Carrie Underwood Wedding Makes the Cover of People

Awwww! That was so sweet what her husband said: “I was thanking God for her, for that moment. It’s something I’ll never forget.”

She looks beautiful!

Too bad that cover was spoiled by Mel Gibson’s picture. Dude is straight up psycho. I heard those tapes and he needs meds. stat.

As always, Carrie looks beautiful. I wish they would have put Mike in the big picture, though!

Didn’t People pay Carrie a lot of money for the exclusive on her wedding? Is she donating the money like Brad and Angelina did when they gave an exclusive interview/photo session of their twins?

Why is it that this whole wedding brings to mind “Legally Blond”…the pink, the dog outfit, the dress (it has to look better than what I can see on the picture), the silly tiara. I just have this vision in my mind of all of Carrie’s sorority sisters fainting from excitement during the ceremony.

That all sounds absolutely hideous. The poor dog!

I happy that Carrie and Mike were happy with their wedding. After all it is really their day. I think it seemed like a wonderful time. I wouldn’t have turned down an invitation. :-)

Haha, even Mike was wondering about Ace’s tux:

“Mike was like, ‘He’s in pink! What are you doing?’ ” the newlywed singer says of Ace’s tux. “But he looked so handsome.”

I think there were aspects of the wedding that Carrie just wanted to have fun with and get silly about and Ace’s tux was one of them. That balanced out the spirituality and sentimentality of the ceremony and the fact that it’s a wedding. By all accounts Carrie and Mike didn’t want the wedding to be stuffy and by all accounts it wasn’t. Carrie was expecting something funny to happen with her 2 year old nephew being the ringbearer along with Ace so she definitely wasn’t about things being very uptight and formal.

Carrie definitely has a huge cheeseball aspect to her and she is NOT afraid to show it. I think it’s funny and it shows she doesn’t take herself so seriously.

undercooked: Didn’t People pay Carrie a lot of money for the exclusive on her wedding? Is she donating the money like Brad and Angelina did when they gave an exclusive interview/photo session of their twins?

Neither of them like publicizing their own private donations. Carrie has publicized donations that are done in tandem with organizations like the Pedigree Adopt A Pet Drive but not her own personal ones. My opinion is they are likely to donate the money but I don’t think there’ll ever be proof either way.

I’m ridiculously happy for Carrie and Mike and wish them the best. Can’t wait to see all the pictures in People!

Carrie looks beautiful. Would love to see a picture of that dress in full. Wish them all the luck and happiness.

Would love to see a picture of that dress in full.

Yeah! I REALLY wanna see the whole dress– the cover shot has her covered by her huge bouquet. I wanna see all the pics– her cocktail dress, the reception hall, the cupcakes, all of it! Ha, I love pretty things.

Haha, even Mike was wondering about Ace’s tux

Haha, poor dog. The pink tux on a boy dog, and the wall to wall pink reception… that sounds… hmm, hilarious yes, but if Carrie and Mike can have a sense of humor about it, then that’s all that matters. I thought the tiara looks pretty though.

From Ottawa Citizen:

Meanwhile, Fisher spent the morning hours of his wedding day getting in a few rounds of golf with his groomsmen.

Sigh, sooo unfair. Having been in a couple bridal parties, the morning is SO packed full of things to do for the bride and bridesmaids. Meanwhile, the groomsmen can sleep in, chill out, golf, then throw on a tux.

Not a fan of that dress, well from what I could see. And the dog in a pink tux with crystals on it? Oy vey. Ditto on the wall to wall pink. Sounds like it would be like getting married in Pepto Bismal. Charming.

But hey, it’s Carrie’s wedding to make as tacky and outre as she and her husband like. Not as if the wedding is really imporant, it’s the marriage that’s important. So hope she has a happy one.

Painted pucks bore the guest’s table assignments.

Okay, this image? Will never not be funny.

I’m also wondering if she responded to every question about the surfeit of pink with “It’s my signatuh coloh.”

Awwwwww that’s adorable–and she looks beautiful

Wall-to-wall pink, eh? I guess I imagined something more….sophisticated for Carrie. Perhaps other peoples’ taste for her is better than her own taste for herself. Ultimately, though, having a good marriage is far more important than having a good wedding!

It’s ridiculous how pretty Carrie is.

Ditto on the wall to wall pink. Sounds like it would be like getting married in Pepto Bismal. Charming.

Maybe the walls were a really pale, almost white pink…?

Well, IMO it is the bride’s day, to have as she wishes, to enjoy and have fond memories. Yes, it’s true that the groom and his attendants get to chill– killing time the morning before a wedding last year, I saw a warehouse near the church full of all kinds of dusty, discounted junk and while browsing I bumped into the groom, doing the same thing.
I am so happy for this couple that obviously are taking their commitment seriously, and I bet it was all lovely. Carrie does come from a family of girls, so if things were pink and girly, who cares? The last wedding I went to had birds’ nests as centerpieces, and it was all really cute, in keeping with the bride’s personality.

I’m going to grump here, so if it rains on your enthusiasm you better skip this post.

Weddings are wonderful, congrats to the happy couple. But geez Louise. So much public hoopla, so much PR, and enough $$ spent to feed a starving country for a month.

I don’t begrudge people their fun, but at a time when so many people are doing without there’s something just, well, appalling to me about the execessiveness.

The size and gaudiness and marketing of a wedding seems to have so little to do with how people are in their marriage. It’s seems to be more about PR than intimacy and commitment to me. And it sets a “standard” that I can imagine young women desperately trying to approximate, even if it means going into hock for a long, long time.

Years ago my musician brother played a celeb wedding in California that took place at a huge country estate, included a big orchestra, a dozen attendants, caviar flown in from Russia, etc. etc. The famous couple lasted four years together. Needless to say, the actress bride’s second wedding was a lot simpler and more private….

I am happy Carrie and Mike experienced such a lovely day. You have that first marriage only once. May they remain together for always and forever. We attended a wedding on Saturday which was very simple yet also beautiful. May this couple (Gina and Jim) remain together for always and forever.

The size and gaudiness and marketing of a wedding seems to have so little to do with how people are in their marriage. It’s seems to be more about PR than intimacy and commitment to me.

It was a hotel wedding in Georgia with 250 guests… is that considered huge? I’ve been to “intimate” weddings that were that size. It seems like Carrie took pains to make sure her guests enjoyed themselves at the resort, and kept the media out entirely during the wedding. She’s providing some quotes and details and some pictures to People after the fact. This doesn’t seem like a lot of PR to me.

So she wore a tiara, a huge dress, and had pink walls and a dog in a tux– I find those details kind of endearing and quirky, but maybe it’s a sign of gaudy excess to some. I just went to a wedding with lots of pink, where the bride wore a huge dress, and had a tiara, and it was a totally “normal” wedding. I’ve been to two weddings where the dog was a ringbearer, and one where the groom hired a plane to fly over the guests with a congratulations message, and these were all down to earth couples. They’re all still together (granted, it hasn’t been four years yet, and everyone’s still in their 20s, but I have seen no signs yet that these couples won’t last past four years). Call me crazy, but I think people are allowed a couple extravagances for their wedding. From what I could tell, Carrie kept her wedding pretty moderate sized and personal, and took extra measures to protect her guests’ privacy. Not sure it compares to the gaudiness/marketing of this actress bride’s first wedding that you just described. JMO.

And it sets a “standard” that I can imagine young women desperately trying to approximate, even if it means going into hock for a long, long time.

If the half-million figure is true, then the wedding was 3 percent of their combined estimated annual income. For a middle-class couple making $70,000 a year combined, that means that they should be spending $2,100 on a wedding. The problem is that most people making that kind of money spend well beyond that for the day.

They didn’t invite a massive number of guests. 250 people when they have large extended families and many business associates is not unreasonable. They didn’t put most of the budget to frippery, but rather the unfortunately necessary expenses of lodging and security to insure their privacy.

Did she buy a designer gown that’s out of most people’s reach? Yes. Did they get flowers and accessories that most people wouldn’t get? Yes. Is a dog tux pretty ridiculous? Yes. But having a musician that they personally admire come to sing a meaningful song does not strike me as excess for excess’s sake. Neither does a cupcake tower or locally made pie for dessert.

I know I wouldn’t want a wedding like that [too much pink], but they did not remotely spend beyond their means and most of their expenses were to share a meaningful experience with their guests. If everyone followed those guidelines, the wedding industry would be a lot saner than it is.

I don’t believe her colors were wall to wall pink. They were “Blush” and “Bashful”. :)

I’m a simple gal so a simple wedding for me. Carrie wanted to feel like a princess so she gave herself a princess wedding. I gotta feeling that Carrie WAS NOT a bridezilla. She seems to laid back for that. It sounds like she had a wonderful time. Good luck to her and her husband.

Carrie looks lovely as always, but I thought the hair and dress would be bigger, per her post-engagement interviews. I am so disappointed. (Not really. LOL)

Nice work on the Steel Magnolias references, ya’ll! I personally like pink. :)

There may be a story behind the tiara because Carrie’s said Mike’s pet name for her is “princess”. I strongly suspect that this is sometimes a term of endearment and sometimes something he calls her to tease her. Or it could just be something he gave her because he thought she’d look pretty wearing it. But we should probably be grateful Carrie didn’t give Mike a memento to wear in line with her pet name for him because that would’ve meant he’d be on the cover of People wearing a big silver and diamond-studded cowboy hat.

Maybe the walls were a really pale, almost white pink…?

I just keep on picturing it being the colour pink of her dress in the picture they keep using of her here lately. The one where she is sitting with Mike. And great right on queue, “Come on Barbie, let’s go party!” is stuck in my head.

Though this wedding and it’s wall to wall pink, tiara’s, the dog with a pink tux with crystals on it, would probably fit in just fine with Barbie’s Dream House or Barbie’s Dream Car –the pink corvette.

Truthiness‘s horror over Carrie’s CMT Pepto dress is so entertaining, I’m not sure if I want the decor to be a matching color or not! For serious, I felt for you when Kirsten used that picture again for the Monday Mediabase thread.

E News Now has a scan of one of the pictures inside People so you can get a sense of what Carrie’s wedding dress looked like and also the decor inside the wedding tent :)

Awww, that wasn’t gaudy at all IMO, it was quite pretty!

I am sentimental as hell, so of course I’m getting a little teary eyed right now. They looked sssoo happy. I am lame. :D

No worries, I’m not really that bothered by it. Maybe just…disturbed. And mean Kirsten for using that picture. I think she did it on purpose. Harumpf.

Well from what I could tell from the YouTube, not so overwhelmingy pink, so there is that. But nope, not a fan of that dress.

But hey, she looks happy, and the groom looks happy, I’m sure their friends and family were happy, so that’s all that is really imporant.

I’ve been to two weddings where the dog was a ringbearer, and one where the groom hired a plane to fly over the guests with a congratulations message, and these were all down to earth couples.

Holy moley! My dog would eat the ring.

Awww, they look so happy :) . Wishing them the best!

Ever watch Bridezillas, or Platinum Weddings? Or Who’s Wedding Is It Anyway? There are common folks out there who arent superstars and they have far more extravagant weddings. Some dont even have the kind of money Carrie and Mike have and they just spend and spend and spend. Beyonce ans Jay-Zs wedding cost 3 million dollars if you wanna talk over the top.

She is a pretty girl and looks happy but that dress…..ugh. Sorry but the dog in a Swarovski crystal-encrusted pink tuxedo much less in the wedding party was gag inducing. I don’t think anyone can top the wedding that Celine Dion had – that was completely over the top.

Still can’t get over the poor dog – I loathe people dressing up animals.

Carrie’s husband looks right out of central casting.

Her hair looks messy in that picture…like she just hastily threw it up to do housework. And yeah not liking the dress either. For some reason, I pictured her hair and dress much more classy as well as the ceremony details, which sound anything but classy. Oh well hope the sex is good since they waited til the wedding night.

Holy moley! My dog would eat the ring.

The dogs didn’t have the actual ring! Just like my little cousin didn’t have my sister’s rings. Ringbearers- little kids, dogs, they usually just carry a cute little pillow thing, while the best man has the rings in his pocket.

What does that expression mean?

Low quality scan of the short dress Carrie was wearing at the wedding reception:

I’m happy for her.:)

some of you sound so insecure. lol

Wow! The short dress is indeed short! I bet Mike couldn’t wait to rip it off of her that night! LOL!

Apparently it is confirmed that Carrie and Mike are donating the money received for their wedding photos to charity. This is from Country Aircheck which is one of the major country publications with industry info and Mediabase charts.

Country Aircheck 7/14

» Puttin’ On The Glitz: 19/Arista’s Carrie Underwood wears her Monique Lhuillier wedding gown on Friday’s (7/16) exclusive People cover. “The wedding dress was huge,” Carrie says. “I wanted to get my boogie on, so I had to change.” She also dished about her dog Ace, who wore a Swarovski crystal-encrusted pink tuxedo to the ceremony. The couple are donating the money received for the photos to charity. Mrs. Fisher’s first national media appearance will be on the July 30 Today Show. Read more here.

Well congrats, Carrie Underwood Fisher! Yay!! She looks absolutely stunning. I will be picking up the mag next time I’m out at the store. As far as expenses, I don’t think her wedding was all that extravagant. No, she didn’t elope for a $200 Elvis impersonator but there are celebrity/socialite/CEO tycoon weddings upwards of 6-12 million or worse for the ceremony. That’s ridiculous to me.
I attended a friend’s 18th Bday that cost just a smidge over 800 thousand. I’m still shocked the placemats weren’t made of threaded hundred dollar bills. I mean, SERIOUSLY!

I’m glad Carrie and Mike got their special day and it sounds like everyone had a good time. I wanna see pics too and hear more about the guest list. And I gotta say, I never considered Mike much of a looker (even tho I adore Carrie) but those photos of him at LAX airport… Mmmhmm, I drooled! :)

Congratulations to Mike & Carrie Fisher, May God bless your marriage.
It’s really lovely wedding decorations, besides all the guests were pampered with exclusive treatments and facilities of those luxurious hotel. Nice

Unfortunately there are no mentioned the guest lists. I read someone said in the US Magz. mentioned Garth Brook and David Cook were among the guest, and I saw Simon Fuller at the scanned picture.
