Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl

While Olivia Palermo didn't run off to an exotic location, she kept her wedding to German model Johannes Huebl very hush hush. The couple said "I do" in June 2014 in a quiet park tucked away in Bedford, New York, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen

Sacha often plays outrageous characters on screen, but the father-of-two is deeply private. He married his long-term sweetheart in a ceremony in Paris.

The low-key couple are said to have told their friends of their union in an email. Isla wrote: "We did it - we're married! It was the absolute best day of my life and in so many beautiful moments I missed you all so much. "I thought of you as everything was happening, but Sacha and I wanted no fuss – just us!"

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepherd

Kristen and Dax married in a small, low-key – and reportedly spontaneous – wedding ceremony. The couple, who had been engaged for four years, wed at the Beverly Hills County Clerk office in Los Angeles.

The nuptials cost just $200, including the price of gas, with Dax dubbing the affair "the worst wedding ever".

"Friends of ours came to the courthouse," said Dax. "It was just Kristen and I at this lonely courthouse, so they brought us this cake afterwards. 'World's Worst Wedding.' How many people can say they threw 'The World's Worst Wedding?'

Here's hoping that Dax changes his tune when telling his daughters Lincoln and Delta about their parents' special day.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green

Another screen siren to wed quietly in 2010 was then-24-year-old Megan Fox, who married her on-and-off boyfriend of six years, Brian Austin Green, in Hawaii on June 24. After a called-off engagement in 2009, the two reunited and became engaged again just weeks before their wedding. For the casual beach ceremony, the lovebirds were joined only by Brian's son, Kassius, who like the bride and groom, went barefoot.

Megan looked gorgeous in elegant, flowing Armani Prive gown that coordinated with her husband's white summertime look.

The couple had two sons - Noah and Bodhi - before splitting in 2015. They reconciled shortly before the birth of their third child Journey in Aug. 2016.

The two made their love official on Valentine's Day in an emotional civil ceremony in Paris. The road to marriage wasn't always smooth - they separated a year after announcing their engagement and Salma's pregnancy. Following their Parisian wedding, the two celebrated in style with a party in Venice, where Francois owns a home.
