Celebrity Wedding - Billy Joel & Katie Lee

Piano rock legend Billy Joel recently got hitched to TV host and culinary artist Katie Lee, who is 32 years younger than the mega-selling musician. Joel, who was famously married to “Uptown Girl” Christie Brinkley until the early 90s, wanted his third marriage to stick, so he went all out with a to die for ceremony. The wedding was held at Joel's 15 acre oceanside Long Island mansion, where guests were treated to an outdoor, “Italian harvest feast.” Katie Lee looked spectacular in a sleeveless Oscar De La Renta gown made from Chantilly lace that featured a scalloped hemline. After the couple exchanged vows, Katie slipped into a black Dolce and Gabanna dress with aquamarine jewels for the remainder of the evening. At the reception, guests dined on Italian style dishes and a well stocked buffet of fish, meat and cheeses, and finished their meal with slices of a rich, chocolate covered wedding cake. The couple's famous friends danced the night away and were moved by a special performance of Joel singing his first new pop song in over a decade, “All My Life,” which he wrote for his new wife. So how can you have a Joel inspired wedding without selling as many records as The Piano Man has in order to afford it? You can rent out space at a mansion for your wedding site, and use it as a dramatic background for your outdoor wedding and reception. Take a cue from Joel's wedding day menu and serve a nice, multi course Italian meal, including a desert buffet that doesn't skimp on the cannolis. And you can't beat Katie's sense of style, so try and emulate it by mixing a traditional gown look with something a little trendier... like the mix of lace with a scalloped hemline. You don't have to be a Grammy winning superstar to have a celebrity wedding. But if all goes well, you sure can feel like one.
