PICS: Celebs Who Had Secret Weddings
1. Princess Diana and Prince Charles:
When ET premiered in 1981, everyone was obsessed with Princess Diana's
wedding. Over 750 million people watched her say "I do" to Prince
Charles during the two-hour ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral in London,
England.
2. Prince William and Kate Middleton: In
2011, 30 years after his mother's nuptials, Prince William's wedding
became the most-watched of all time, as 2 billion viewers tuned in on TV
and the Internet when the royal couple exchanged vows at Westminster
Abbey in London, England.
3. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver:
The 1986 ceremony boasted an incredible guest list that featured John
F. Kennedy Jr., his mom Jackie O. and even Oprah Winfrey. Maria filed
for divorce from Arnold in July 2011, though their divorce has never
been finalized. The two split after it was revealed he fathered a son
more than 14 years earlier with an employee, Mildred Baena.
