Sherri Shepherd Among Stars Featured in E! FASCINATING CELEBRITY WEDDINGS Today

Every girl dreams about her wedding day: the flowers, the bridesmaids, the...elephants? A brand new E! Entertainment Special will feature the most fascinating celebrity weddings where pachyderms and firework permits are par for the course. From Kate Middleton to Reese Witherspoon, this one-hour special gives viewers their own personal invitation to hear juicy details from the top celebrity wedding planners, including Mindy Weiss and Yifat Oren; see exclusive interviews with celebrity brides including Monica, Chely Wright, Sherri Shepherd, Shannon Tweed, and Brooke Burke and view never-before seen photographs and videos of the A-lists' special day. The E! Entertainment Special: Fascinating Celebrity Weddings airs today, December 26th at 9:00 PM on E!

A wedding needn't be lavish to be fascinating - but don't tell that to Katy Perry or to British Heiress Petra Ecclestone. Perry began her married life with an elephant processional in India and Ecclestone walked down the aisle in a $130,000 Vera Wang gown. While most celebs have the cash for an over-the-top affair, some, like Kellie Pickler and Miranda Lambert opt for a down-home feel. Kellie Pickler got married in (yes, in) the ocean and Lambert showed up at her big day in a pick-up truck.

For certain A-list brides, privacy was one of the most important parts of the day. For others, safety was the main concern. When Vanessa Minnillo married Nick Lachey they sprung for a fireworks permit to keep the helicopter paparazzi away. And at certain weddings where government VIP's are involved, such as Chelsea Clinton's 2010 affair, Sharon Sachs, wedding producer, explains that food tasters are often on hand and that dignitary meals are swapped as waiters walked into the dining area.

From the invitations to the theme to the dress, "Fascinating Celebrity Weddings" showcases these dream weddings in a level of detail never seen before. A few featured brides include Hilary Duff, Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie, Molly Sims, Carrie Underwood, and Ivanka Trump. This romantic look at the many ways Hollywood's elite say, "I do" airs today, December 26th at 9:00 PM.
