Jennifer Garner

While most celebs opt for a runaway wedding because of the rock and roll spontanaeity of it, Jen and Ben Affleck probably chose this style of wedding because of their love of privacy.  They wed at the house of Bruce Willis on the exclusive island of Parrot Cay in the Carribean.  Just like the wedding, their marriage is low key and appears to be a happy union.

Billie Piper

In 2001, gorgeous 19 year old pop star Billie wore a sarong and man’s shirt to marry millionaire DJ Chris Evans.  They married following a three month romance at the The Little Church of the West, which also hosted the nuptials of Sir Bob Geldof and Paula Yates and Noel Gallagher and Meg Matthews.  Although they have since divorced they remain very good friends.
