The Surprise Wedding


Mark Zuckerberg’s recent surprise wedding to his girlfriend of eight years made headlines, but he is not the first to have a successful and sneaky ceremony. Other celebrities have used tactics like the bait and switch - giving the press one date and then getting hitched sooner - jetting off to private islands, or a pulling a Britney Spears and quickly eloping. Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams famously pulled off a surprise wedding by turning their rehearsal into the actual ceremony. Julia Roberts and Danny Moder had close friends and family join them to “celebrate Independence Day” and plenty of other couples have kept their plans to marry under wraps until the very last moment as well. Just a few are listed below:

Daniel Craig + Rachel Weisz
Jessica Alba + Cash Warren
Kenney Chesney + Renee Zellweger
Jennifer Lopez + Marc Anthony
Scarlett Johansson + Ryan Reynolds
Mariah Carey + Nick Cannon
