There is something special about celebrity weddings. They are extravagant. Each element of these weddings is unforgettable. Some celebrity weddings are nothing short of a fairy tale. Though many celebs have started to opt for smaller, intimate weddings lately, they are grandeur in their own way.
While some celebrities opted for a hush-hush wedding away from the media glare in a scenic setting like Lake Como, Italy, others took the big fat Indian wedding route and didn't keep it a secret for their fans.
