Celebrity weddings in 2013 promised all of the glitz and glamor that the rich and famous enjoyed on their biggest day. Famous people meet, they fall in love, they get married -- and of course, they also get divorced, but this list celebrates the weddings, not the splits. Each year, without fail, celebs get hitched, and they make headlines doing it. Behold, the famous actors, actresses, musicians and sports figures who decided to say their vows in 2013!
