Actress Brittany Snow gave fans an inside look at her pre-quarantine March wedding to Tyler Stanaland. The Pitch Perfect star shared some sweet words about her new husband, and how lucky she feels to have married him before quarantine came into full effect in the United States.

“In early March, before we knew how much we’d miss hugs and live in our sweatpants, I got to marry my favorite person,” she wrote on Instagram. “The whole world shut down a few days later & we were stunned at the timing. We knew we felt incredibly lucky to have found each other but we had no idea how lucky it would be to get married right before a monumental time in our history.”

For their big day, Snow wore a long sleeve, lace Jonathan Simkhai wedding gown with a plunging back. Her hair was styled in a low bun with floral accessories. She changed into an off-the-shoulder Galia Lahav dress for the reception.

She explains that the day was full of mistakes, yet it was still the best day.

“Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong that day… but it was absolutely and impossibly perfect. I knew on that day, more than ever before, there was no one else I’d rather hold my hand while in the middle of a (life) hurricane. I love you @tylerstanaland. You’re my dream come true.”

“I know the world is a crazy place right now but I hope we can continue to celebrate love whenever and wherever we can.”

Serena Williams is a force to be reckoned with. The iconic tennis player has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles, the most by any player in the Open Era. She also formally held the Women’s Tennis Association title for World number 1 female tennis player on eight separate occasions between 2002 and 2017.

Williams and Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, met by chance in May 2015 while in Rome. Williams was dining with friends at the Cavalieri Hotel when Ohanian sat down at the table next to the group.

Later that same month, Williams invited Ohanian to watch her play in the French Open after she performed poorly at the Italian Open. He flew to Paris to watch her, and they spent six hours together prior to the tournament walking around the city and falling in love. The pair went Instagram official over a year later in November 2016.

Two and half years later, the couple are still going strong. Daughter Olympia has become a social media star in her own right as she has her own Instagram account (run by her parents, of course).

In January 2020, Williams won the ASB classic, her first singles title since 2017. Ohanian is a large proponent for paternal leave and runs a podcast called ‘Business Dad’ where he interviews fellow celebrity fathers.

The wedding of the King of rock ‘n roll, Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley has gone down in history for its unusual nature. We take a look at this infamous couple’s walk down the aisle.

Presley met his future wife, Priscilla Ann Beaulieu in 1959 when she was only 14 years old and he was 24. At the time, Elvis was serving in the army and Priscilla’s family lived on the base as her father was an Air Force Captain.

After Elvis returned to his estate in Memphis, the pair kept in touch until Priscilla’s parents allowed her to move there when she was 17. According to Country Living, her parents only allowed it on the condition that they would eventually get married.

The pair became engaged in 1966 when Elvis proposed to Priscilla with a three and a half carat diamond ring, with 20 smaller diamonds surrounding it. It is rumoured that, at the time, Elvis did not want to get married. Rather, he went through with it as he felt pressure from Prescilla’s father to do so.

This wedding has gone down in history as one of the most-talked-about ceremonies in the 20th century.

The wedding was organised by Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’s manager. He gathered everyone to Palm Springs for the big day. “Just after midnight on May 1, [1967],” wrote Elvis’s school friend George Klein in a book, “the wedding party snuck out the back door of Elvis’s Palm Springs home, climbed over the backyard wall, and got into a car to head to the airport. Elvis had been loaned Frank Sinatra’s private jet for the occasion.”

Another plane brought the guests, and they arrived at the Aladdin Hotel where they exited through the back to ensure they weren’t seen.

Elvis and Priscilla made it official early in the morning after they were given their marriage license at the Las Vegas Courthouse.  A supreme court judge married the pair in a suite at the Aladdin, and the room was filled with flower petals and candles. There were only 14 people present.

“My wedding was very unusual,” Priscilla once said. “It was the people closest to us, and private, and that’s how we wanted it. We didn’t want a fan club. We didn’t want a circus.”

Priscilla’s sister was the maid of honour, and two members of Elvis’s entourage, Marty Lacker and Joe Esposito,  stood as the co-best men.

After their intimate wedding, they held a press conference and then threw a breakfast buffet for 100 guests. They served roast suckling pig, oysters Rockefeller, lobster, Champagne, and Southern fried chicken.

They had a six-tier sponge cake, with apricot marmalade filling and liqueur-flavoured cream for dessert.

In 1968, the couple welcomed their first and only child together, Lisa-Marie. Their marriage struggled after both had affairs, and Elvis’s touring took him away from home for extended periods of time. They separated in 1972 and formalised their divorce in 1973 after six years of marriage
