If there's one thing I love more than a wedding, it's a celebrity wedding. And there were plenty to keep me busy in 2013! Below's a quick round-up of the most buzzed about weddings, but before you get eyeball-deep in the text, read this:

Here are some of my favorite 2013 celeb weddings, several of which we'll be discussing tomorrow!
- After the bride bailed on her first trip down the aisle—Oops!—Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris rang in 2013 with a New Year's Eve wedding.
- Janet Jackson
Miss Jackson, if you're nastysecret-married Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana in late 2012, but news of their wedding didn't break until almost three months into 2013. - Christina Applegate and Martyn LeNoble also had a hush-hush wedding, swapping vows in a private ceremony in their home in February.
- Keira Knightley and James Righton went under the radar, too. {Anyone sensing a trend here? } The two said "I do" in the South of France in the spring. Keira wore a custom Chanel dress, which she just wore for the third time on the red—er, blue—carpet.
- Taking up the fun factor a notch,Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul made Lauren Parsekian his Mrs. Groomsmen (including Bryan Cranston!) wore black tuxedos with bow ties, the bride wore a strapless wedding dress and white boots—and everyone wore masquerade masks!
- A few days later, Facebook quadrillionaire Sean Parker and singer-songwriter Alexandra Lenas celebrated their nuptials with 300 family members and friends at the Ventana Inn in Big Sur, California. Their Lord of the Rings-chic wedding—which included custom costumes for all of their guests—was rumored to cost around $9 million.
- Also in June: Kristin Cavallari married her baby daddy, Jay Cutler, in Nashville. The bride wore this dreamy Monique Lhuillier number.
- Like many 2013 newlyweds, Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez—who have since welcomed a baby boy—were married overseas, too. The civil union took place in Chateau des Conde in France, Olivier's native country, followed by a religious ceremony at 5:30 at the chapel in the village.
- Handsome-pants Jesse Tyler Ferguson (of Modern Family fame) kept his nuptials with Justin Mikita stateside. The pair were married in good ol' NYC—and had the BEST cake topper.
- Kate Bosworth arrived in style when she married director Michael Polish at the Ranch at Rock Creek in Philipsburg, Montana. Wearing a custom Oscar de la Renta gown, the bride rolled in in a horse-drawn stagecoach!
- Also getting married on the home front: former Girls Next Door star Holly Madison and Pasquale Rotella, who said "I do" in Disneyland. Obviously.
- On the wedding-dresses-you're-jealous-of front, model Chrissy Teigen wore three Vera Wang gowns when she married John Legend in Italy.
- Kelly Clarkson was planning a big, fat Nashville wedding to Brandon Blackstock, but she got majorly fed up with wedding planning, and the two had a wedding a deux instead. (Well, a four—his kids from a previous relationship were their guests!)
