Jordan Bratman, Christina Aguilera Wedding in Napa Valley

Who: Christina Aguilera and music executive Jordan Bratman

When: November 19, 2005

Where: The couple were united in matrimony during a 6 P.M. ceremony held at the Staglin Family Winery in Napa Valley, California.

Where Have I Seen The Venue Before? The sun-soaked vineyards and ivy-bedecked Italian-style villa which overlooks the estate are familiar sites to fans for the 1998 remake of the Disney classic The Parent Trap, starring a young Lindsay Lohan.

The Bachelorette Parties: Celebrations for the upcoming nuptials began in September with a bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas. The all-girl troupe stayed at The One & Only Palmilla resort when not partying at Cabo Wabo and the restaurant Mi Casa, where the songbird was spotted wearing a "bride-to-be" diadem and veil.

In October parties for both the prospective bride and groom were held at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Pre-wedding Festivities: A white Phantom Rolls Royce brought guests to the Auberge du Soleil resort in style for days of pre-wedding entertainment, which included a Japanese-themed rehearsal dinner. As the bride and groom felt that the love and support of family and friends was all they required to make their wedding day complete, Christina and Jordan requested that attendees send donations to charities helping the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita in lieu of gifts.

The Ceremony: Like so many couples before them, including Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, Shaunie Nelson and Shaquille O'Neal and Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Christina and her love turned to one-time top South American fashion designer Edgar Zamora of Revelry Event Planning to create the look of their dream nuptials. The stirring voices of a gospel choir announced the arrival of the bride as she began her walk down the aisle in front of 130 guests, including actress Sharon Stone.

The ceremony was a family affair, with even the couple's three dogs in attendance, and as the groom's brother and bride's sister stood by their siblings in the roles of best man and maid of honor Christina received a Stephen Webster-designed wedding band to accompany her 5-carat engagement ring.

The Dress: The bejeweled white flowers which graced the singer's platinum blonde locks sparkled beneath a lace-trimmed veil that honored the bride's Hispanic heritage, its diaphanous material casading over the snow white, v-necked gown created by Christian Lacroix. The bride's attendants donned dresses fashioned by Kai Milla.

The Reception: The soothing strains of a 14-piece orchestra had serenaded the couple during the ceremony, and as guests gathered inside a white tent erected on the grounds for the occasion the bride took the mike to perform a touching rendition of "At Last" before stirring up the crowd with "Lady Marmelade."

The Honeymoon: Although the festivities had continued well into the early morning hours the newlyweds, who spent their first night as husband and wife back at Auberge du Soleil, were seen strolling arm in arm through the streets of St. Helene the following day. The couple dropped by the stationery store Pennyweight and selected toys for their canine companions at Fideaux before grabbing lunch at Taylor's Refresher.
