Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake
Celebrities love to splurge on weddings, even if it's their second (or third) time around. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are tying the knot this weekend and are sparing no expense for their French and Italian nuptials.
It's been rumored that the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star will make up to $21 million from her wedding from photos and video taken for her popular E! series. It's entirely conceivable she and Kanye will actually profit from the affair.
They aren't the only ones who've spent a ton of money on their wedding.
In 2012, singer Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel reportedly dropped $6.5 million on their southern Italian nuptials.  Biel wore a pale pink gown, and the pair exchanged handwritten vows.
The Roots drummer Questlove was the DJ at the reception, where Timberlake sang to his new wife. Jimmy Fallon, Timbaland and Biel's former "7th Heaven" co-star Beverly Mitchell were among the guests.
They rented out an entire hotel and closed down nearby buildings to keep paparazzi from the ceremony. The couple spent a week prior to the event hanging out in Europe and celebrating with friends and family.
The pair are happily still together.

Actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes also selected Italy as their go-to spot to tie the knot back in 2006.  The pair rented out a 15th-century castle outside Rome and reportedly spent $2 million on the event.
Holmes donned a gown by Armani, and celebrity guests included Will Smith and his wife Jada, Jennifer Lopez, and Victoria and David Beckham.
Cruise sang the Righteous Brothers' hit "You've Lost That Loving Feeling," made famous by his film "Top Gun."
Despite their splashy ceremony, the couple split five years later.

Kim Kardashian's wedding to NBA star Kris Humphries in October 2011 cost somewhere between $6 and $10 million, depending on the source. It was her second walk down the aisle.
The reality star wore a Vera Wang gown reportedly inspired by the one Pippa Middleton wore to the royal wedding in England earlier in the year. Celebrity guests included Eva Longoria, and Lindsay Lohan.
The ceremony was held at a private estate in Montecito, Calif., in August 2012. The flowers cost $2 million, food was $750,000, invitations were $10,000 and her extravagant headpiece was valued at $2.5 million.
The couple split up just 72 days later.
