Sophie Turner & Joe Jonas

1/12

On the morning of May 2, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas attended Billboard Music Awards 2019 in Las Vegas.

Hours later, Diplo posted an Instagram story of him attending the couple’s wedding.

Wait, what? It’s not a joke. The couple tied the knot at A Little White Chapel, where a few celebrities have exchanged their vows.

Diplo even live-streamed them exchanging vows on Instagram, so you know it’s legit.

It’s unclear if they’re gonna hold the summer wedding that Sophie wished for.

Blake Lively & Ryan Gosling

2/12

Blake reportedly enlisted the help of Martha Stewart (her idol!) and a wedding planner to pull off the hush-hush wedding.

The couple wedded in 2012, at Boone Hall Plantation, which was featured in The Notebook.

Won Bin and Lee Nayoung

3/12

When a top celebrity gets married in Korea, the wedding often comes with a press conference that takes place before the official ceremony.

But Won Bin and Nayoung skipped all the glitz and camera flashes by holding a super private ceremony in the middle of the field – literally.

The couple has since welcomed a baby in December last year, but has not revealed any details about their child.

Zoe Saldana

4/12

The actress secretly married her husband, Marco Perego, after they dated for a few months.

She told Marie Claire, “I don't do the ABCs. I do what my heart says, what my heart feels. So from the moment I met my husband, we were together. We knew.”

Kang Gary, of Running Man and Leessang fame, surprised everyone when he announced that he had gotten married yesterday.

In his Instagram post, he wrote that he and his non-celebrity wife didn't hold a wedding ceremony.

He wrote, "There might be some of you who are shocked by our sudden marriage announcement, but I hope you'll give us your blessing for our new future." 

Ashton Kutcher

6/12

Mila revealed on The Howard Stern Show that their wedding wasn’t a planned one.

Although they were in a relationship at that time, they woke up one day and decided to get married.

She said, “We started dating with the idea we were both never going to get married. A year later we were like, ‘Tomorrow let’s [get married].’”

They got married in July last year and have two kids.

U-KISS's Eli

7/12

While Eli is not the first K-pop idol to get married while he’s still actively promoting as part of a group, his marriage registration was kept a secret.

It wasn’t until a year later that he revealed it through Instagram while announcing his wife’s pregnancy.

Fans had suspected he was in a relationship when he accidentally uploaded a selfie with a woman’s bra seen in the background, but at that time, he claimed the lingerie belonged to his mother.

Margot Robbie & Tom Ackerley

8/12

When word got out that Margot Robbie tied the knot with her long-time beau Tom Ackerley, she confirmed with a sassy post on Instagram of her seemingly flipping off.

But if you look carefully, it ain’t her middle finger, but her ring finger.

Beyonce & Jay Z

9/12

Little is known about Jay Z and Beyonce’s wedding, apart from the fact that Queen Bey didn’t quite fancy her wedding dress.

The couple tied the knot in 2008, but it wasn’t until 2014 when Jay Z posted a video snippet of their wedding that we got a glimpse of the top secret event.

In the same year, they renewed their vows on Bey’s birthday
