Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's lavish July wedding, with its star-studded guest list from India and abroad, was undoubtedly one of the most talked-about events of this year. However, it was not the only wedding that made headlines in 2024. Be it actor couple Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden, or singer Lana del Rey who chose close-knit ceremonies or celebs like Millie Bobby Brown and Aditi Rao Hydari who went for more elaborate dos, every event was picture-perfect. Others like Keerthy Suresh and Rebel Wilson, even chose to have double ceremonies to ensure they got to respect all faiths and include their nearest and dearest on the big day.
Here's a look back at some of the most memorable celebrity weddings of 2024.
Keerthy Suresh and Antony Thattil
Actress Keerthy Suresh tied the knot with longtime boyfriend, entrepreneur Antony Thattil, in Goa on December 12 in a traditional Hindu ceremony. The couple also had a glamorous white wedding with a stunning Goa sunset as the backdrop. The Baby John actress looked radiant on both occasions, and what stood out were the spontaneity and joy in all her photos. Antony made a grand entrance in a top-down convertible. The ceremonies, attended by their close friends and family, saw Keerthy’s cute Shih Tzu, named Nyke (a blend of AntoNY and KEerthy), almost steal the spotlight. Keerthy shared her wedding moments and posted pictures from the lively after-party, complete with dancing and fireworks. She first confirmed her 15-year relationship with Antony in an Instagram post on November 27.

The 20-year-old has been in a relationship with actor and model Jake Bongiovi, the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi since 2021. She shared gorgeous photographs from their wedding photoshoot with the caption “forever and always, your wife.” While Brown dazzled in a white lace Oscar de la Renta gown designed by Galia Lahav, Bongiovi looked dapper in a white tuxedo jacket.
