Celebrity Weddings of 2021: See Which Stars Tied the Knot

First came Alexander Ludwig and Lauren Dear, who announced they’d eloped in Utah following a one-month engagement on January 4. Next up, Jennifer Wayne and Austin Moody wed on January 9 after a two-week engagement. "I'm still in complete shock but I’m humbled and honored to introduce you to Mrs. Moody," the bluegrass musician wrote via Instagram at the time. "Now more than ever, I am able to truly admire and appreciate everything she is. I've never met anyone so kind and generous to people she knows as well as complete strangers. Without even knowing it, she teaches me how to be a better person every day that I am with her. I can’t believe I got to marry my best friend … Jennifer, now I stand before the world a brand new man because of the love you’ve shown me. From this moment on you will never walk alone."

And we just had this really fun, delightful wedding, pretty small, in the back of Jorma Taccone's house,” Forte told People. “It was just a delightful day. My parents were totally surprised. It was so stressful, the two weeks where we were planning. I can't imagine having a year or more to stew over wedding plans. … It's fun to say, 'Wife.’ I've never worn any jewelry in my life and it's fun to wear a wedding ring. It already felt like we were married before. It doesn't feel a lot different, but it's still fun and exciting to say, 'Wife.’”
