Two of Hollywood’s most desirable leading men have been captured sharing their love for each other in the most magical of ways. At long last, the waiting is over – and what a ride it has been! With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, here’s a look back at one of the most iconic and unforgettable moments in cinematic history: the wedding of Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
The Actor’s Pre-Nup
While details of the marriage have been kept under wraps, it was made known to the press – including Vanity Fair – that the actors had decided to forego a traditional reception and tie the knot sooner rather than later.
The unusual choice was made after months of speculation regarding the nature of their relationship. It was reported that the on-screen chemistry between the Hollywood A-listers had stunned onlookers and led to the question: will they or won’t they?
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Taylor spoke about the decision making process that led to their unconventional choice. Here’s what he had to say:
“It wasn’t that we weren’t going to have a wedding. It’s that we were going to do it a little bit sooner than everyone else. Because, you know, we wanted to start our new family, and we wanted to do it properly. So we decided to get married in January, which is the same month that we started shooting. We wanted to do it as soon as possible, and we knew that a lot of people were going to be upset about it…We figured that people might not understand. We didn’t want to do it like this, but we didn’t want to disappoint anyone, either. So we decided to do it sooner rather than later.
A Wedding To Remember
Whether you’re a longtime fan or have only recently discovered the magic of Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, the opportunity to attend their wedding was not one to be missed. With nearly 200 guests in tow, the lucky few were treated to an unforgettable spectacle as the British actor and the Finnish-American actor exchanged vows amidst a swirl of rose petals, confetti and celebrity.
As one of Hollywood’s most historic and unforgettable weddings of the new year, here’s a look back at some of the gorgeous dresses worn by the beautiful ladies and the breathtaking gowns crafted for the male lead, Robert Pattinson.
The Biggest Wedding Trend Of All Time
Whether you call it The Wedding Industrial Complex or The Wedding Craze, one thing is clear: weddings have never been more popular. Why? Maybe it’s because marriage itself has never been more popular. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of 2016, there were 105.3 million married people in America – a 16.9% increase from 2000. It’s safe to assume that many of these newlyweds are celebrity couples, too.
While weddings are a reflection of the times we live in, they aren’t necessarily a cause. It could be that celebrities’ big weddings are a result of increased economic equality – or it could be that it’s just fashion’s latest obsession. Whatever the reason, the trend will surely continue.
From Bachelor Party To Honeymoon
For many of us, the dream honeymoon involves a relaxing vacation with your loved one followed by a trip to a luxury destination. For Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, though, their honeymoon involved a little more than a week on a beach with their 4.6 million followers. After spending a few days in Los Angeles, the newlyweds headed to New York City, where they were guests at the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards. There they were honored with a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series, TV Movie or TV Series for his role in THE CROWN.
With their busy schedules and hectic schedules, it’s no wonder that celebrities opt for less traditional wedding ceremonies and honeymoons. Sometimes it’s just a matter of saving money. Other times, it’s about expressing yourself artistically. Whatever the reason, as long as there are wedding fanatics, there will be celebrities who want to celebrate their special day in an unconventional way.
An Iconic Engagement
While many may still be reeling from the shock of Meghan Markle’s engagement to Prince Harry, it’s important to remember that this isn’t the first time that the world has seen this union. After months of speculation and a whirlwind romance, it was announced in September 2018 that Robert Pattinson would marry his longtime love, the French model, FKA-Sandra Romaine. The couple decided to keep their wedding small, private and under the radar to avoid any unnecessary media attention.
With wedding season upon us and the world’s attention focused on the celebrity marriage, now is the perfect opportunity to relive some of the most magical and unforgettable moments from this amazing love story.
