The pair tied the knot at the Sugar Beach resort in St. Lucia, in front of Emily Blunt, Chris Hemsworth, Ben Affleck and Jimmy Kimmel.

Celebdom’s coolest rock couple, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale married in a lavish London ceremony back in 2002. Then, two weeks later, they took their wedding party State-side with an equally plush event in LA, where Gwen got to wear her custom-made pink and white John Galliano for Dior gown again.

The original vow-renewing couple du jour, Seal and Heidi Klum, renewed their wedding vows every anniversary with a themed ceremony. In 2009, the pair went for a retro event, with Seal sporting a mullet and Heidi with corn-rows. Sadly, it didn't last, and the couple split in 2012.

The sultry Jennifer Lopez and snake-hipped Marc Anthony celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary in 2010 with a renewal of vows ceremony in their LA estate. The couple had a stylish colour scheme of black, chocolate brown and white, while guests enjoyed martinis at the specially-erected bar. Marc joked: "We realised the bets in Vegas [on how long we'd last] stopped at five years, so we [were] really looking forward to this one!" Someone made a lot of money because they broke up in 2011.
Big PicturesScarlett Johansson & Ryan Reynolds
Scarlett Johansson and he of heavenly bod, Ryan Reynolds put split rumours firmly to rest by sending out ‘save the date’ cards for a commitment ceremony, set to coincide with their second wedding anniversary. “Like their wedding, it's going to be an intimate ceremony with only a handful of family members and close friends.” But they split soon after.

Fergie was said to be shattered when a stripper from Atlanta claimed to have had an affair with her man. But the couple fronted out the rumours, and silenced their critics with a second wedding, less than a year after their first. Transformers star Josh Duhamel surprised his Black Eyed Pea with a private ceremony on a Santa Barbara cliff overlooking the ocean. Just the two of them and a minister were present.
Rex FeaturesVictoria & David Beckham
Romantic David Beckham surprised his wife with a second wedding at their home, Beckingham Palace, in 2006. The footballing hottie got down on one knee again, before presenting Victoria Beckham with a specially-made white gown. Their two eldest sons were pageboys, and Posh and Becks completed their celebration with matching tattoos.
PA PhotosTori Spelling & Dean McDermott
Dispelling all rumours that home-life might be far from sweet, Hollywood royalty Tori Spelling and actor Dean McDermott renewed their wedding vows in May 2010, at their Beverly Hills pad. As a tribute to their Fijian wedding four years previously, the pair renewed their vows in a sandbox, and then washed their wedding rings in buckets containing Pacific Ocean water. All might not be happy in paradise as the pair are thought to be estranged.
PA PhotosSalma Hayek & Francois Henri-Pinault
Just two months after their romantic, Valentine’s Day, Parisian wedding, Salma Hayek and her CEO hubby Francois Henri-Pinault retied the knot in a lavish, star-studded ceremony in Venice. The couple’s 19-month-old daughter, Valentina made her acting debut as flower girl to a tough audience that included Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Ed Norton and Bono.
PA PhotosBritney Spears & Kevin Federline
After almost two years of marriage, and just weeks after the birth of son number two, Britney Spears and K-Fed reportedly headed to Maui for wedding number two. However, just two months later, the honeymoon was over, and Britney filed for divorce from Kevin, unbelievably, just two years after they began dating! Talk about the terrible ‘twos’!
PA PhotosMadonna & Guy Ritchie
One sure fire way to silence the critics? Renew your wedding vows. That’s what reports claimed Madonna and Guy Ritchie did at a private Kabbalah ceremony in August 2008, amidst speculation that their marriage was over. However, not even the Jewish faith could save this match made in Mayfair, and the pair officially announced their split two months later.
PA PhotosPink & Carey Hart
“I guess I just lost my husband, I don’t know where he went,” sang Pink in September 2008 [So What], but just eight months later, the couple had not only reconciled, they renewed their wedding vows too, in a private, sunset ceremony at their Californian home. The majority of Pink’s previous album, Funhouse, was written about their split. Awkward.
PA PhotosPeter Andre & Katie Price
The reality TV match made in heaven… Or hell, as it may seem now. Katie Price and Peter Andre renewed their vows in South Africa in September 2008 - three years after their lavish (read ‘bonkers’) fairytale wedding - again, with the cameras rolling. They were filmed bickering before and after the ceremony, and just eight months later, the fairytale was over.
PA PhotosDavid Duchovny & Tea Leoni
Californication hottie and his actress wife Tea retied the knot following a brief split, after 12 years of marriage. David Duchovny was treated for sex addiction during their separation, but the split reignited that familiar spark and the pair celebrated their reconciliation with matching wedding band tattoos.
Rex FeaturesLiz Hurley & Arun Nayar
In surely one of the most expensive weddings in matrimonial history, Liz Hurley married her prince Arun at a civil ceremony in Gloucestershire, where Elton John walked her down the aisle, before jetting off to Arun’s native India. There, a six-day wedding celebration commenced, culminating in a vow-renewal ceremony at a maharaja’s lavish palace. Unfortunately, the pair split in 2010.
Rex FeaturesElizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton
The original dual-wedding-couple Liz and Dick first split in 1974 after ten years of marriage, only to remarry one year later! Sadly, this is one couple who didn’t learn from their mistakes, and they divorced again just nine months later. And with 12 marriages between them, you’d have thought they’d have got sick of weddings long before.
