13. Idris Elba and Sabrina Dhowre
A lot of thought was put behind actor’s Idris Elba and actress Sabrina Dhowre’s wedding, from the location, to the vows, the guest list, and finally the bride’s gown – and it’s almost impossible to decide what to begin with! Let’s start with the location, since it’s one we’ve never heard of before: we’ve seen weddings on a yacht, weddings in European castles, cowboy weddings at the countryside, but this wedding truly takes first place when it comes to the location: the couple tied the knot in Marrakesh, Morocco, under the Moroccan sunset.
Why Morocco? The bride’s family comes from East Africa, and the groom’s family comes from West Africa, so the couple decided to meet somewhere in the middle – and that’s how they came up with Morocco, which, despite its sometimes questionable reputation, is said to be a beautiful country. The wedding was a proper festival, a three-day celebration at the heart of Morocco. They made their wedding a cultural event, with the groom wearing a customary fabric from his father’s tribe for the main party after the ceremony. This is truly one of the most unique celebrity weddings of the year and perhaps of the decade.
