The Best Celebrity Weddings So Far In 2023

We love a good wedding, especially a celebrity one. As these stars tend to have no shortage of money, they can afford to splash the cash on a lavish ceremony with expensive outfits and the most stunning decorations. Of course, not every star wants to go all out on their wedding, preferring to keep things simple and remember what the day’s all about. However, for the most part, a celebrity wedding is quite an extravagant affair.

Now that we’re around the halfway mark of 2023, we’ve already seen a ton of stars walk down the aisle and say, “I do.” With so many couples tying the knot, it’s hard to whittle them down to the best of the bunch. Then again, there have been some weddings this year that really left a mark on us, so how can we not put them at the top of the list?

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have enjoyed two weddings in 2023

You might think that Simone Biles would have nerves of steel, given that she’s performed exceptional gymnastic routines in front of millions in the past. However, she’s only human, which means she gets just as nervous as anyone else. That includes when she’s about to marry the love of her life, which she’s done twice this year. After an intimate courthouse ceremony in April, she held a lavish ceremony at the Umi Terrace of the Nobu Las Cabos in Mexico in May. Surrounded by white and gold decor, she walked down the aisle to a live cellist while dressed in a custom Galia Lahav Gimaya gown. Biles actually had four wardrobe changes throughout the night, while her husband, Jonathan Owens, kept things simple but elegant in his tan suit and bowtie.

Sia Furler and Dan Bernad opted for a destination wedding in Italy

Sia usually isn’t one for showing her face. However, there were no long wigs or giant hats covering her beautiful visage when she tied the knot this year. The singer got married in May 2023 to Dan Bernad, with the pair choosing Portofino in Italy as the setting for their nuptials. They got married at Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s Villa Olivetta, where Sia looked a vision in her three-quarter sleeve lace mermaid gown. The sheer veil and delicate detailing on the dress really made the outfit shine, while her new husband matched her perfectly in his light tuxedo. Although there were apparently only four guests to watch the pair get married, the duo didn’t hold back on the decor, which included gold tables, tons of candles, and an iron gazebo covered with flowers.

Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton had several big faces at their quiet wedding

It feels like only yesterday that people were questioning Lukas Gage’s orientation, with some even claiming that the actor isn’t part of the LGBTQ community. However, at the end of April, he silenced those critics once and for all when he revealed that he had tied the knot with Chris Appleton. While the wedding might have felt like it came out of nowhere, given they’d only just confirmed their relationship, they made sure it was quite the affair. For one, they had Kim Kardashian officiate the ceremony, with Shania Twain later serenading the couple. The couple chose Las Vegas as the destination for their fabulous wedding, which also saw the pair ditch the traditional suits for leather pants, faux fur coats, and boots. The wedding definitely made quite the statement and we love that for them.

Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge enjoyed a star-studded destination wedding

For years, it was Sofia Richie’s sister Nicole who attracted all the attention between them. However, now is the younger model’s time to shine, with this year a particularly special one for her. After all, it was only a few months ago that she tied the knot in one of the best celebrity weddings so far in 2023. She and Elliot Grainge became husband and wife in the South of France at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes. As you might hope for a celebrity wedding, the guest list was stacked with notable names, including Cameron Diaz, Paris Hilton, Sofia’s sister, and their respective husbands. Her father, Lionel Richie, was also there and walked his daughter down the aisle in her custom Chanel gown. The ceremony was followed by poolside dining and music from a jazz trio that brought a perfect end to the ceremony.

Celebrity weddings don’t always last, but we hope that it really is a case of everlasting love for these couples. For most of them, it’s their first time tying the knot, and as incredible as their nuptials were, we don’t need to see a repeat of them with someone else years down the line. We’d much rather they be happy with each other until the very end.
