Former member of 98 Degrees, Nick Lachey, and former Miss Teen USA and MTV Host, Vanessa Minnillo tied the knot July 15, 2011.
They didn’t have your average celebrity wedding, with a guest list full of stars and paparazzi flashing their cameras everywhere.
They had a surprise wedding location planned out for their 35 closet friends and family members.

Everyone loaded up on a plane with no clue where they were going, and when they arrived on Sir Richard Branson’s private Necker Island, no one was disappointed.
It was very important to the couple that paparazzi not ruin their perfect day, so they took extreme measures by not even telling their own parents the location of the wedding.
Minnillo wanted a traditional wedding, with tuxes and heels, and that is what she got. She was stunning in a Monique Lhuiller two piece gown with Christian Loubitan pumps. While Lachey looked handsome in a Dolce & Gabbana suit.

Minnillo’s dress was one to remember with a lace corset embellished with rose and crystal detail and a skirt made of silk.
When she asked Lachey what he wanted to see her in he said, “something traditional with a little modern flair.”
Her dress absolutely met the criteria, from the front it looked like a traditional wedding dress, but the see through lace on the back added that modern flair her groom was looking for.
Everything was perfect, from the ceremony that was held over looking the ocean to the dance party on the beach that night. Their wedding was intimate and personal, which most celebrities do not have the luxury of experiencing.

Cheers to That!
This is the section in every post that I will rate the weddings on four separate categories: the wedding dress, venue, decorations, and reception. Following that will be an overall rating of each wedding! I will rate based on a scale of "Cheers!" from 1 to 5. (1- don't like it, 3-not my favorite, 5-Cheers to that!)
The Wedding Dress: 4 Cheers! I thought Minnillo looked absolutely beautiful in her gown.
Venue: 5 Cheers! Sir Richard Branson's island was the perfect place for a private, tropical location. I loved how the couple only brought along their closest friends and family to be a part of such a special time.
Decorations: 4.5 Cheers! The simplicity of the decorations was what I loved. The bright flowers created a tropical feel.
Reception: 5 Cheers! The reception was all about having fun and enjoying their surroundings. The couple danced the night away on the beach, which sound wonderful to me!
Overall I give the Minnillo/ Lachey wedding 4.5 Cheers!
