Are Celebrity Weddings Out of Control???
Eva Longoria was just married in a castle in France where all of her “closest” friends and family were in attendance. Tom and Katie reportedly spent millions on their nuptials. And now, it appears that Salma Hayek is planning three separate weddings. One will be held in Mexico, another in Paris, and the third in LA. It appears that the guest list will be the same for each wedding and could include about 300 people!
Seeing these stars get married makes the average wedding look like peanuts even when A LOT of money has been spent. To the average couple, a $30,000 wedding is a lot of money. To these celebrities, $30,000 will barely pay for the wedding gown alone. Is their wedding about their love and commitment to one another or to show the world just how much money they have to burn? Is it becoming a competition?
There are definitely varying opinions on celebrity weddings. Some people (like me) consider them to be outrageous. Why spend so much money on one day? There are people all over the world that could use that money for food, health care, housing, medicine, and even clean water to drink! How is it that they can be so selfish? Then there are other people (like me) that enjoy seeing these weddings. It is fun to take a peek into what it must be like to live like a millionaire. While most of their marriages will end in divorce, their wedding will still have been a fairy tale. That fairy tale is what we average people can only aspire to ever be part of. So as you can see, my opinions are quite conflicted.
How do you feel about the most recent celebrity weddings? Do you think that these couples should be spending such an obscene amount of money simply because they can? Do you think that they deserve their fairy tale because they can afford it? Do you think it is getting ridiculous? Give us your opinion. Whether you are spending $5,000 or $500,000 on your wedding, we want to know how you feel about celebrity weddings!

Most of these celebrity weddings are a waste of time and money. I think they do it just for the publicity, and not for love. Most don’t even last a year, it’s actually kind of funny to she them spend all that money and then see them fail. I might sound harsh, but money isn’t everything.

I would love to be as rich as all those celebrity’s out there, but I’m not. Could you imagine getting and buying anything you want, it sure would be fun. I can see why celebrity’s spend the money they do on thier “short lived” weddings, if I had it, I definatley would go all out. They have the money to do what ever they want, and it doesn’t seem to stress them out like normal everyday people. If I was very rich, I would have to say I would have a “Celebrity” wedding too.

I’d be married in a castle like Eva Longoria if I had the money. I’d spend millions on my wedding if I had it to spend. These celebrities have the money to spend, so why not. They are enjoying their life to the fullest and spending money they can afford.

I read similar article also named Are Celebrity Weddings Out of Control???, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me
