What I find interesting is that the $6.5 million (or $12 million, depending on whom you ask) price tag included buying out an entire hotel for the guests plus paying nearby businesses to close. They did this just to throw the paparazzi off track. Smart. If they'd wanted to, though, they could have rented the entire country of Liechtenstein for less than that. Seriously, check it out: theguardian.com.

Elizabeth Taylor might be before your time, but she was an extremely successful actress and HIV/AIDS advocate. You've probably seen her perfume at the fragrance counter. I'm mentioning her here because she and her seventh husband did something a little different-they got married at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, with him in the wedding! Sure, it cost $4 million, but how many people can say they had their wedding at an estate with an amusement park and a zoo? What would have been really cool would be to have Jackson's chimpanzee Bubbles as the ring bearer. He's already got a tuxedo (see: mirror.co.uk). Oh, well.

I'm mentioning this low-key ceremony last because a) it's such a contrast to the other weddings on this list, and b) some of the things they did were just sweet. E! Online states that, while the wedding did take place at an estate in the south of France, it hosted only their closest friends and family. The best part for me is the dress-instead of thousands of dollars in diamonds like other celebrity brides, hers was decorated with reprints of drawings from the children! Their 11-year-old even baked the cake! You can read more about it here: eonline.com. We've all heard the phrase “Go big or go home.” As we can see here, many celebrities take this advice to heart. What about you? Which extravagant celebrity weddings have I missed? If you were a rich celebrity, what kind of wedding would you have? Also, I wonder if there are any celebrities who didn't have a wedding, but instead got married in secret. As #7 will tell you, not everyone wants the whole “dog-and-pony show.” Do you know of any?
