Viva Las Vegas! While some celebrity weddings are all about opulence, some of our favorite stars have enjoyed a classic quickie wedding in Sin City.
Short and sweet, what’s more, romantic than a Las Vegas wedding? People from around the world have flocked to Sin City’s famous Little White Wedding Chapel, and even some of Hollywood’s hottest stars have exchanged their “I dos” in the desert.
While some (actually most) of the couples who’ve eloped in Vegas have not lasted, there are some that have weathered the test of time, such as Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. The couple, who shares three kids together, is considered one of the most unbreakable couples in Hollywood. In fact, they often reference their quickie nuptials on her daytime talk show when Mark fills in as co-host.
As for those who did not last? That list is a long one. Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck who got hitched in Vegas and later divorced.
