The Intrigue of Celebrity Weddings

Unusual Wedding Favors -
Often times, after reading about celebrity weddings and what the cost was, I wonder why they bothered. These lavish celebrity weddings amaze me. Some celebrities spend millions of dollars to wed and pamper their guests when they simply get divorced within a few years. Sure, they may have thought that when they said 'til death do us part', they meant them. However, many celebrity weddings end in court cases not too long afterwards.
I admit though, I love to look at photos of brilliant celebrity weddings. I love seeing their gowns and the decorations. The cakes are always unique and extravagant; I imagine they taste just as wonderful as they look. I also love to see pictures of the guests to see how many other celebrities were in attendance. Celebrity weddings are always a top priority for the media and attract more attention than they probably deserve. Of course, some celebrity weddings have resulted in what seems to be happily ever after. There are some famous couples who have been together for a very long time. I think that's wonderful.
Many celebrity weddings are held out of the country to attempt to avoid the paparazzi and media attention. They try to keep wedding dates and locations top secret to further avoid the attention. Sometimes they are successful but once the media even has an inkling that there may be a celebrity wedding, they will camp out for days for that photo opportunity. And let's face it, celebrity weddings provide for some photos that probably pay some big money. When photos do surface from celebrity weddings, brides-to-be cut out photos and carry them around with them. They want their cake to resemble so and so's cake, they want their hair to be done like the celebrity's was. Brides want to wear dresses that a particular celebrity wore. It can create much admiration and a determination to have a wedding that may be similar to some celebrity weddings. Many fans planning their weddings will find out where the celebrity couple spent their honeymoon and attempt to visit there as well. Unless there is quite a bit of money to be spent, being able to reserve the same locations that celebrity weddings took place or visit their honeymoon destination, a simpler plan needs to take place.
I can't help but wonder, if you are invited to celebrity weddings, what in the world do you bring as a gift? I mean, you're attending a wedding of a celebrity - what can you get them that they don't already have? I'd like to just have the money that is spent to have one of these lavish celebrity weddings. I'd even take a quarter of the money. Or many an invitation.
