Wedding rumors surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce dominated headlines this week. With speculations around a holiday celebration, fans wonder if the dates are unusual. However, she is not the first celebrity to choose the Fourth of July as a wedding date.
A look at the historic Hollywood stars who traded traditional dates to tie the knot over America’s biggest holiday weekend
The idea of having a Fourth of July wedding has appealed to couples in Hollywood for many years. Traditionally, this long weekend provides an opportunity for families to get together, have summer parties, and, of course, enjoy fireworks. However, an ENews report takes a glimpse into the past, reminiscing about other celebrities who tied the knot on America’s biggest holiday weekend.
One of the most well-known Fourth of July weddings occurred in 2002. Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder invited their close friends to what seemed like a barbecue party. Guests later discovered that they were actually attending the couple’s wedding ceremony. Over two decades later, they still fondly celebrate their wedding anniversary, sharing sweet posts.
Billy Joel did something similar by surprising guests with an unexpected wedding. He invited guests for his annual holiday gathering in 2015. And then to everyone’s pleasant surprise, the singer exchanged vows with Alexis Roderick.
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani chose July 3, 2021, for their intimate wedding ceremony at Shelton’s home in Oklahoma. Their wedding took place a day before Independence Day. This wedding quickly became one of the biggest wedding stories to hit the entertainment industry that year.
Other well-known celebrity couples have also selected this date for their special day. Ozzy and Sharon married on July 4, 1982, while Tina Turner and Erwin Bach chose the date after decades of dating.
Whether Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce actually marry this weekend is still not confirmed. However, if they do proceed with the reported plan, they would be joining many other A-list stars who chose America’s special day as their wedding day.
