- I always love to hear about celebrity weddings in Italy mostly because they get married in some of the most amazing venues; Salma Hayek’s vows at La Fenice in Venice is one example.

They said their vows at an exclusive hideaway (that doesn’t even have a Web site) owned by British expats. People.com has the details.
