While the marriage was certainly filled with love, their divorce was finalized about five years later.
Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley

Robbie and Ackerley had been together for years before tying the knot, so the public was thrilled to hear about their private Australian wedding ceremony in 2016.
The event was so secret that even the 50 participants did not know the location.
Instead, they were told to meet at various locations around the town of Byron Bay and then bused to the actual location.
Phones and cameras were even taken away by security forces.
Jay Z and Beyoncé

They tied the knot at City Hall in New York, with Ratajkowski wearing a mustard yellow Zara pantsuit and Bear-McClard wearing a casual lilac one.
