While 2014 may have seen its share of celebrity breakups, there were also many new unions to be accounted for! Even George Clooney, who swore he’d never walk down the aisle again, decided to give marriage another go this year!
Let’s hope none of these newlyweds make our 2015 list for celebrity divorces…
20. Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici
They found love on television…so it’s no surprise that they celebrated their marriage in the same way! The Bachelor couple tied the knot live on ABC on January 26, and have continued to remain inseparable ever since.
19. Stacy Keibler and Jared Pobre
Stacy may not have been the girlfriend George Clooney chose to take to the altar…but the former WWE star had a wedding of her own to celebrate! Just months after splitting from the A-Lister, Stacy began dating Jared, and their whirlwind romance culminated with a secret March 8 wedding in Mexico. Just a few weeks later, the couple announced they were expecting their first child.
18. Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade
They ended 2013 with a romantic engagement, and didn’t waste too much time with wedding planning! Gabrielle married the basketball player just months later, with a Miami wedding on August 30.
17. Naya Rivera and Ryan Dorsey
This one really came out of nowhere! Just three months after Naya called off her engagement to Big Sean, she secretly married her longtime friend Ryan in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on July 19.
16. Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison
Jodie officially came out during a long-winded speech at the 2013 Golden Globes, and just over a year later, she tied the knot with Alexandra in a secret ceremony in April. The ladies began dating less than a year earlier.
15. Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross
The odds were definitely in Ashlee’s favor this year! The 30-year-old married her Hunger Games beau on Labor Day Weekend at his mom, Diana Ross’, Connecticut estate. They got engaged just months earlier, at the beginning of January, after a short courtship.
14. Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald
It was definitely the year of the Duggars, and Jessa kept the ball rolling for her famous family by marrying Ben in Arkansas on Nov. 1. The couple famously decided to skip their first kiss at the wedding, opting to go for it in private instead…but haven’t been shy about their PDA since!
13. Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard
But Jessa wasn’t the only Duggar to walk down the aisle! Just months earlier, Jill married Derick in an equally-large ceremony on June 21 — and that wasn’t their only happy news for 2014! Two months after the wedding, the 19 Kids and Counting couple revealed they’re expecting their first child.
12. Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka
It’s about time these two were able to make things legally official! After ten years together, Neil and David secretly got married in an intimate, but A-List-filled, ceremony in Italy in September — and Elton John performed at their reception!
11. Ashley Tisdale and Christopher French
No one knew this one was coming — and that’s just the way Ashley planned it! The actress married Christopher on a Monday in September, and news didn’t hit the public until she, herself, posted photos on Instagram from the ceremony shortly after.
10. Snooki and Jionni LaValle
It turns out you can find true love from a one night stand! After two babies together, Snooki and Jionni finally tied the knot in a Great Gatsby-themed wedding on Nov. 29 — just two months after welcoming their daughter, Giovanna. The wedding was filmed for Snooki & JWoww and is expected to air sometime during its final season, which airs on MTV Wednesdays.
9. Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg
That was fast! These two only just got engaged in April, with Jenny debuting her massive ring on The View, and were married by September. Their Aug. 31 nuptials took place in Chicago, and less than a month later, the actress revealed she’d already lost her wedding ring!
8. Lauren Conrad and William Tell
We spent years watching Lauren get her heart broken on television, but this year, she finally found her happy ending! After months of careful planning, the designer married law student and Something Corporate rocker William on Sept. 13 in Saint Ynez, California, surrounded by family and friends.
7. Leighton Meester and Adam Brody
They’re one of the most private couples in Hollywood, but they couldn’t keep this one away from the public! Leighton and Adam got married very secretly in February, allegedly in Mexico, but fans spotted a wedding ring on the actor’s finger during their trip back to the States. Days later, The O.C. star quietly confirmed the nuptial news.
6. Scarlett Johansson and Romain Dauriac
Another notoriously private star, Scarlett was surprisingly able to keep her wedding news out of the media for two months! On Dec. 1, news finally broke that she and Romain had married in September, not long after the birth of their daughter, Rose.
5. Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson
This wedding was supposed to have happened a lot sooner…but Jess accidentally got pregnant with the couple’s second child instead! A year after Ace’s June 2013 birth, though, the fashion designer was finally ready to walk down the aisle, and did just that when she married Eric in a July 4 weekend ceremony in Santa Barbara, California.
4. Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo
Adam officially went off the market in mid-July, when he married the Victoria’s Secret model in a star-studded wedding in Los Cabos, Mexico. Jonah Hill officiated the ceremony, with other celebs like Jason Segel and Robert Downey Jr. also in attendance.
3. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
They’re well past the 72-day mark…which is already a step in the right direction compared to Kim’s last marriage. The reality star and rapper had an over-the-top wedding weekend, starting things off with a rehearsal dinner at the Palace of Versailles in France, and herding all their guests to Italy the very next day for the ceremony. While they’ve kept most photo and video footage from their wedding private, a photo of the buzzed-about couple kissing at the altar currently holds the record for most Instagram likes!
2. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
They finally did it! At their kids’ request, Brad and Angelina finally walked down the aisle, nearly ten years after they got together on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The August wedding was top-secret, and wasn’t announced by their rep until five days after the ceremony. The couple’s intimate nuptials (even Angie’s dad had no idea!) took place on Aug. 23 at the Chateau Miraval in France.
1. George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin
World’s most eligible bachelor no more! After his divorce from Talia Balsam in 1993, George swore he’d never marry again…but all that changed when he met the British-Lebanese lawyer in 2013. The actor popped the question in April, and the pair said “I do” in a private ceremony in Venice, Italy at the end of September.
