Ashley Biden, daughter of Vice President of the United States of America Joe Biden, wed Philadelphia surgeon Howard Krein on Saturday. The couple tied the knot at the St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church in Greenville, the same church where Ashley was baptized. The wedding ceremony combined Catholic (Ashley) and Jewish (Howard) traditions.

Joe Biden walked his daughter Ashley down the aisle on Saturday. The VP was very emotional about giving his youngest daughter away. He said to People Magazine, "I kept telling Ash, we've got to open up the church and practice walking up and down the aisle so I can handle it." The bride wore a dramatic mermaid gown with elaborate ruffles at the bottom, designed by Vera Wang.

The newlyweds, their family and friends celebrated the nuptials at the Biden's lakeside family home in Wilmington. The reception and family-style dinner were attended by some 200 guests.

Ashley, 30, and Howard, 45, have been a couple since the summer of 2010, when they were introduced to each other by Ashley's older brother Beau. Howard proposed in October 2011, after getting permission from proud father Joe. The VP said, "This is the right guy. And he's getting a helluva woman."

The couple is now off on their honeymoon. The destination was kept a surprise from Ashley by Howard, until Saturday evening. They will make their home in Philadelphia.

Will Kopelman and Drew Barrymore are husband and wife! The couple wed on Saturday at Drew's Montecito, California, home.

The newlyweds had an intimate ceremony that was "classic, simple, very pretty, garden-inspired". The wedding ceremony was organised by wedding planners Yifat Oren and Stefanie Cove, who also organised Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth's nuptials last March. A rabbi officiated the Jewish ceremony. Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, Jim Toth, Jimmy Fallon and Busy Philips witnessed the couple tying the knot.

Drew, 37, wed in a Chanel gown. Not very surprising, since Will's father, Arie Kopelman, is a former Chanel CEO.

Actress Drew and art dealer Will are expecting their first child later this year. This is Drew's third marriage.

Carter Oosterhouse and Amy Smart have tied the knot. The TV handyman, 35, and the actress, also 35, wed in Carter's hometown of Traverse City, Michigan. The couple had invited about 200 guests for their 'rustic' ceremony.

Country singer Chely Wright married her girlfriend Lauren Blitzer on Saturday. Chely and Lauren met last year, only two weeks after Chely publicly came out as gay, at Lauren's aunt's home in Connecticut. Both brides wore white wedding dresses to their ceremony, without veils, because "We like our hair too much" as Chely told People Magazine.

Chely, 40, and Lauren, a 30-year old GLBT Civil Rights activist, ditched the traditional wedding band for a deejay. They also did some compromising, it was "Lauren's idea. Not my influence!" vegetarian Chely said of serving New York's Blue Smoke barbecue food to their 200-plus guests.

Chely recently spoke to People Magazine and said about her coming out, "The freedom of being out and open about who I am allowed me to find and fall in love with Lauren – the most amazing woman I've ever known."

Congrats to Chely and Lauren!

UPDATE: A wedding photo of Chely and Lauren was published.

Lauren Bush and David Lauren celebrated their engagement last Saturday with an all-white themed engagement party in the Hamptons. The party of the granddaughter of former president George H.W. Bush and niece of former president George W. Bush and the son of designer Ralph Lauren was hosted by Hearst heiress Anne Hearst and her husband, Jay McInerney. Guests were all the Laurens, Rick and Kathy Hilton - parents of Paris and Nicky -, Lauren's mother Sharon Bush, and designers Cynthia Rowley and Douglas Hannant. The guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner and speeches by Sharon Bush and Rick Hilton.

The wedding will take place at the Colorado ranch of the Lauren family. Lauren's grandfather, George H.W. Bush is expected to attend. With so much 'Lauren' going on, what will Lauren Bush do with her surname? Stay Lauren Bush, become Lauren Lauren? "I think that it will be Lauren Bush-Lauren," she told People Magazine in April. "That's not final, but I think it's nice to have the same name as your husband. I am sort of old-fashioned that way." Whereas the name might change, choosing a wedding dress designer is a no-brainer, her future father-in-law, Ralph Lauren, will create a dress.

Eva Amurri talks wedding dress shopping

Eva Amurri © FlynetPictures.com
Eva Amurri has compared finding the wedding dress to finding the guy. The actress, daughter of Susan Sarandon and director Franco Amurri, is engaged to Fox Soccer Channel commentator Kyle Martino. Eva said to People Magazine, "I thought that I might like a certain one, but I wasn't really sold. Then I tried on my dress and I just fell in love with it. It's almost like dating. 'I think this is the guy,' and then you actually meet the guy and you're like, 'I don't know what I [was] thinking about that [other] guy."

Finding a wedding gown has proven to be the most difficult part of the wedding. Other wedding details have come a lot easier. "I don't labour over my decisions. Kyle and I are both like, 'Give us the three options and we'll knock it down to one.'"Eva and Kyle are usually on the same page, when it comes to decision making, "He's been a good mix of 'Do whatever you want' and 'I care.'"

Amy Smart and Carter Oosterhouse are getting married on September 10th and there's quite a lot of planning to do before that date arrives. However, Amy told Hollyscoop that her fiancé is "very hands on. He has definitely been my co-pilot with this. He has a good eye for things." Carter's good eye comes in handy, because "there's way more details than I ever expected."

The only thing Carter doesn't get to see? The dress. Amy says, "I’m getting married very soon. It's all picked out," but, "I’m not telling, I can't even tell my fiancĂ©, I can't tell anyone else. It’' really pretty its kind of right for where we are getting married."

Amy, 35, and Carter, 34, started dating last year in November and first stepped out together in January.

Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey © Jason Merritt/Getty
Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey got married earlier this month on Necker Island. We'll all be able to watch their wedding up close and personal in the TLC special Nick & Vanessa's Dream Wedding.

Vanessa, 30, has also taken to Twitter and has tweeted her top 10 wedding planning tips.

Tip1:Try on different styles of dresses. Even if u know what u want, it may surprise u. Go for it all & be girly! Most importantly, HAVE FUN

Tip 2: I Love a "little" splash of color! I had a beautiful bouquet of gloriosa's, BUT I didn't put my matron of honor in a fuchsia dress.

Tip 3: Listen to your groom & have elements of what "he" wants in the Wedding. After all, it's both of your day. Nick had great suggestions.

Tip 4: A welcome bag w/"personalized" goodies is always nice! We did beach towels w/their names embroidered, & all the beach essentials.

Tip 5: Make sure to take time before the wedding & spend it with ur fiancee. A night with a glass of wine, or a weekend away. #QualityTime

Tip 6: To save money: use venue's place settings & glassware, but we brought in our personalized linens and chargers for a more custom feel.

Tip 7:If you can, have multi-photographers. We loved Yitzhak Dalal, & he brought 2 others w/him. There's always more than one angle u want!

Tip 8: Consider weather when planning an outdoor ceremony. The ONE thing I regret is we didn't have fans or a.c. at the ceremony. #sweating

Tip 9: Do something special for ur fiancee b4 the ceremony, a gift, &/or a hand written card. Let them know how u feel & that u Love them!

Tip 10: HAVE FUN! Once it's the day of, try ur hardest not to let ANYTHING get in the way. You'll regret it if u obsess about small stuff!

Mike Tindall and Zara Philips are husband and wife

Mike Tindall and Zara Philips
Mike Tindall and Zara Philips's wedding was a private affair, nevertheless, since it was a royal wedding, many well-wishers had gathered outside of Canongate Kirk yesterday, to catch a glimpse of the wedding party. Mike and Zara did not disappoint the well-wishers, when they came out of the church as husband and wife, after a 45-minute ceremony, they recreated their own 'balcony-scene-kiss-minus-the-balcony'. The crowd was delighted. After the ceremony the wedding party headed to Holyroodhouse for the evening reception.

Reverend Neil Gardener wed the couple in the 17th century Canongate Kirk, the official kirk of the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Zara wore an ivory dress by Edinburgh-trained designer Stewart Parvin, a favourite designer of Queen Elizabeth. The gown had a chevron pleated bodice, that ended in inverted pleats on a dropped waist, thus creating a bell-shaped silhouette. It included a concealed structured corset, a short train and silk tulle straps that fell into a V-shape at the back. She wore it with a silk veil and The Meander Tiara, lent to Zara by her mother Princess Anne.The bridesmaids wore ivory dresses, the youngest bridesmaids' dresses had tulle skirts. The maid of honour wore a dove grey dress.

Zara arrived with her father, Captain Mark Philips, by car. He got out of the car first and opened the car door for his daughter. As they walked to the church, Zara briefly turned around and waved at the crowd. Then Zara and her father were greeted by Reverend Neil Gardner and went inside the 17th century church. Zara's elder brother Peter was an usher and greeted guests by the entrance of the Kirk.

Mike looked dapper in a black jacket, grey pinstriped trousers, a grey waistcoat, white shirt and grey tie. Mike seemed completely relaxed and smiled and waved at the photographers and the crowd.

The Earl and Countess of Strathearn
Among the first guests to arrive was Zara's mother, the Princess Royal, Princess Anne. Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, were also in attendance, as well as Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Queen Elizabeth, and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Duchess Catherine of Cambridge. The Earl and Countess of Strathearn, William and Kate's Scottish titles, looked wonderful. Kate wore a beautiful champagne-coloured embroidered coat over her dress, that was gorgeous enough to keep on all night. She paired the dress and coat with nude pumps and a hat with floral detail.

After the ceremony Zara and Mike posed for photographers outside the church, whilst the crowd cheered.


The reception took place at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen's official Scottish home. It is expected that best man Iain Balshaw has given his best man's speech there. Mike and Iain are both rugby players, having played together for the Gloucester and England team.

Zara is thought to be setting a royal precedent by not taking her husband's last name. Brides of the royal family have always taken the surnames of their spouses, be they royal or not. According to the Daily Mail  Zara is keeping her own surname based on the fact that "she wants to preserve her sporting persona and her business interests."

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries's wedding cake tasting session

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries © RAMY PHOTO
Last Friday Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries stopped by Hansen Cakes in L.A. for a wedding cake tasting session. Kim, who recently upped her exercise regime to be in killer shape for the wedding, made time - and calories - to find the perfect cake for the big day. Mum's the word on whether or not they've found the right cake, or that they'll go back for another tasting - I know which option I'd pick - however, their tasting sure looks fun!

A source confides in US Magazine and says that Kim stopped by Mark's Garden - a high-end florist in Sherman Oaks, California - to discuss flower arrangements. Something that the source couldn't say was which designer is creating Kim's dress. Kim and sister Khloe were spotted at Vera Wang's NYC store last month, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Khloe, who wore a Vera Wang on her wedding day, has said on the topic, "I hope she does [design Kim's wedding gown too]. Just because I love her, and I feel like when you think of weddings, you think of Vera Wang. It would be a perfect fit."

When the wedding invite  that recently surfaced is authentic, we'll have to wait until August 20th in order to find out what Kim will be wearing and what wedding cake the couple chose.
