Celebrity Trend: Second Weddings

While many couples are scaling back on their wedding budgets due to a suffering economy, Hollywood is proving once is just not enough and throwing multiple extravagant weddings.

Earlier this month, Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen and New England Patriot's Quarterback Tom Brady wed for the second time at Bundchen’s Costa Rica home. Their first wedding was in February, but this second wedding was even more lavish with three days of pre-wedding celebrations.

Actress Salma Hayek and billionaire husband Francois-Henri Pinault re-tied the knot last week in a star-studded Italy wedding at the Opera house. The two first married in a civil ceremony on Valentine’s Day in Paris.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt also decided the best things come in twos and had a formal wedding and reception in Pasadena, California. They originally eloped in Mexico, but decided they wanted to include family and friends for the formal affair. (By the way, loved her dress.)

While we don't think this trend will catch on with the normal public because of cost, I have to admit we love the idea. My husband and I plan to renew or vows in the future, but unlike celebrities, it is a personal choice to actually renew them by ourselves, without guests. We figured it would be a special moment between us, probably in another country or on a beach somewhere. Besides,we threw our lavish party for friends and family the first time!
