WEDDING BELLES

What was it about 2011 and nuptials? Wills and Kate kicked off wedding fever and made a fashion megastar of Alexander McQueen‘s Sarah Burton (and Pippa); Lily Allen wed her builder; Jamie Hince made an honest woman of Kate Moss; Rachel Weisz nabbed her very own James Bond; and here’s to Elizabeth Hurley ‘n’ Shane Warne.

Meanwhile, along with eight million-odd viewers, we were obsessed with My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, while the funny film of choice Bridesmaids asked the question on every modern bride’s lips: exactly how do you survive getting down the aisle? Hot moment: Pippa’s bottom upstaging, well, everything. Now we know why bridesmaids’ dresses are usually so awful.
