The Hottest Celebrity Weddings of Summer 2011

A string of celebrity guys and dolls spiced up the summer of 2011 traditional-style by tying the matrimonial knot. Here's a look at a heaping handful of famous ladies and gents who took the plunge into the fabled river of love. And just for fun, we've included a few guesses as to which matches will live on in wedded bliss, and which will probably be over by the time the first Autumn leaf falls.

Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig

Weisz and Craig pulled off a celebrity rarity on June 22: They got married in New York and managed to elude the prying eyes of the press. In fact, the ultra-private couple --who tended their blossoming relationship far from the usual celeb spotlight-- said I do before just four other people: Weisz's son, Craig's daughter, and two good friends. She beautiful, he's James Bond; what's not to love?

America Ferrera and Ryan Piers Williams

June 27 was a beautiful day for Ugly Betty. The actress, 27, donned a spectacular Amsale Aberra gown and tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend at co-star Vanessa Williams' Chappaqua, New York home. So far, so good: The pair has been spotted out and about together since the big day; most recently they were photographed holding hands following an Adele concert in Los Angeles. Ah, newlyweds.

Charlene Wittstock and Prince Albert II of Monaco

Wittstock and her prince made it official on July 1, but they didn't do so under the best of circumstances. Rumors of Prince Albert's alleged infidelity dogged the couple in the days leading up to the ceremony. If Albert doesn't stray and the bride can overlook those pesky bits from the gossip rags, they may have a shot at making in long-term. If not, well, she can always joined Sarah Ferguson's ex-royals club.

Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey

A secret, intimate wedding on a privately owned tropical island? Yes please! The former 98 Degrees frontman transformed the dreams of his girlfriend of five years into reality when the two wed on July 15 before a small group of close friends. The two took the slow lane toward marriage following Lachey's dramatic break-up with first wife Jessica Simpson in 2006, and their future as a couple --and as parents, if they get their wish-- looks bright.

Joy Behar and Steve Janowitz

It took more than 20 years, but the "The View" host and her super-de-duper longtime boyfriend finally tied the knot on August 11, just a few days before fellow co-host Sherri Shepherd's scheduled ceremony. The duo's certainly weathered their share of storms over the course of their lengthy dating life, but will the temperature change with rings in place? Probably not, but keep your eyes peeled.


Brooke Burke and David Charvet
 
The "Dancing with the Stars" babe and her "Baywatch" beau tied the knot in beautiful St. Barts on August 12. Given that the pretty pair were engaged for a whopping five years and already had two daughters together before getting hitched, the wedding took celebrity watchers by surprise. But hey, they've proven they can make it work as a couple. Chances of long-term survival? They're about as likely to make it as "DWTS" star Maksim Chmerkovskiy is to appear bare-chested on TV this Fall. In other words, it's lookin' good.

Sherri Shepherd and Lamar Sally

After celebrating their engagement the day after Christmas, the happy couple got hitched on August 13 in the Windy City. Before the big day rolled around, this summer 2011 celebrity bride praised her beau for his adoration of her son, age 5. The kid likes him, Sherri likes him. Looks good from here!


Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
 
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" starlet and her NBA boyfriend got hitched in what gossip rags tried to bill as a wedding to rival that of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Their August 20 ceremony was hardly the stuff of royalty, but it was a star-studded affair attended by big names from the notorious Lindsay Lohan to "DWTS" pro Cheryl Burke. But will the hoops star and the raven-haired gal known primarily for her sex tape and a substantial booty make it? Given the length of their relationship before Humphries put a ring on it, don't count on it: They just don't know each other well enough and will probably enter some seriously rough waters once that newlywed glow fades and reality sets in.

Tara Reid and Zack Keyahov

Kim K and her hubby hardly have a choke-hold on "maybe it's too soon"-style celebrity weddings, though. See if you can keep up with this one. Reid, 35, began dating Danish businessman Michael Lilleund in November of 2010. When the actress Tweeted her happy news to fans following her mid-August nuptials, she didn't specify the groom's name so some media outlets naturally named Lilleund the lucky guy. In reality, Reid got hitched to a dude named Zack Keyahov. (Yeah, we don't know who he is, either.) If your fans can't tell who you've married, your long term chances of success probably aren't all that good.
