Everyone loves weddings, and celebrity weddings―full of spectacle and scandal―are the best of all. This amazing pictorial history of Hollywood matrimony brings us to hundreds of weddings, both on-screen and off, from the 1920s to today.

"When I was a little girl, I dreamt about two things: being a bride and being a movie star,” writes Sandy Schreier in the introduction to Hollywood Gets Married. Like many of us, Schreier grew up admiring the stars of her era, and she delighted in their weddings, both on-screen and off. Now, in a gorgeous and comprehensive pictorial history, she chronicles the glamour and the glitz of Hollywood nuptials. From Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier to Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett, from the original Father of the Bride to Four Weddings and a Funeral, Hollywood Gets Married takes us on a sentimental and humorous journey through the most memorable unions of the twentieth century.

With hundreds of carefully researched photographs and informative captions, Hollywood Gets Married provides an insider’s look at the behind-the-scenes details of movie and real-life weddings: descriptions of the costume designs, photography, bridesmaids’ dresses, food, and exploits of offscreen in-laws and wedding guests and, of course, the bride and groom.

Hollywood Gets Married collects in its pages the most unforgettable marriage moments of our time, the ones we love to watch again and again. No fan of movies―or weddings!―will want to be without this exciting and unique celebration of cultural history.
