Just two days before his 33rd birthday, Black Eyed Peas band member Taboo married his girlfriend, Jaymie Dizon, at St. Andrews Catholic Church in Pasadena, California. And, you know how you have to decide which of your work friends are invited to your wedding? Taboo had to make those kinds of choices regarding his co-workers -- his Black Eyed Peas bandmates.

Fortunately, the group is really tight, and apl.de.ap and will.i.am both served as groomsmen for Taboo. The only remaining Pea, Fergie, was there as a guest, accompanied by her fiance, Josh Duhamel.

Now that members of the group are all pursuing solo projects, we wondered whether they were still as close as they were a couple of years ago, but this seems to show that there's no doubt. Here's wishing Taboo and Mrs. Taboo much happiness and many years of fabulous costume changes. Though the rapper does tend to go with some funky, different looks on stage -- see the gallery -- he looked absolutely dapper for the nuptials. Still, we'd LOVE to see what went down on the dance floor at the reception!

Shortly after taking out a marriage license with his very pregnant fiancee, Ethan Hawke has, once again, gone off the market. His rep has confirmed that the actor married Ryan Shawhughes in a private ceremony last month.

The wedding took place in New York, and was very intimate, but no other details have been given out. A source close to the couple has said, however, that they're likely to have a larger celebration, including all their friends and family, after the baby is born (Ryan is due with the couple's first child, a daughter, later this summer).

The wedding news comes not long after the announcement that Ethan's ex-wife and mother of his two children, Uma Thurman, is engaged to Swiss financier Arpad Busson (and sporting a rock that's too big to "fit through the sleeve of her coat").

Apparently, there is someone who can have-a de Mango -- Chris Kattan married model Sunshine Tutt last Saturday in an environmentally friendly wedding set at California's Yosemite Valley.

The couple has been engaged for a year and a half -- Chris proposed to Sunshine on Christmas Eve, 2006, at her grandmother's home. Their wedding was green right from the get-go, with invitations made of flower seed paper that the guests could plant in their gardens.



Some of Chris' former Saturday Night Live castmates were on hand to witness the nature-inspired nuptials, including Will Farrell, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, and Amy Poehler. The affair has been described as environmentally friendly, but what we really want to know is what went down on the dance floor!

Colin Farrell has been keeping a pretty low-key profile lately, but has he kept a major event under wraps as well?

The smoke-ensconced 32-year-old actor has been seen on several occasions wearing what looks like a wedding ring on his all-important finger, sparking rumors that he has secretly married his dewy sweetheart, 22-year-old Muireann McDonnell. In fact, he was recently spotted at an airport, smoking (of course) and talking on the phone. When he saw the photographers, he awkwardly hid his left hand, adding some credence to the rumors.

It doesn't look like he's currently working as a married character in any films, so it seems rather possible that the ring is the real thing.
Country singer Sara Evans married former University of Alabama quarterback Jay Barker last Saturday in an intimate ceremony on a farm near her family's home in Tennessee. She told People magazine, "It was a fairy-tale wedding."

Sara wore an ivory Vera Wang gown and was walked down the aisle by her three children: son Avery, eight years old, and her daughters Olivia, who is five, and Audrey, who is three. Jay was also by his children: nine-year-old Andrew, eight-year-old Braxton, and his six-year-old twins, Sarah Ashlee and Harrison.

Over twenty years ago, a now infamous Newsweek article discussed the likelihood of single women finding a mate. The cover headline read "The Marriage Crunch," and there was a downward sloping line graph below it showing a single woman's chances of getting married. It didn't look good.

Fortunately, it was wrong.

A study by demographers at Harvard and Yale was behind the story (and subsequent discussion by every single woman who hoped for marriage). The story itself said that "white, college-educated women born in the mid-1950s who are still single at 30 have only a 20 percent chance of marrying. By the age of 35 the odds drop to 5 percent." You might have heard it said that a single 40-year-old woman is more likely to be killed by a terrorist than to ever marry -- this study and story is where that came from.

Las Vegas is known for a lot of things -- gambling, partying, drinking, shows -- but weddings are right there at the top. And, celebrity weddings in Las Vegas are always good for a headline or two.

While some celebrities chose Vegas as a wedding location because that's where they lived or because they wanted a destination to which friends and family could come and have a great time, Las Vegas is chosen just as often as a spur-of-the-moment spot to get hitched (often owing to those other things for which Vegas is so famous, like the partying and the drinking). Click the Next button to find out which celebrity got married in the chapel shown above!


We thought Beyonce and Mariah Carey were secretive about their nuptials, but they don't even hold a candle to newlyweds Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, who made their relationship legal on Monday. Her publicist confirmed the marriage rumor yesterday. However, not only were they secretive leading up to it, but after the fact as well. Jessica's brother is rumored to have found out about it when he was contacted by a gossip publication.

The couple swapped vows at the Beverly Hills courthouse. Cash wore a white shirt and brown pants, and Jessica donned a long, blue dress and had her hair pulled back. They said their "I dos" about 40 minutes after applying for their marriage license. Their only witness was the one provided by the court.

Jessica and Cash broke up for a short time last year, then got back together, and in December they announced their engagement and Jessica's pregnancy, not necessarily in that order. Their bundle of joy should be coming along in a month or so.
Cynthia Nixon never thought much about getting married, saying, "I always avoided marriage in the past and was always very wary of it. I felt like it was potentially a trap." However, it seems she's seeing marriage in a different light these days.

Nixon has a fairly interesting past regarding her relationships. She was involved with her male ex-partner, Danny Mozes, from 1988 until 2003. A year later, it was reported that she had been involved with education activist Christine Marinoni, for close to a year.

Part of what Nixon finds somewhat appealing about marriage now, other than the fact that she now has a partner who is interested in it, is that it would be kind of an act of rebellion. She currently resides in New York with Marinoni and her two children from her relationship with Mozes, and says that if gay marriage becomes legal, they'd probably do it.

It appears that Jessica Simpson isn't too thrilled about the possibility of her little sister, Ashlee, being hitched while Jessica is still unmarried. And so, as is the normal response, Jess has taken to pointing out rings she likes to her boyfriend of six months or so, Cowboys QB Tony Romo -- fairly understandable, we think. However, reports say she's doing it in front of his friends. That's a little much.



Actually, it seems possible that, if Tony doesn't come up with a ring soon, the elder and bustier Simpson sis might just do the proposing herself, since "he can't say no to her." We're not so sure about that -- Jessica might be an strong, independent women (maybe), but she's kind of a traditional Southern girl at heart, and we think she'll hold out for the romantic proposal on bended knee from Tony.



What do you think? Who will make it down the aisle first? Be sure to cast your vote in the poll!

Who'll get down the aisle first?

Jason Biggs, who you probably remember as the guy who, uh, really liked apple pie in the American Pie movies, got married last week in a totally private ceremony at Los Angeles' City Hall. Not even the couple's family was invited in order to completely minimize the stress of getting married.

The 30-year-old actor and his wife, actress Jenny Mollen, 27, have been together for nine months. They met on the set of My Best Friend's Girl, a Kate Hudson movie that's due out in September.

No report on whether they opted for wedding cake or pie to celebrate.
We aren't the least bit ashamed to admit that we ABSOLUTELY didn't see this one coming -- Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon eloped and are married! Reportedly, a source close to the couple confirmed the marriage to Latina.com.

Mariah and Nick got hitched yesterday, in an "impulsive" small island wedding, attended by just a few of their close friends, including rapper and Mariah BFF, DaBrat.

We reported just a couple of days ago that the couple might be engaged, but we weren't holding our breath since Nick's five month engagement to Victoria's Secret model Selina Ebanks went belly-up not too long ago. In fact, there are rumors that Mariah's engagement ring was actually the same one Nick used to propose to Selina, in which case we're giving this relationship about a minute before they opt for an equally impulsive divorce. If that's not the case, we'll give it an hour. Though, maybe they're happy and all of this isn't quite as crazy as we think it is ...
As soon as you have that shiny ring on your left ring finger, you'll also have a few (dozen) decisions to make. From what kind of wedding dress you see yourself gliding down the aisle in to whether you should have an open or cash bar. Until the moment you say "I do" you and your husband-to-be will be making choices. Most of these decisions will be fun and each will lead you to the beautiful wedding of your dreams, but none of them are as important as the first one you'll make: where to tie the knot?

Destination weddings are a rising and popular trend in the wedding industry. It's appealing to offer your guests (and yourselves) a vacation in addition to your wedding. And, it has to be said: destination weddings make for incredible pictures.

But before you make the decision to get married away from your hometown, here are a few things to consider. Questions, when answered honestly, that will make it rather easy to decide between your figurative backyard and a fun destination away from home.

Anna Kournikova is a lot of things -- tennis star, gorgeous model and spokesperson, and triathlete (sort of) to name a few. But, as she announced earlier this week, there is one thing she never plans to be -- a wife.

Rumors were abundant that Kournikova and her boyfriend of six years or so, Enrique Iglesias, were engaged late last year when she was spotted sporting a diamond dazzler on her all-important finger. In fact, many suspected the couple had secretly tied the knot, but that doesn't appear to be true, especially after what Kournikova had to say earlier this week.

Well, our invitation must've been lost in the mail, because Beyonce and Jay-Z were wed yesterday and we weren't there. Honestly, we were hoping for a bit more hoopla and build up, but, apparently the musically talented lovebirds didn't think so. Hmph.

Anyway, the couple got married in a small ceremony in New York, where they had taken out a marriage license earlier in the week. Right after the vow-swap, Mr. and Mrs. Z held a party on the roof of Jay-Z's Tribeca loft. Beyonce's mom, dad, and sister were in attendance, along with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams (from Destiny's Child), and the couple's pal Gwyneth Paltrow.

Congratulations to the couple, but until we see pictures, we're holding on to our gift. So there.
