The world was shocked when Hollywood’s golden couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston called time on their marriage. It was all going so well for the down-to-earth Friends star who’d managed to bag one of the world’s sexiest men. They tied the knot in a sunset ceremony in Malibu surrounded by 200 guests in the summer of 2000. Despite splashing out a £1 million on the wedding and Jen vowing to always make Brad’s favourite banana milkshake, they announced their split in 2005 after 5 years of marriage.

As high profile celebrity couple Katie Price and Peter Andre play out a very messy break-up in front of the media, we take a look back to happier times. After falling in love on reality TV show “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” the pair wed in an outrageous ceremony in 2005 which was later televised. The bill for this “fairytale” wedding topped £1 million and they also renewed their vows in private ceremony in South Africa in 2008. Despite these displays of undying love, Andre announced he was leaving the glamour model in May 2009 after 3-and- a-half years of marriage.

Odd couple Liza Minnelli and David Guest treated us to one of the most extravagant weddings of all time. After dating for only 6 months, the pair tied the knot in a bizarre ceremony which saw Elizabeth Taylor as the Maid of Honour and Michael Jackson as Best Man, and no fewer than 1,000 guests. The lavish affair set them back a whopping £3.4 million but their marriage lasted just over a year.

Marriages which have so far lasted the distance include Hollywood royalty Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas. Despite the 25 year age gap, this couple are still going strong after tying the knot in 2000 at The New York Plaza in a £1.5 million ceremony.

Surprisingly the WAG couples fair pretty well. Power couple David and Victoria Beckham spent only £500,000 on their 1999 wedding and will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary this year. Cheryl and Ashley Cole spent the same amount when they wed in 2006 and despite a rough patch where Ash was caught cheating, the couple are back on track and happily married. The big spenders are Colleen and Wayne Rooney who rocked up a bill of £5 million for their exclusive Italian wedding in 2008. Colleen’s dress cost over £200,000 and Rooney’s favourite band The Stereophonics were hired to perform. A year on and the young couple are expecting their first child together.
