Olivia Palermo Marries Johannes Huebl

Olivia Palermo is married!
The tastemaker and style maven married German model Johannes Huebl during a very intimate ceremony in Bedford, New York, she announced on her website.
"We really wanted to keep this beautiful day very private and special to us and enjoyed the whole day with our family and two friends. Bedford is such an amazing and romantic countryside," Palermo says.
Palermo pieced together an outfit by Carolina Herrera, which included a cashmere sweater, white shorts and a full tulle skirt with a high slit, while her groom complemented her bridal ensemble in a white Marc Anthony Hamburg suit.

After the nuptials, the newlyweds headed back to New York City.
The couple have been together since 2008, and met through mutual friends at a movie screening in New York.
"Johannes is an incredible guy who's incredibly smart and funny and charming," the former star of The City, 28, told Brides magazine in May. "He has amazing qualities, that's what attracted me to him."
In 2010, Huebl said of their relationship, "I think we have a very conservative, old romantic, private approach to our love."
Palermo has said that she loves that they both work in fashion – he's a model and photographer, and she has collaborations with top brands, including Piperlime, and most recently, Westward Leaning sunglasses.
The fashionista is very particular about her style choices (don't expect to see her in a trendycrop top!) and her wedding would be no different. Regardless of location and vibe of the ceremony, "you're not going to see me in a huge cupcake dress," she said. "As beautiful as they are, they're just not me.”

Palermo has said that she and Huebl didn't let wedding planning get in the way of their romance: "At the end of the day, it's about the two of us, and that's the most important thing. People shouldn't lose sight of that."

After four years and two children, Jessica Simpson, 33, and Eric Johnson, 34, are finally getting hitched on July 4th.

Jessica Simpson’s Wedding Dress: Will Marry Eric Johnson Custom-Made Pale Pink Marchesa
“Jessica wants it to be the hugest, grandest event of the year,” a source tells In Touch mag. Jessica is “calling it a ‘supersize wedding!’” Well, we’re not so sure it could possibly be the hugestevent of the year — that honor may belong to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West — but we’re sure it will be fabulous.
Their wedding wll take place at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, according to the mag, and “will feature a barbeque spread and fireworks.”
The most exciting news, however, is that Jessica will be walking down the aisle in a pale pink, custom-made Marchesa gown. Gorgeous! Considering all the work she’s done to return to her pre-baby weight, we’re sure she’ll be thrilled by how she feels 55 pounds lighter from when baby Ace was born on her big day. We hope that we’ll see Ace and Maxwell in the wedding party!

The couple were originally planning on marrying in Capri, Italy, but “decided it was ‘too much’ to ask their friends to fly to Europe,” a source told Us Weekly. A ranch wedding seems much more their style, anyway.

Demi Lovato, 21, sure showed off her toned physique in this Brian Lichtenberg dress as she arrived at LOGO TV’s ‘Trailblazers’ Pride Event and Telecast Taping on June 23. We love Demi’s sense of style and edginess, and from her purple tips to pink lips, Demi totally rocked this red carpet look!
Demi Lovato’s Boobs In Mesh Dress For LOGO TV’s Trailblazers Pride Event:
This is definitely one of our favorite looks from Demi on the red carpet. Demi confidently rocked this sexy mesh cutout Brian Lichtenberg dress, which she paired with to-die-for Roberto Cavalli heels. Demi could not have mastered this ensemble more — her body looked absolutely insane and her overall ensemble was breathtaking. Go Demi!
We loved the paneling on the dress. The cutout mesh accentuated Demi’s curves while strategically keeping her covered. Her purple tips and bright magenta lipsadded a POP to the dress that you couldn’t help but notice! Demi was trulyglowing from head to toe — and her best accessory proved to be her assets, which were totally visible.

Demi has such an edgy sense of style, and her latest red carpet look totally supported her taste. From the black color to the mesh at the chest and her purple hair, we love how she can get glam while still staying true to her style — and her best accessory always proves to be her confidence! The star is looking happier and healthier than ever before and she oozes confidence on the red carpet.

Jill Duggar Kisses New Husband Derick Dillard at Their Wedding

Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard
You may now (finally) kiss the bride! Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard's wedding wasn't just the start of the couple's life as husband and wife—it was also the occasion of their first-ever kiss. In keeping with her family's courtship rules, the 19 Kids and Counting star, 23, decided to wait for marriage before locking lips with her beloved.
On Saturday, June 21, Jill and her fiance at last exchanged vows in front of more than 1,000 family members and friends at the Cross Church in Springdale, Ark., their rep confirmed to ABC News. Afterward, the two shared their first kiss at the altar.
Prior to saying "I do," the lovebirds had never done more than hold hands, which they did only after they got engaged in April. "We're just really trying to keep our relationship focused not on the physical but really just more on communication and continuing to learn more about each other," Jill explained to ABC earlier this year. "We're saving our first kiss and things beyond that for our wedding."
The TLC star's parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, support their daughter's choice, and in fact explained their ideas about dating on their show. "Courtship is really getting to know each other for the purpose of possibly getting engaged and getting married," Jim Bob said, noting that chaperones accompany the kids on their outings with potential suitors.
"As far as our kids dating," he began, "we believe a lot of times if you're alone with a person, it can create desires that can kind of get stirred up, and you don't have any accountability, and [that] can lead to some hanky panky."

"We did not save our first kiss for our wedding day, and we really regret that we didn't," Michelle added. "We really should have."

Oregon Couple Planning Dream Wedding Four Years After a Drunk Driver Delayed Their Plans

Last summer, McKenzie Yeoman set up a fundraising site so her sister, Kelcie, could have her dream Disney wedding to Larry Ragsdale, her high school sweetheart.
Readers were so touched by the Oregon couple's love story – their wedding plans were put on indefinite hold in March 2010 after a drunk driver plowed into Ragsdale's car as he was on his way to propose – she met her goal (to raise $20,000) in just 11 days.
It turns out getting the full Disney wedding experience costs more than that, so a group of former Disney brides who befriended Kelcie after her story went viral has set up another fundraiser to make sure she gets the full Cinderella experience.
"Recently, Kelcie posted on the group asking which she should choose between – the castle photography package or Cinderella's crystal coach," Christie McLarty, 27, of College Station, Texas, tells PEOPLE. "Of course, photography is essential, but a few of us Disney brides decided that they absolutely deserved to have Cinderella's crystal coach as well."
"Kelcie and Larry have been through so much," she continues. "I would love nothing more than for Larry to feel like her Prince Charming as they ride away in the coach after the wedding."
The bride-to-be was beyond thrilled.
"They're so amazing," Yeoman, 24, of Selma, Oregon, tells PEOPLE. "They're like a family and they just bring you in. I go to them for advice all the time."
The past year has been a whirlwind for Yeoman – starting with a surprise proposal last August, a video that immediately went viral and had a resurgence around Valentine's Day.
Ragsdale, once a star athlete who ran track, played football and made Sports Illustrated'sFaces in the Crowd list, suffered brain damage in the wreck and has spent much of the last four years in a rehabilitation facility.

JESSICA SANCHEZBut by last August he was well enough to propose at the same rehabilitation facility where Yeoman got a job so she could be by his side. They have set a September wedding date (though Disney told them not to reveal the exact date) with about 100 guests.
Yeoman says she broke down in tears when she found out her dream wedding was becoming a reality, thanks to her sister.
"It's really been amazing – the outpouring of love from people," she says. "People say, 'You guys deserve this.' I know Larry deserves the world and I work every day to give him the best world."
Ragsdale moved out of the rehabilitation facility in January and in with his fiancée, who now works as his full-time caretaker.
"He's doing so well," she says. "Since he's been home I just feel like he's so happy. Before I got to see him every day – now it's all the time. It makes me happy. He's come a long way."
He still uses a wheelchair to get around, but is slowing learning to walk again, she says. His limitations come from his brain injury – he's not partially paralyzed, as has been reported – she says.
"He has balance issues," she says. "He can take some steps with a handrail and some assistance. We just keep seeing progress. So it's great."
Ragsdale goes to speech, occupational and physical therapy, Yeoman says. His speech is a little more challenging because of his brain injury, but it's improving as well, especially since he came home, she says.
"He randomly will come up with a new phrase and it's not something I'll say," she says. "He recently started saying, 'I'm the man' all the time and it cracks everyone up."
While the couple like to share memories of their past together – before their lives changed forever – the accident itself is not something they dwell on, she says.

"We try not to think about all we lost because that makes us both really sad," she says. "But it feels good to finally continue on with the plans we had after waiting for so long for them to happen."
