Celebrity Wedding

There was a surprise guest at Nicole Richie and Joel Madden's wedding this weekend? An Elephant.

The elephant had an elaborate headdress and was on the premises of Lionel Richie's Beverly Hills estate. There were 150 guests at the wedding, but Paris Hilton was not in attendance. The bride wore 3 different wedding dresses all by Marchesa. I haven't seen pictures yet, but I'm sure they will be on new stands soon.

Now why was the elephant there? The answer lies in an interview Nicole gave way back in November 2005. On "Larry King Live," she told guest host Ryan Seacrest all about her wedding plans. "I want to have a very, very big wedding. I want it to be very extravagant. I want like hundreds of people and elephants ... and a horse and carriage." Why elephants- Nicole said they are really good luck. Wow- are elephants the new celebrity trend. Hopefully there marriage can last. Good luck to them..Enjoy!
