Who doesn't love a good wedding? Of course, it's even better if you can enjoy the magic from the comfort of your home, a glass of bubbly in one hand and a live feed of fresh photos in the other.  We've all spent the past 30 years checking in with the A-list relationships that made it down the aisle. Of course, when there's millions in the bank, the so-called 'first day of the rest of your life' can afford to get particularly luxurious, from hosting at Versailles to boating down Venetian waterways.

Take a look back at the most famous weddings of the past three decades as we wait for news of the next celebrity stars to say 'I do'. Comparison might be the thief of joy, but we won't hold it against you if you'd pick just slightly different floral displays...

Most weddings are two people's star of 'happily ever after' but this fairytale love story becomes even more swoon-worthy when there's a princess involved.

Princess Eugenie and hospitality heavyweight Jack Brooksbank tied the knot in 2018, witnessed by 800 guests and held at St George's Chapel. They first met on a skiing holiday and have since welcomed two children together, sons August and Ernest.

The days of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, or 'Brangelina', being couple goals might be over, but their wedding has certainly continued to be a fixture of the cultural zeitgeist in the 12 years since.

The cultural impact might have been huge, but the wedding itself was kept cosy and private. The couple decided to tie the knot in a non-denominational ceremony at their own chapel within Château Miraval in France.

There's no bigger occasion for royal fans than the wedding of an heir to the throne. The future queen has been met with continued approval from the public but there was no outpouring of love greater than that on Will and Kate's wedding day in 2011.

Prince William and Princess Kate, stepped out to an excited roar from the public and were all smiles for the camera. A fairytale beginning, to be sure.

David and Victoria Beckham's wedding on 4 July 1999 married two of the country's biggest icons from music and sport in a wedding fit for pop culture royalty. Posh and Becks chose Luttrellstown Castle near Dublin for the ceremony, with a small vow exchange including just 29 guests and a larger reception do with 230 people in attendance. 

Of course, for Posh Spice there had to be an outfit change: Victoria sported a Vera Wang gown for the ceremony and then matched David with a vivid purple reception dress that's still memorable today.

Prince Harry was known to most as the 'party boy' prince, the spare to his older brother. But there was no doubting he'd truly found his match when he watched his now-wife Meghan walk up the aisle.

The couple tied the knot in a live-streamed ceremony from St George's Chapel on 19 May 2018. They have since left royal life behind and welcomed two children into their family fold, now based in California.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are one of Hollywood's best-loved couples, so fans were all in a flutter when the pair officially celebrated their love in December 2018. To honour both of their backgrounds, the pair held Christian and Hindu ceremonies. 

On 1 December, Chopra donned a hand-beaded gown with a jaw-dropping 75 foot veil. The next day, during the couple's Hindu ceremony, Nick wore traditional Indian dress and arrived on a horse, sword in hand. They have since welcomed daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas together.
