74908: Sylvester Stallone and Family Take European Vacation (Photo)
Although best known for his acting and writing skills, silver screen star Sylvester Stallone, who has long had a passion for painting, savored the opportunity to let his artistic eye wander over the masterpieces housed in the Capitoline museum in Rome during his July jaunt to the Italian capital. Designed by Michelangelo, Sly and his family walked through the Piazza de Campidoglio on their way to the cluster of museums which line the square for a face-to-face encounter with the bronze bust of Emperor Constantine I.
Playing a prominent role alongside Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in the 1953 romantic romp
Roman Holiday, the Spanish Steps is a site with its own star quality. According to
Hello magazine online, the Hollywood heavyweight, his wife Jennifer Flavin and their three children climbed the 138 stone slabs as they enjoyed a shopping spree. Taking a break on the steps from their perusal for purchases, the movie icon could gaze at the splashing waters of La Fontana della Barcaccia and the Keats-Shelley House, where poet John Keats spent his last months of life. Today a museum, the structure contains a treasure trove of romantic memorabilia ranging from strands of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's hair to poetry penned by Oscar Wilde.
Days before embarking on their Italian vacation itinerary, the 1970's king of the box office was in France paying a visit to the former abode of the Sun King, the Palace of Versailles. After strolling in the footsteps of Louis XIV, Madame de Pompadour, Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, Stallone ventured into the heart of Paris and its most beloved landmark, the Eiffel Tower, where the star of
Rocky and
Rambo, his wife and daughters mulled over the menu at Le Jules Verne restaurant before returning to their regal accommodations at the George V Palace Hotel.

Wedding Photo: Elizabeth Taylor and Nick Hilton, 1950
On May 6, 1950 the strains of "The Wedding March" was the cue for guests inside The Church of The Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills to rise from the pews as Elizabeth Taylor made her grand entrance in a white satin wedding dress created by MGM studio designer Helen Rose, who would go on to construct bridal attire for another queen of the silver screen when Grace Kelly became the wife of Prince Rainier. The look of the gown would create movie magic soon after the bride's walk down the aisle, as the silver screen beauty had donned bridal attire almost identical to her own "I do" design for the comedy
Father of The Bride.
Standing at the altar was Hilton Hotel heir Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, Jr. The couple parted ways in January 1951.

Wedding Photo: Prince Charles and Princess Diana On Balcony of Buckingham Palace
A courtly buss on the hand would later be followed by a proper kiss as the newly pronounced Diana, Princess of Wales and her prince stood on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after their July 29, 1981 wedding ceremony.
Images captured of the moment also reveal details of Princess Diana's wedding dress. Constructed of ivory silk, the David and Elizabeth Emanuel creation is sprinkled with 10,000 pearls and mother of pearl sequins and lavishly accented with Carrickmacross lace, which was originally a present to Queen Mary from the Royal School of Needlework. While the gown's 25-foot-long train and lace-edged veil were the hallmarks of a royal bride, Diana's wedding dress also contained more intimate items, including a small blue bow (her "something blue") and a diamond-bedecked gold horseshoe for good luck.
A wedding dress with such "wow" factor needed a bouquet to make an equally impressive impact. When Diana walked down the aisle of St. Paul's Cathedral she had carried with her a cluster of yellow Mountbatten roses, gardenias, stephanotis, orchids, lily of the valley, freesia, and cuttings of myrtle and veronica from Osborne House-- a royal tradition observed since the days of Queen Victoria.

Her carriage reaching its destination at 11 A.M., a crowd that had held its collective breath in anticipation let out a thunderous cheer as Diana stepped out from her ride in a pair of gold-gilded, ivory silk Baboucha slippers, revealing for the first time the silhouette of her Emanuel wedding dress.

The couple, who became engaged on February 6, 1981 in the nursery at Windsor Castle, according to Andrew Morton's book
Diana Her True Story, accepted the well wishes of the press on the 24th of the same month as the official announcement was made from Buckingham Palace that the heir to the throne had chosen a bride.

Mirroring the joy in her heart that day, Sarah Ferguson's silk tulle veil danced in the breeze as she stepped out of a glass carriage to the thunderous cheers of wellwishers who had gathered outside of Westminster Abbey on July 23, 1986 in order to be among the first to glimpse the bride's wedding dress. A fairytale frock composed of ivory duchess satin, designer Lindka Cierach created a 17-foot, 6 inch train which trailed behind the bride as she was escorted down the aisle by her father toward the man she loved, Prince Andrew. Marking her transformation into The Duchess of York, the halo of roses, gardenias, lily petals and lilies-of-the-valley which graced her head at the start of the ceremony was removed once the bride and groom were pronounced husband and wife, revealing a decidedly more regal accessory-- a diamond tiara.
While their marriage was not to stand the test of time, their union not only produced two daughters which are the lights of both their lives, it also created a lasting friendship between the former couple, whose love and respect for each other carry on to this day.
