Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck
After Ben Affleck proposed to Jennifer Lopez in April 2021, the couple jetted off to Las Vegas to tie the knot in a surprise wedding in July. The nuptials, which took place at the Little White Wedding Chapel just after midnight, were attended by Lopez’ 14-year-old twins Emme and Max, whom she shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, 53.
Lopez, 53, and Affleck, 50, then said "I do" for a second time over the weekend in a three-day lavish celebration at Affleck’s 87-acre Georgia estate. Lopez wore three custom Ralph Lauren wedding gowns which she described as "dreamy" in her "On The JLo" newsletter.

Guests were treated to spectacular fireworks shows on both Friday and Saturday night and capped the weekend off with a brunch on Sunday. The couple said their vows during a ceremony on Saturday, which was officiated by life coach and podcast host Jay Shetty. There was an all-white dress code for the attendees of the ceremony.
The couple first dated in 2002 and were initially engaged to be married in 2003 before calling off the wedding and eventually splitting. Lopez went on to wed Anthony in 2004 and Affleck married Jennifer Garner in 2005. The couple share three children: Seraphina, 16, Violet, 13, and Samuel, 10.

During Lopez and Affleck's three-day nuptials in Georgia, an ambulance was seen leaving Affleck's residence twice. It was not confirmed who was first transported, however, the Daily Mail reported on Friday that Affleck's mother, Christopher Anne Boldt, was taken to a local Georgia hospital after she fell off a dock, injured her leg and needed stitches.
A second ambulance arrived at the guest check-in entrance of Affleck's residence around 8:45 pm on Saturday night, a source told Fox News Digital. The couple exchanged their vows that evening.

The unidentified male was then brought out to the ambulance before the vehicle departed. The condition of the man and the hospital to which he was taken is not currently known.
Sarah Hyland, Wells Adams
Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams finally tied the knot on a vineyard north of Santa Barbara, California in August. The couple’s wedding planning was interrupted several times due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In August 2021, Adams said he was "hoping" to get married next year after too many delays had postponed their nuptials. He joked to People magazine that he and Hyland were "gonna go to Vegas or the courthouse" if there were any more wedding setbacks.

"We were supposed to get married obviously last year, that didn't happen. We were supposed to get married this year, that didn't happen," he said.

"So now we are hoping next year, or we're gonna go to Vegas, or the courthouse, I don't know – well, we're not going to do those last two things, but I don't know. 2022 has got to be our year, right?!"
The couple enjoyed an outdoor ceremony at the trendy Sunstone Winery in Santa Ynez, where her "Modern Family" co-stars joined in the celebration, including Sofia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson (and his husband, Justin Mikita,) Nolan Gould, and Julie Bowen.
Hyland and Adams first met online in 2016 through back-and-forth Twitter chatter, but didn't meet face-to-face until 2017. They went public with their relationship shortly after.
Adams proposed to Hyland in 2019, and the couple initially planned to get married in August 2020, but were forced to change course due to the coronavirus. They rescheduled their wedding multiple times.
Several of Hyland’s "Modern Family" co-stars took to Instagram and shared intimate pictures from their picturesque wedding venue.
While Hyland found fame starring as the oldest daughter of the Dunphy clan, Hayley, on the popular ABC sitcom, Adams took a different route through the same network. His career began behind the microphone as a DJ in Nashville, Tennessee, but he was one of the men on a quest for JoJo Fletcher's heart on season 12 of "The Bachelorette."
While she gave her final rose to Jordan Rodgers and had a similar experience with wedding planning during a pandemic – even down to Rodgers and Fletcher getting married at Sunstone Winery in May – Adams has continued his relationship with the franchise, and became the bartender on "Bachelor in Paradise" last year.
Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker

Kardashian, 43, and Barker, 46, held a ceremony at a courthouse in Santa Barbara, California where they reportedly legally obtained a marriage license. The couple first became engaged in October when the "Blink 182" drummer proposed on the beach of Montecito, California surrounded by red roses and candles.
THE KARDASHIANS TAKE OVER ITALY AHEAD OF KOURTNEY AND TRAVIS' WEDDING
The duo, along with members of the Kardashian clan, jetted to Portofino, Italy in May where the couple said "I do" for the third time at a medieval-style castle. She walked down the aisle with her mother, Kris Jenner, by her side, and wore a cathedral-length veil adorned with the image of the Madonna and delicate floral appliques to match her scalloped hem dress, all of which was designed by legendary fashion house Dolce & Gabbana.
Kourtney and Travis were joined by their combined six children for the small ceremony. She shares Mason; 12, Penelope; 10; and Reign; 7, with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, who did not appear to be at the wedding despite a long history with the family and still starring on their Hulu reality show.
Barker's 16-year-old daughter, Alabama, and 18-year-old son, Landon, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, detailed nearly every step of the way to the altar while on the Italian holiday as the family joined forces to become one powerful unit. Barker also co-parents Moakler's daughter, Atiana De La Hoya, from Shanna's previous relationship with professional boxer Oscar De La Hoya.
Britney Spears, Sam Asghari
Britney Spears wed Sam Asghari her home in Thousand Oaks, California in June. The pair tied the knot in a star-studded affair with a host of A-list guests in attendance including Paris Hilton, according to People magazine. Her children were not at the nuptials.

He was later jailed at the Ventura County Jail and his bail was set at $22,500. He has been charged with felony stalking and has pleaded not guilty.
Spears and Alexander's marriage was annulled 55-hours after they tied the knot, which he claimed was forced by Spears' mother, Lynne, and Spears' management.
