Today is New Year’s Eve, when the champagne keeps on coming, and the resolutions are already written for next year. Now, many think of this is the party day of the year, many see it as the day to truly unwind, and reflect. But there’s also a third category: the people celebrating their wedding anniversaries today!
Have you ever noticed that quite a few celebrity couples have either gotten engaged or married on New Year’s Eve we certainly have, and there are way more people who got married on this day than you may think.
It’s a pretty cool idea when you think about it, truly starting the new year with a new era! We’ve seen couples marry on holidays such as the Fourth of July, Halloween, and even Christmas. But there’s something kinda magical about having your nuptials, your new forever, start on the day before a new year. It’s like a rom-com in of itself.
So not only are these couples celebrating New Year’s Eve, but they’re celebrating their nuptials (well, most of them).
From couples who have been together for decades like Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne to Helen Mirren and Taylor Hackford, to celebrities who are more like newlyweds, such as Maria Menounos and Keven Undergaro, and Jenny Slate and Ben Shattuck, there are way more celebrity couples, and you think who got married on New Year’s Eve.
