There’s been a current explosion of celebrity weddings. Having a hard time keeping up with them all? No worries! Engagement 101 has you covered. Here’s a rundown of all the latest celebrity wedding headlines.
Katy Perry bump heads over wedding venue ideas
The pair got engaged late last year and are already diving head first into the busy wedding planning process. Unlike most groom, Russell Brand has been chipping in his ideas for the wedding, but unfortunately Katy Perry keeps shooting his wedding venue ideas down, according to The Mirror.
His first idea? An exotic wedding in India. Perry nixed that idea saying she wanted to get married closer to their home in L.A.
Second idea? Brand suggested a rock n’ roll themed wedding at one of the studios at Sunset Marquis Hotel. But Perry once again shot down the idea. According to a source, Perry is adamant about getting married in a church because of her uber-religious parents.
But hey, at least he’s trying.
Celebrity wedding songs
InTouch had a cute feature last week on celebrity weddings and the couples’ romantic first dances. Included in the piece were reality TV star Kendra Wilkinson and football player Hank Baskett who danced to George Strait’s “I Cross My Heart,” and Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom‘s televised wedding where they danced to Babyface’s version of “You Are So Beautiful.”
The most unusual wedding song choice came from singer Pink and Carey Hart who chose the song “Sweet Jane” from the the soundtrack of the film Natural Born Killers. “We love Mickey and Mallory,” Pink says of the homicidal main characters. “They’re our inspiration.”
Hilary Duff says no to “cupcake” wedding dresses
Hilary Duff, who just recently got engaged to hockey player Mike Comrie, told Usmagazine.com that she doesn’t want a big, floofy wedding dress.
“I want it to be girlie and kind of on the bigger side but not too overwhelming because I’m so small,” she said. “I mean people would be like: ‘Whoa, cupcake!”
As for her wedding date, Duff says she’s keeping it a secret.
Simon Cowell wants Elton John to be his wedding singer
American Idol judge Simon Cowell, who spent weeks being vague about his recent engagement to girlfriend Mezhgan Hussainy, wants Sir Elton John to sing at his wedding, a source told PopEater.
“Elton would be the perfect choice,” said the source. “Unlike others, he is brilliant live. Plus, Simon’s dear mum and older relations know all his songs.”
I guess American Idol rejects are too good for him.
