We Now Pronounce: The Most Extravagant Celebrity Weddings

PEOPLE MAGAZINE

Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel

After much speculation on when their exact wedding date would be, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel finally tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia, Italy, on Oct. 19. Believed to have cost upwards of $6.5 million, the ceremony included approximately 150 guests -- such as Jimmy Fallon, Andy Samberg, Timbaland and Beverly Mitchell -- who were pampered from beginning to end after they were flown over on private planes. The festivities kicked off with a beach bash, complete with fireworks and live music, followed by a sophisticated dinner in which guests feasted on fresh artisanal cheeses, local olives and wine. Both bride and groom got their attire custom made -- Jessica donned a light pink dress made by Giambattista Valli while Justin sported a silk Tom Ford tuxedo, which he helped design. The post-party lasted until 5 a.m. and the couple made sure that nobody ever went hungry, as they dined on everything from lobster to steak to sea bass. "We wanted to create a time for our family and friends to say goodbye to their lives and really feel like they were on vacation," said Biel...ahem, I mean Mrs. Timberlake, to People. It sounds like they definitely succeeded!
