Alternative Bride

Mindy and Ben had two wedding days. The first, was their legal ceremony, at 30 Rockefeller Center in new York officiated by Hoda Kotb from The Today Show! The bride explained, "It was simply too cool of an opportunity to pass up! The people at the show took care of everything from the flowers to the dress, and it was a beautiful day. However, we only had three weeks notice that we'd been picked for it and since the show tapes in New York and we live in Chicago, we knew all of our friends and family would not be able to make it. So, on our first anniversary, we threw a groovy, carefree reception at a local vintage bowling alley."

There have been some classic alt celeb weddings over the years—Gwen Stefani's dip-dyed pink John Galliano dress changed my brain chemistry in 2002, and Avril Lavigne's black Monique Lhuillier in 2013 made me wish I'd been brave enough to wear black for my own wedding. SJP also wore black when she eloped with Matthew Broderick in 1997, and who can forget Britney's shotgun 55-hour marriage to Jason Alexander while wearing jeans and a baseball cap? Iconic behaviour.
