Who: actress Kate Beckinsale ("The Aviator", "Serendipity") and director Len Wiseman

When: May 9, 2004

Where: The Bel-Air Hotel in Los Angeles, California

Pre-wedding Events: The premier locale for celebrity soirees since 1929, the castle-influenced ambiance of The Chateau Marmont echoes with the memories of such Hollywood notables as Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo and Clark Gable. The Tinseltown landmark was an apt choice for a combined bachelor and bachelorette party, which came to fruition with the guidance of event planner to the stars Mindy Weiss, who orchestrated an up-to-date variation of The Newlywed Game for the guests' enjoyment.

The Ceremony: Known as a retreat for Hollywood's elite, the five-star Bel-Air Hotel has been honored over the expanse of time with the presence of such luminaries as Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe. Two hundred and fifty guests witnessed the exchange of vows in the venue's garden, a horticultural haven alive with over two hundred varieties of plant life.

The Dress: The bride was a vision in a Vera Wang white strapless gown with a trumpet skirt. The thespian's brunette locks were adorned with a Neil Lane tiara, upon which a long, diaphanous veil was attached. A small bouquet of white blossoms completed the pristine look.
