7. Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, Canada
Few people saw it coming when sultry ScarJo and the Canadian hottie tied the knot in 2008. They chose a rather remote and rugged location near Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island for their secret ceremony. The area is known for its whale watching and wildlife, and the luxurious “glamping” Clayoquot Wilderness Resort was the perfect private setting to allude prying paparazzi. It’s a boatride or seaplane flight away from the mainland and couldn’t be more isolated. Despite the idyllic beginning, the two separated after two years and officially divorced in 2011. Not to worry, Ryan was married again by 2012 and Scarlett is now pregnant and engaged. Those Hollywood-types sure bounce back fast.
8. Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, France
It was no private affair when this desperate housewife got hitched to the French NBA player. Fans lined the streets and magazine photographers were encouraged to snap shots at the star-studded $1.5 million ceremony, reception and pre-wedding celebrations in July 2007. They chose the grand 12th century Cathedral Saint Germain l’Auxerrois in Paris to exchange vows in and dined with 250 of their closest friends at the 17th century Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte under a canopy of fireworks. However, it was a private affair that did them in when Tony was caught “inappropriately texting” a teammate’s wife in 2010. Here’s a tip: when weddings are more like PR stunts, it usually doesn’t bode well.
