113208: "Without A Trace" Star Roselyn Sanchez's Wedding

Newline's
On July 7, 2007 actress Roselyn Sanchez, her beau actor Eric Winter and other invited guests rose from the pews which line the Church of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois in Paris as Eva Longoria Parker strolled by in her silk wool Angel Sanchez wedding dress. On November 29, 2008 the Desperate Housewives star returned the favor as she and 250 other friends and family members stood in honor of the Without a Trace star, who walked a path at San Cristobal fort in San Juan, Puerto Rico which led her to the man waiting to make her his wife.

Although she had posed in creations by Melissa Sweet, Oscar de la Renta, Elizabeth Filmore and Christian Lacroix for the pages of InStyle Weddings, for her "I do" the bride-- like her famous friend before her-- chose a design by Angel Sanchez. According to People magazine online, hand-embroidered diamonds and pearls added an extra regal touch to the princess-style garment as Ms. Sanchez received from actor Eric Winter a wedding band to accompany the 4.3-carat brilliant-cut Michael Barin engagement ring which the bride had worn since a romantic getaway to the island of Vieques in December 2007.

113108: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Dine with The Beckhams

Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate family and friends, and on the eve of the American holiday power couples Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and David and Victoria Beckham gave thanks for both as they sat down with their children at a reserved table inside the Il Cantorini restaurant. A staple of Greenwich Village's gourmet scene since 1983, the elegant eatery seasoned the two couples' dining pleasure with selections from a menu which features such Tuscan treats as Portobello alla griglia, Pesce al Cartoccio and Polletto alla Paesana.

Just as the Italian cuisine was food for the body, the immortal words of playwright Arthur Miller earlier that day was nourishment for the couples' souls as the Beckhams and the Hollywood superstar enjoyed a performance of All My Sons, starring a member of the evening's celebrity quartet, Katie Holmes. Taking their seats on the fifth row, My Park Magazine revealed that the A-list audience members listened as the voice of the former Dawson's Creek star rang out inside the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, a mid-Manhattan landmark which once echoed with soliloquies from John Barrymore.

112808: Billionaire Charles Simonyi's Wedding

Although he flew among the stars a year ago as a space tourist on a 10-day journey to the International Space Station, on November 22, 2008 billionaire Charles Simonyi was in seventh heaven as he said "I do" to his love of less than one year, Lisa Persdotter. Standing at the altar of the Christine Kyrka in Gothenburg, Sweden, the former Microsoft pioneer watched his bride walk down the aisle in a strapless gown paired with a lace-edged, diaphanous veil.

Among the many guests to rise from the pews at her passing were the groom's former Microsoft colleague Bill Gates and Ace of Base member Ulf Ekberg, who looked on as the Swedish socialite received a wedding band to accompany the engagement ring which came with the couple's 8/8/08 proposal in St. Tropez, Sweden's The Local reported.

The couple's first stroll together as husband and wife led them out of the house of worship and into a waiting limousine which took the newlyweds to the Park Lane Club for a reception.

Upon their return from a honeymoon getaway, the pair will be busy writing thank you notes to family and friends for presents they received from the NK luxury shopping mall in Gothenburg, where the couple had placed a wedding registry list.

112708: Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law Film in Liverpool

Which restaurant is the top spot in Liverpool for an epicurean adventure? For Sherlock Holmes stars Robert Downey Jr., who will portray the legendary detective in the upcoming Guy Ritchie-directed flick, and Jude Law, who has stepped into the shoes of the sleuth's sidekick Dr. Watson, the answer is elementary-- 60 Hope Street. A venue recognized for its seafood selection, the A-listers, along with a coterie of cast and crew members, mulled over a menu featuring fish and chips in Cain's beer batter and pan-fried fillet of sea bass with clam chowder before enjoying their choice of gastronomic treat at the Georgian-style dining establishment, the Liverpool Echo reported

Although Liverpool is best known as the birthplace of The Beatles, it was Gerry and the Pacemakers' tune "Ferry Cross the Mersey" which brought pop culture prominence to the River Mersey, the body of water which once welcomed a steady flow of steamers pulling away from Clarence Dock, where cameras rolled on the upcoming feature film in mid-November. No longer in use, the site received a time-altering transformation back to its heyday as the cast and crew arrived in their Victorian vestments.

112608: Robert Pattinson at The Plaza Hotel

Having made an indelible mark on the hearts of his fans, it seems only appropriate that actor Robert Pattinson would be among the A-list attendees at the Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection event held to benefit UNICEF, The Gossip Girls report.

The actor, who has brought author Stephenie Meyer's lovestruck vampire Edward Cullen to supernatural life in the screen adaptation of Twilight, strolled past the smiling portrait of Eloise from the classic series of Kay Thompson's children's books as he made his way to the soiree at The Plaza Hotel in New York City.

Destined to take a bite out of The Big Apple during his stay, the star had only recently touched down at JFK Airport following a flight which had originated at LAX.

Don't forget to enter Lovetripper's Twilight contest! All entries must be received by 11.59 on November 23, 2008.

112508: Orlando Bloom in Moscow

Following the Buddhist faith for several years, Orlando Bloom is known for his interest in mankind's spiritual side. No doubt the Pirates of the Caribbean star appreciated the ecclesiastical elegance of the onion domes which top St. Basil's Cathedral, Moscow's most famous house of worship, which stood in the distance as the actor made his red carpet walk for the 60th anniversary of the Land Rover.

Constructed in the 16th century on the order of Ivan the Terrible, the landmark lords over Red Square and Vasilyevsky Spusk, where the matinee idol braved the bone-chilling temperature and waved at fans before walking past the Russian President's official residence, the Kremlin.

Through the bitter cold, the heartthrob's heart was surely warmed by the thought of girlfriend (and, if rumor becomes reality, fiancee) Miranda Kerr, who was basking in the glow of both the Miami sunshine and the admiring glances of guests as she arrived at the Fontainbleau Hotel for the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show.

112408: George Clooney in Roswell

Ever since the iconic incident on July 7, 1947, Roswell, New Mexico has been linked to the possibility of visitors from outer space. For three days in mid-November 2008, however, the town was visited by a heavenly Hollywood body as George Clooney arrived to shoot scenes for his forthcoming flick Men Who Stare at Goats.

Living up to the school motto of "Duty, Honor and Achievement," the cast and crew worked diligently during filming at the New Mexico Military Institute, a venue accustomed to the site of A-listers, having been the alma mater of actor Owen Wilson, football legend Roger Staubach and socialite Conrad Hilton Jr., among others.

People magazine's former Sexiest Man Alive showed up on set after completing scenes days earlier at the Harwood Museum in Albuquerque, OnLocationVacations.com reports.

112308: Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz at Hard Rock Hotel

Having recently bought high dollar digs in Huntington Beach, California, the warm glow of candles purchased by Jenna Jameson while perusing the Hard Rock Retail Store in Las Vegas can offer a romantic ambiance at home for the soon-to-be Mom and the man in her life, Tito Ortiz.

According to FOX News online, as the one-time video vixen strolled among the store's displays of William Rast jeans and knick knacks of a Vegas era Elvis, her UFC beau bought a grand's worth of glitter in the form of King Baby cufflinks and a skull key chain to remember their November night at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

The one-time adult entertainment icon will soon be searching for infant items, as Ms. Jameson has announced that the couple will be doubly blessed with the birth of twins.

112108: Kelly Osbourne Reportedly Engaged

The Osbournes party with Guns N' Roses and scantily clad models
While she shared the highs and lows of her life with an audience of millions for four seasons on the MTV hit The Osbournes, when the time arrived to announce her engagement Kelly Osbourne relied on Luke Worrall, her beau of the past six months, to break the happy news. The 18-year-old model recently let the world know that marriage is on their minds as he changed his Facebook profile to read "relationship status: engaged to Kelly Osbourne."

Talk that the couple would tie the knot began to circulate during New York Fashion Week in September, when a rock was spotted on the ring finger of the supposed bride-to-be. According to Now magazine, the former reality star-- who today dispenses advice both on air through her BBC1 Radio program The Surgery and in print in The Sun's column Kelly Confidential-- is contemplating an exchange of vows in Las Vegas, with a King of Rock 'n' Roll impersonator presiding over the ceremony for the daughter of "The Prince of Darkness," Ozzy Osbourne.

111908: "Make Me A Supermodel" Contestant Hannah McCarthy Engaged

Fashion With A Conscience Launch
There is an old saying which states "When one door closes, another one opens." The adage rang true for catwalk cutie Hannah McCarthy (standing in the middle in the photo on the left), who little realized as she walked out of the accommodations she shared with the other contestants on the Australian edition of Make Me A Supermodel for the final time that she was walking toward a new life together with the man she loves.

On the same evening as her eviction from the series, no doubt the aspiring model-- who had donned a number of couture creations for the popular reality TV show-- began to fantasize about her dream "I do" dress as singer James Campbell, her beau of the past two and one-half years, slipped on her finger an elegant heirloom engagement ring worn by two generations of the prospective groom's family.

Currently enjoying their first weeks of betrothed bliss, the happy couple have not set a wedding date, the Sunshine Coast Daily online reports.

Red Sox Photo Day
Dubbed "The Greek God of Walks" for his prowess on a baseball playing field, Boston Red Sox star Kevin Youkilis walked down the aisle on November 9, 2008 with his fiancée of the past year, Enza Sambataro.

Just as they have supported him on the diamond, several of the groom's team mates-- second baseman Dustin Pedroia, third baseman Mike Lowell and designated hitter David Américo Ortiz Arias (also known to sports fans as "Big Papi")-- were among the 120 guests on hand for the first baseman's big day, the Boston Globe reported.

Accustomed to an infield mix of sand and clay, the groom stepped upon the golden sands of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to say "I do" to his bride, who donned a Vera Wang creation for the occasion.

111608: Celebrities Filming at St. Regis Resort Bora Bora

A phalanx of famous faces recently filed through the airport to board a flight for Bora Bora as production began on the upcoming comedy, Couples Retreat. Among the movie's A-list cast are Heroes star Kristen Bell, Jason Bateman, Vince Vaughn and Sex and the City's Kristin Davis, who will stroll through the St. Regis Resort as cameras roll through late November on the 2009 release.

According to the New York Post, the camaraderie of the close-knit cast was evident as the stars sank their teeth into a barbecue feast at the resort on the first night of filming, and the Tinseltown team's conversations now flow freely at the resort's bar after the cameras stop rolling for the day.

As another character in the upcoming comedy, the St. Regis Resort will play the part of the Eden East Resort-- a moniker which would no doubt be deemed appropriate by former high profile patrons of the South Pacific paradise. The serene sanctuary has previously acted as a romantic retreat for Eva Longoria Parker and Tony Parker as well as for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, who chose the hideaway for their honeymoon.

111508: Britney Spears Tours Alligator Farm

Over the years Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears have often been "swamped" by members of the media, but on a recent family outing with their parents ,Lynne and Jamie Spears, the two celebrity siblings found themselves surrounded by the citizens of a real swamp-- the American alligator. Knowing every young child's fascination with reptiles, the pair of paparazzi magnets took their little ones on a tour through Kliebert's Turtle and Alligator Farm, where the gruesome grimaces of the cold-blooded creatures greeted the famous guests.

A sanctuary not only for thousands of the so-called "living fossils," the Hammond, Louisiana park is also home to other wonders of the wetlands. Teeming with turtles, visitors get an up close look at the slow-paces species while egrets and herons watch the tourists from their nests.

111308: NASCAR Driver Carl Edwards Engaged

Hefty Odor Block 200
No one can predict where the road of life will take us-- not even a man who makes a living maneuvering the turns on speedways. "I can’t believe I’m getting married. If you had asked me four years ago if I’d be proposing to someone, I would have said, ‘No way’" NASCAR driver Carl Edwards recently confided to reporters as he relayed the happy news of his impending "I do" to Dr. Kate Downey,who has transformed in the eyes of the speed demon from a girl who attended the same high school to the woman who will be his wife, Scene Daily reports.

Although not performing one of the trademark backflips which often accompanies his victories on the race track, the broad smile on the face of the recent NASCAR Nationwide Series Hefty Odor Block 200 winner said it all as he spoke about the woman who accepted his October 2008 proposal.

Edwards is one of two drivers racing to the altar. Jamie McMurray recently asked for the hand of his longtime love Christy Futrell during a romantic getaway to the Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The reality TV romance, which had begun to blossom on screen as filming of the series progressed, reached fruition during a recent romantic getaway to Noosa Heads, where the bride-to-be said "Yes" to the proposal as her prospective groom slipped on her finger the engagement ring she had found waiting for her on a beach blanket, the Herald Sun reports.

As one of NASCAR's top racers, Jamie McMurray is accustomed to putting the pedal to the metal in his #26 Crown Royal/Irwin Industrial Tools Ford Fusion.

111008: Russell Brand Tours Alcatraz

Russell Brand escapes to Alcatraz

Having recently relinquished his position as a BBC radio host following a crude on-air caper, an incident which occurred shortly after infuriating Twilight fans by interrupting the movie's romantic lead Robert Pattinson at the VMAs, UK comedian Russell Brand seemed to have found solace from the recent scandals as he boarded a ferry for Alcatraz, where he strolled among the cells which once held some of history's most notorious criminals.

A site silenced by time, today the former federal prison is a National Historic landmark, an architectural skeleton whose story is passed on to the visitors listening to an audio tour complete with inmates testimonies of life at "the Rock."

Now enjoying its new life as a top tourist attraction, Alcatraz's haunting history is slowly being reclaimed by nature's beauty. Outside the walls which once held George "Machine Gun" Kelly, the "Birdman of Alcatraz" and Al Capone, a garden once planted by the families of the corrections officers now runs free on the land, serving as a home for over 25 species of birds. The grounds also welcome diverse Native American tribes each years as stirring sunrise ceremonies are conducted.

Not long after his sojourn to San Francisco, Russell Brand will be boarding a flight headed for the big island of Hawaii as filming gets underway on the cinematic retelling of Shakespeare's The Tempest.

110908: "Grey's Anatomy" Star Ellen Pompeo Celebrates Wedding Anniversary

Y-3 - Front Row - Spring 09 MBFW
As a queen of nighttime TV drama, a regal retreat like the Palazzo is an apt venue for Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and husband Chris Ivery to celebrate their first year of wedded bliss. E! online reports that the newlyweds will venture to the neon city during the second weekend in November, unpacking their luggage in one of the palatial paradise's 3,000 all-suite accommodations.

As the Entertainment Capital of the World's largest hotel, the Palazzo literally lords over the Las Vegas Strip, offering all of its patrons a view of both hotels on the horizon and the resort's closest neighbor, The Venetian, which the lovebirds will visit on November 8th as guests at TAO restaurant and nightclub.

Just as the high-profile pair celebrate their wedding anniversary, so TAO is commemorating three years on the scene. No doubt Ellen Pompeo's 3.5-carat emerald-cut diamond Tacori engagement ring and her wedding band will sparkle beneath the Asian-inspired club's lights as she mingles among the glitterati guests invited to the soiree, including Jenna Fischer from The Office, former Dancing with the Stars contestant Stacey Keibler, actress Amanda Bynes and Private Practice star Kate Walsh, who said so long to her status as a single woman with a bachelorette bash at TAO in 2007.

If the current round of rumors become reality, Kendra Wilkinson-- one of Hugh Hefner's former honeys-- may have found a permanent "play mate" in football star Hank Baskett.

Although her curvaceous contours have graced the pages of Maxim and FHM magazines and earned her the title of Rear of the Year, it was as much Jennifer Ellison's beautiful spirit as her eye-popping proportions which TKO'ed semi-pro boxer Rob Tickle. Following a seven-month courtship, the marriage-minded pugilist recently knelt on one knee and asked for the hand of the former Brookside star during a romantic getaway to the island of Mauritius, Now magazine reports.

The betrothed bride-to-be and her prospective groom are currently planning on an intimate "I do," which will take place some time in the next calendar year.

110408: Olympic Gold Medalist Picabo Street's Wedding

Known for skiing down slopes to gold and silver medal victories in the 1994 and 1998 Olympic games, the summit of Prospect Mountain in Hanceville, Alabama was an appropriate spot for Picabo Street to begin a new life together with her fiance since last spring, John Reeser.

On October 25, 2008 autumn's palette of crimson and sunshine yellow leaves seemed to christen the couple's union as they fluttered to the ground while the bride, dressed in a Monique Lhuillier design, made her way toward her groom, who had donned a suit by Ermenegildo Zegna for the occasion, People magazine reports.

Fate having brought the pair together on a flight two years ago, the newlyweds no doubt felt that they were on cloud nine as they pledged their love on the mountain's peak in the presence of 100 of their closest friends and family members.

110308: George Stephanopolous' 2001 Wedding: A Look Back

The Wedding of George Stephanopoulos
As the 2008 presidential election draws near, Lovetripper takes a look back at the wedding of the ABC News Chief Washington correspondent who will be covering the event as history unfolds November 4th, former political adviser George Stephanopolous:

Colleagues of the ABC network, Peter Jennings was accustomed to reporting the news of the day while Barbara Walters ruminated over events with her co-stars on The View. On November 20, 2001, however the TV icons became the news as they took their seats alongside 200 other guests in the pews that line the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Manhattan and waited for the start of one of the most prominent occasions on New York's social calendar that year-- the wedding of George Stephanopoulos, the former adviser to President Clinton, and actress Alexandra Wentworth (known to TV trivia buffs as "Schmoopy" from an episode of Seinfeld).

Candlelight illuminating their path, two cherubic flower girls in white carried bow-adorned baskets down the aisle as junior bridesmaids crowned with white blossom wreaths followed close behind before the bride made her grand entrance in a lace accented, silk Vera Wang creation, People magazine reported. Smiling as she passed by familiar faces such as model Paulina Porizkova and political commentator James Carville, she walked toward the altar where her groom, dressed in a dark Gucci suit, waited to make her his wife.

Having proposed on a Greek isle, the groom further honored his heritage by asking his father, a Greek Orthodox priest, to preside over their union. Once proclaimed Mr. and Mrs., the bride displayed her recently-acquired dancing skills at the reception as she performed traditional Greek dances with her new family.

110108: TV Journalist Alisha Davis Marries

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week:  Tomer - Front Row
Throughout her career as a journalist, Alisha Davis has reported the events of the day on Good Morning America, ABC News Now, E! News and MTV. However, on October 18, 2008 the reporter made headlines of her own as she walked down the aisle and said "I do" to Michael Roberts. Celebrating a love in full flower, the happy couple invited family and friends to share in their joy at a ceremony held in the public gardens at Wave Hill, a 28-acre verdant vision in Riverdale, The Bronx.

While most fathers step aside once the bride takes her place by her groom, the lady of the hour's parent, a Methodist minister, made the wedding a family affair as he presided over his daughter's nuptials, while the groom's father,a Baptist preacher, also blessed the couple's union, the New York Times reported.
