Who: actress Tori Spelling and actor/screenwriter Charlie Shanian

When: July 3, 2004

Where: The outdoor ceremony took place on the grounds of Aaron Spelling's estate.

The Bachelorette Party: Like most brides-to-be, Tori and her attendants felt the need to momentarily escape the stress that can accompany rigorous wedding arrangements with a "girls night out". In anticipation of a little post-nuptial naughtiness, a family friend followed a recent Hollywood trend and threw a sex toy demonstration party for the actress.

The Bridal Registry: This Beverly Hills beauty had no need to worry about receiving multiple blenders from her invited guests. The actress and her fiance registered at Tiffany and Co., where among the items chosen by the couple was a serving tray worth $2,450 and a $300 sterling silver frame to display cherished photos of their special day.

The Ceremony: Twelve bridesmaids preceded down the aisle before the actress took her father's arm for their walk to a gazebo bedecked with magnolias and white roses, where underneath the bride's intended waited for her. Four hundred guests from Tinseltown's past and present, including Bob Newhart, Ed McMahon, and "90210" alumni Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering and Tiffani Thiessen watched the exchange of vows beneath a sky dotted with white balloons, which were used both for aesthetics and to prevent the intrusion of the paparazzi, who circled overhead in helicopters.

The Dress: Taking her cue from the flapper era, Tori worked closely with designers Badgley Mischka to create her full-length white gown adorned with intricate beadwork hand-sewn in India-- the signature look for the famous designer label. The sparkle of beads was rivaled only by the flash of diamonds and platinum in the bride's 2.5 carat drop earrings, her bracelet, and flower-patterned headband which attached to a long veil.

The Reception: Family and friends alike gathered to enjoy a performance by Michael Feinstein, then dined on artichoke ravioli and their choice of either lamb or fish, all prepared by renowned chef Wolfgang Puck, who also concocted an airy lemon souffle for dessert.

Before their departure, guests received a dainty silver champagne bottle etched with the names of the bride and groom, who offered the presents as a token of appreciation for those who helped to make their day even more memorable.

Special Moments: Known as an avid animal lover, Tori wanted to include her pets in the event, so after the ceremony she and her new husband posed for photos in full wedding regalia with their dogs.
