Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt's five-year marriage may have come and gone, but memories of their wedding in 2000 will stay forever in their guest's minds.

The former Hollywood It couple first met in 1994, when the actor was with former fiancée Gwyneth Paltrow, and started dating in 1998. "That was a really easy evening. It was really fun," the Friends alum later told Diane Sawyer in a 2004 interview.

The two announced their engagement in 1999 at a Sting concert, and tied the knot in front of a reported 200 friends atop a Malibu cliff on July 29.

Though Jennifer and Brad infamously divorced in 2005, just as the latter sparked up a romance with now also ex-wife Angelina Jolie, the former couple's wedding appears to have left a lasting impression on comedian Michael Rapaport.

During a recent appearance on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live, not only did the actor reveal he attended the star-studded wedding 23 years ago, but he also shared the epic, ultra-luxe feature the two treated their friends to.

Brad and Jennifer's wedding has been reported to have cost approximately $1 million, with stars such as Salma Hayek, Edward Norton, Cameron Diaz, and others in attendance.

She wore a halter-neck dress with embroidered pearls on its bodice designed by Lawrence Steele, while Brad opted for a sharp black suit designed by former Saint Laurent creative director Hedi Slimane, who today helms Celine.

Despite their tumultuous break-up, today the two are on friendly terms. Jennifer went on to both marry and divorce Justin Theroux, who she also remains friends with, and in 2018, she told Elle: "My marriages, they've been very successful, in [my] personal opinion," adding: "And when they came to an end, it was a choice that was made because we chose to be happy, and sometimes happiness doesn't exist within that arrangement anymore."
