Guess who got married last Friday? Yes Howard Stern and long-time girlfriend, Beth Ostrosky! Compared to his TV persona, it appears that Howard’s wedding is a tad tame!

As if further proof was needed that the man behind the tinted glasses and forest of curly hair is not the same off the air as he is on, Howard Stern’s wedding on Friday to longtime girlfriend model Beth Ostrosky was shocking mostly for how tame it was. No strippers, no topless fire-eating midgets, no professional farters.

The wedding took place at the ritzy Le Cirque restaurant in Manhattan, and the bride wore a traditional white chiffon gown for the ceremony, which was officiated by Kelly Ripa’s husband, ordained minister/actor Mark Consuelos. Billy Joel sang “The Stranger” during the reception.

Stern had long said he would not wed Ostrosky for fear that making it official would ruin the couple’s romance. The talk jock was married to his long-suffering first wife, Alison Berns, for 23 years a romance he paid tribute to in his “Private Parts” movie.

“It’s a nice feeling that we get along great,” Stern, 54, explained in 2006 of his hesitation to get married again. “We’re very happy, and I don’t want to f— it up.”

Did you know that Liza Minnelli and David Gest’s wedding was the most expensive celebrity wedding ever! The estimated cost of the wedding is approximately $5 million.

Wow! I’m speechless. $5 million big ones for a wedding!

Oscar-winning entertainer Liza Minnelli wed producer David Gest in March 2002 in New York City’s Marble Collegiate Church. The over-the-top nuptials featured Best Man Michael Jackson and Maid of Honor Elizabeth Taylor. Among the 500 or so guests at the reception were superstars Diana Ross, Lauren Bacall and Mia Farrow. Backed by a 60-piece orchestra, Tony Bennett entertained VIPs, who feasted on a 12-tier wedding cake and received personalized favors encased in satin candy boxes embossed “Liza and David 4 Ever.” (The pair divorced the next year.)

With the current economic climate, I am sure many couples planning their weddings are having to consider wedding budgetary issues.

You don’t have to spend more than what is sensible to have a gorgeous wedding. There are ways to cut on costs and still have a memorable wedding that you can reminisce through the years :-)

Here are some tips for you from Ant and Dick wedding planners:

• Wedding fairs are ideal place to find a reasonable wedding package — If you book there and then, you can attract major discounts. And haggle - you have to treat them like Turkish stall holders.
• Get married at home — We all know somebody with a big house or a big garden. Its all about roping in the people around you. A friend can take photographs, a friend can do the cake, a friend can do the stationery.
• Do your own catering — it doesn’t have to be a five course meal. It can be a beautiful buffet.

• Go Vintage with your wedding dress — many brides are now saving hundreds by going for vintage instead of new - after all, you only wear it for one day. If you go online to eBay or Oxfam, youll find designer dresses for pennies because a lot of people want rid of them - for whatever reason.
• Flowers — rather than having a huge big bouquet, a nice single flower like a lily or a gerbera can be very effective. You can create a really stunning piece by doing very little.
• Wedding accessories — Stick on a couple of nice accessories and it looks like youve paid a couple of hundred quid.
