14 Star Couples Proved That Happiness Loves Silence and Had Secret Weddings

Many celebrities want their weddings to be the best party in the world. But some stars try to make it as low-key as possible, and manage to do it so well that there are very few photos or videos from these events online.

Melanie Lynskey and Jason Ritter

Melanie Lynskey and Jason Ritter got married in 2020, 7 years after they met. Melanie says their wedding was spontaneous: “I got married cause someone was like, ’Jason, won’t get into Canada unless you’re married,’ which just wasn’t true, I panicked. It was actually a very fun wedding day.” The ceremony was organized in the porch of their small, rented house in Atlanta. Only 2 friends were there, and they brought a cake and flowers.

Eliza Taylor and Bob Morley

Morley and Taylor secretly tied the knot in June 2019, and their wedding was on a mountaintop in Hawaii. They said, “We weren’t trying to break the internet, we weren’t trying to hurt our ex-partners, we were in love. Plain and simple.”

Ian Harding and Sophie Hart

Ian Harding secretly married Sophie Hart back in October of 2019. The couple took their privacy so seriously that the public only found out about their wedding 2 years later, when Harding published a photo on his social media, and attentive fans noticed a ring on his finger.

Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Bobby Bones and Caitlin Parker

Bobby Bones and Caitlin Parker kept the details of their wedding in secret because they wanted to protect the privacy of their guests. They had a small wedding in their house in Nashville, surrounded by their friends and family. Bones said, “We love home. We picked this place out together — that was really one of the first decisions that we made as a couple. And so she thought, ’What if we got married here?’ ”

Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham got married last year after 35 years of friendship. Their wedding was attended only by their old friend, who married them. Edwards said, “We’re too old to throw weddings.”

Aubrey Plaza and Jeff Baena

In May 2021, Aubrey Plaza said she married movie director Jeff Baena, who she’d been dating for 10 years. The actress said that they were bored once, she came across a website that could marry anyone in 1 hour, told Jeff about it, and he said, “We probably couldn’t get married that fast.” 2 hours after they called the service, a priest wearing a Hawaiian shirt and carrying a briefcase appeared on their doorstep. So, they had a ceremony in their backyard with an altar of love and a rosemary wreath Plaza made herself.

Anna Faris and Michael Barrett

Anna Faris accidentally let slip that she married cinematographer Michael Barrett. Even her family found out about it only 4 days later. Their small wedding took place on the San Juan Island in the state of Washington. Anna said it was her decision not to have a big wedding: “With a little bit of age, you don’t need the whole thing.”
