9. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, USA
Technically this wasn’t a destination wedding, but it was a lavish back-yard production at J-Lo’s palatial Beverly Hills home. The invitations were for a simple afternoon party, but the bride and groom surprised their guests by exchanging vows in the middle of the fete. It was all the more surprising because Marc’s divorce to Miss Universe was finalized just four days prior, the wet ink no-doubt smearing the inside of his tux pocket. Then again, nothing should be surprising considering Jennifer’s track record with men – married twice before with a series of high profile relationships and engagements in between (remember Beniffer?). After having twins and a Vegas vow renewal ceremony in 2008, the Latino lovebirds announced their “shocking” separation in in 2011. Jen quickly rebounded with a back-up dancer 18 years her junior, but recently announced the end of that two year union too. Sigh.
10. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Italy
Okay, so they’re not divorced yet, but with her last marriage ending 72 days in, it’s anyone’s guess how long this union of egos will last. In case you’re living under a rock, Kimye made it official on May 24, 2014 in Tuscany. It was a lavish ceremony at Florence’s 16th-century Forte di Belvedere, serenaded by Andre Bocelli and John Legend. They rented out the Palace of Versailles, no less, for the pre-wedding dinner. Estimates have pegged this as a $30 million shindig – just a tad more than her $10 million televised wedding/PR move to Kris Humphries two years ago that was mostly covered by sponsorship deals. Here’s hoping third time’s a charm for Ms. Kardashian.
