds sat on golden thrones on a raised platform at the wedding breakfast. The cake topper was a nude statue of the pair, who reportedly requested shopping vouchers instead of wedding gifts. Good job really, as David apparently had to changed his suit halfway through as baby Brooklyn vommed on it!
Hard to believe now, but Katie and Peter were once the hottest celebrity couple on the circuit. After meeting and falling in love on the set of I 'm a Celebrity, they got hitched in 2005 at Highclere Castle in a Disney-style fairytale wedding. The colour scheme was bubblegum pink, the bride wore a dress that looked like your nan's toilet roll holder, and arrived in a horse-drawn pumpkin carriage . Kerry Katona and Sarah Harding were bridesmaids. Peter looked like he was playing Buttons in panto. The edition of OK! magazine that carried their wedding pics sold in record numbers.
Kid Rock and Baywatch babe Pammie got hitched back in 2006, on a yacht in St Tropez. She wore a white string bikini and a sailor hat. He decided against a shirt and just wore a pair of jeans. Hey, why not? Definitely a contender for the title of craziest celebrity wedding ever!
The actress and producer got hitched in a crazy celebrity wedding that cost a cool $3.5million . Michael Jackson was best man. Elizabeth Taylor was maid of honour. There was a 12-tier wedding cake, a 60-piece orchestra, and Tony Bennett entertained their 500 guests. Incidentally, Bennett is also rumoured to be singing at Lady Gaga's upcoming wedding to Taylor Kinney.
