Love is love, whether you’re famous or not!

Summer is over and so are the celebrity weddings. Let’s look at who tied the knot and how some of their choices actually mirror us mere mortals (by the way, that is a subtle hint to one of the couples).

Counting down the top 7 weddings we start with singer Alicia Keys and producer/rapper Swizz Beatz. While their guest list includes Bono and Queen Latifah at the 7/31wedding, you might have been spinning their albums for your own guests’ dancing pleasure. She wore Vera Wang and he wore Tom Ford at the French Mediterranean location. Alicia is also pregnant but I don’t think this was a shotgun wedding, as they have been together a long time.

Number 6 is country singing sensation Carrie Underwood and ice hockey star Mike Fisher who had a southern wedding in style. They tied the knot at the Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation in South Georgia. It was reported to be a nice wedding for a nice couple. If you consider donning your pup Ace in a Swarovski crystal encrusted pink tuxedo as nice, then Carrie leads the charge. We all know our ChaCha founder Heather loves pink, and I know she would agree that is a“sparkly southern wedding!” Carrie began with a big and fluffy Monique Lhuillier wedding gown but then changed into a strapless and sexy Lhuillier gown to “get her groove on.” Yes, famous brides want to dance too!

Number 5 is British Pop star Robbie Williams an actress Ayda Fields. They tricked the media and ended up having a simple ceremony on 8/7 in Los Angeles. Sexy 24 year old Megan Fox weds Brian Austin Green from 90210 on 6/24 as the number 4 couple. Talk about simple, no one but Brian’s 8 year old son on the beach of Hawaii was present. Brian knew a good thing when he had one as this was his second proposal to Megan who finally agreed to commit this time! Brian is a lucky man, and men all over the world may have cried at tear at that wedding - and not because of the moving vows!

Actor Orlando Bloom and Australian Victoria Secret model Miranda Kerr’s wedding make them the #3 couple. She had to miss a big fashion show to fit in her Caribbean honeymoon. See, we all miss work for the important things like a wedding!

Young actress Hilary Duff (age 22) married hockey player Mike Comrie in an intimate wedding for 100 in Santa Barbara, California. Her sister Haylie was her maid of honor. Sisters always snag that role! For the drumroll please, the #1 wedding this year was for all you vampire lovers, Anna Paquin (28) and Stephen Moyer (40) of True Blood, who found true love in Malibu. Love defies age and human death! See, all of us mere mortals need love.
