The flowers are blooming, the sky is a brilliant blue most days, and the tanning beds are in full swing. Yes, ’tis the season of cake cutting, bachelorette parties, and honeymooners. The approaching wedding season has made us pause to look back at some of the more famous couples in history.It’s easy to get caught up in the beauty that love and a lot of money can create on a special day.

Famous weddings can be rather exciting, and royal weddings seem to come straight from a fairy tale. Will and Kate’s wedding is one I loved, and I still enjoy pictures of the wedding or of the royal baby bump. However, we seem to forget that even a famous marriage requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice, and sometimes they don’t always work out, as is manifest by celebrities today.

Many like to give Kim Kardashian a hard time for her 72 day marriage trial, but did you know there have been even shorter Hollywood weddings? Eddie Murphy was married for two weeks, and Drew Barrymore for 17 days. Zsa Zsa Gabor divorced her eighth husband a day after the ceremony because he was boring.

Although the rich and famous hold a great deal of power, even their weddings days can experience a few hiccoughs. Napoleon Bonaparte for example, the man who wished to take over the world, arrived two hours late for his marriage to Josephine.

Josh Kelly married Katherine Heigl in 2008. Days before the wedding, Josh went for a ski trip where he ran into a tree and ended up with a huge cut on his nose. The blushing bride refused to speak to him until after the ceremony. They are still happily married though, with Photoshop to thank for usable wedding pictures.

With the approach of the wedding season, we decided to pull out some of the classy photos we have of famous weddings. Enjoy the grandeur of 20 of the most celebrated couples on their happy day. Find many more couples back at Newscom.
