Celebrities are often expected to have big lavish weddings, but those who don’t like mixing the spotlight with their personal lives know that keeping their nuptials private in a grand church or great hotel is pretty hard. That’s why some opt to keep it very intimate and have the ceremony in the privacy of their own home.
Here are some of the famous couples who got married at home.

While not quite a down-to-earth affair seeing as how the home is an 18th- century mansion and the couple were surrounded by their A-list celebrity friends who flew out for the occasion, it still had a homey, simple feel.

This wasn’t just a wedding at their home, but a surprise for everyone involved.
