Usually when a couple is planning their wedding, they want everyone to know about it. You want your loved ones to save the date and make sure they attend your special day - while it's also just a lot of fun to tell people the good news. However, when you're rich and famous things work out a bit differently.
With the amount of people out there, both fans and non-fans, who want to know about your personal life, it can be hard to keep the wedding day just about the two of you with photographers lurking in the bushes. So in the end it can be easier to make it a secretive event, as these celebrity couples managed to do.
