Chris Pratt & Katherine Schwarzenegger got married over the weekend. The wedding went down on Saturday at the San Ysidro Ranch. Sources emphasized that it was a light summer menu and what was probably a nice summer wedding, nothing too frou-frou but also appropriate for a Kennedy-adjacent. I wasn’t surprised that they got married so quickly – their whole courtship and engagement seemed fast, but it also seemed like they both just had that instant-click. I’m actually happy for them. They’re churchy, but I feel like they’re a really good match and I hope they last. Anyway, Chris and Katherine both posted one photo from their wedding on their individual Instagram accounts. It was the same photo and the same message though:
Yesterday was the best day of our lives! We became husband and wife in front of God, our families and those we love. It was intimate, moving and emotional. We feel so blessed to begin this new chapter of our lives. We are so thankful to our families and our friends who stood with us, and grateful to Mr Giorgio Armani, who created a once in a lifetime dress for me to wear,
and for Chris, the perfect suit.This morning we feel nothing but blessed.
Thoughts on the Armani dress? It was also what I expected – something pretty, sleeveless, with a train, nothing crazy, nothing avant-garde. That’s not their thing. And while her dress isn’t my favorite thing in the world, she looks very pretty and like she’s perfectly happy with her wedding, her dress and her groom.
Also: I saw some speculation in yesterday’s comments about whether Katherine is already knocked up and that’s why the wedding seemed to happen so quickly. I mean, she totally could be, but I also think that their wedding was always going to be this month? It’s when Chris had some time off from work, and Katherine and Maria Shriver have been planning the wedding since the engagement. Maria also threw her a bridal shower in late April, about five weeks before the wedding, so I think this was always the timeline. If Katherine is preg, congrats to them. I kind of think she’s not, but that she will be soon.

I like the dress and overall look, a lot. She looks lovely. Congrats to the newlyweds.
She’s grown up to be the image of her mother, Maria.
She definitely got her hair from Maria. In some pictures, her features also strongly resemble her great grandmother Rose.
Those Kennedy genes are STRONG, that’s for sure (and I don’t mean that in a bad way, they just seem to stomp on everything else in their gene pool!)
The ranch is a beautiful spot and has only reopened this spring after lots of damage in the Montecito mudslides. I got married there many many years ago and famously John and Jackie honeymooned there. There’s a wonderful photo at the hotel of them hand in hand in the California sun enjoying themselves. So there is a Kennedy connection. Ty Warner, of beanie baby fame, now owns the hotel as well as many other high end properties in Santa Barbara.
Awe! Congrats to them!!! He looks like he really loves her. Wish he would have shaved for the big day… but they both looked nice.
Lol I was thinking the same thing. Scruff is sexy and all but on your wedding day looks unkempt. Either shave or have a neatly trimmed beard.
I think he uses scruff as his “contour”. If he’d shaved, the roundness of his face would have been more noticeable. His face is round and pale and the transition to his neck isn’t as defined if he’s clean shaven. The photos would not have been as flattering.
The dress is pretty and nicely fitted. I love all the fluff and volume of the veil. The only change I’d make is the bit of extra lace at the armpit. The area between breast and armpit is not the prettiest, difficult to fit, and seems an odd choice to accentuate.
I noticed the lace accent too. It looks out of place.
The dress is nice and beautifully fitted.
The bride looks radiant.
Seriously that’s one of the areas I’m most self conscious about on my body. Even at my thinnest, when I had no more boobs to speak of (thanks kids) I still have these folds even with working out and doing all the exercises they say to get rid of them. So I hate strapless dresses because they just emphasize them. I’m fascinated by women that don’t have this problem.
I have the same issue, and think the side lace is exactly because of those skin folds. On one side, it looks like she has that type of migrated-tissue/fat fold.
Everyone has them! Everyone! They can be shooped out (or probably lipo’d, ugh) but seriously. It’s like being unhappy about having knees.
I wish we could get over this whole judging of body parts thing. It is an impossible standard. Having body fat is normal. (And more cuddly!) 🙂
No, not everyone has them. My sister doesn’t, my sister in law doesn’t, and a lot of my friends don’t and I can tell you none of them have had surgery of any kind to remove them. They just don’t have fat that lingers there like some of us. Just like some people carry fat in their midsections differently then others some of us carry it differently in our chest area. It’s an insecurity I have just like everyone else has an insecurity about themselves, except for you I guess. And no it’s not like being unhappy about having knees, that’s silly.
🤷♂️ i like the soft armpit. I barely ever notice it and id certainly never think it looked bad
That dress is perfection. And I guess we can put to rest the pregnacny rumours. Congrats to them both.
Not my favorite dress. It’s a classic sweetheart column lace dress but looks like a my little pony tail of lace exploding or the back which conflicts with the clean lines. She looks happy and that’s the most important.
I never warmed up to Chris after the nude stunt on Parks n Rec. As if Amy P can’t have a real surprise reaction without his surprise nudity.
@ ELIZA-I’d never heard of this! What a douche. Poor Amy. UGHHHH.
I don’t like him for all the animal issues, especially the cat with Anna. I thought one of the comments was sadly funny where they said that Katherine should get chipped just in case she’s too much of a burden on him and leaves her out in the street since he’s done that before with other things he’s supposedly loved.
And he says he hunts because he likes to kill animals. I just can’t …
The more you look at her, the prettier she becomes. It’s weird how that happens with some people. You don’t notice how beautiful they are at first glance. She grows on you. She looks gorgeous on her wedding day.
I totally agree! At first glance, she is very girl-next-door, but she really is a stunning woman.
Agree. She is very beautiful.
Beautiful woman BUT urgh I’m so over sweetheart cut wedding dresses!!! That’s been the go to look since What 2012+?? I married in cap sleeves with a cowl back cut dress because I wanted a classic look that you couldn’t immediately guess the year we married( and fit my budget). When they have money and resources I always hope the bride will think outside the box and wow people with a truly original dress! Again she’s beautiful but since I’m married already, I like to live vicariously through these wedding dresses & this one looks like so many others I’ve seen & weddings ive attended. Congrats to them tho!
…and strapless as well.
That’s what I meant initially STRAPLESS!! But her wedding right… **shrug**
As a woman with big boobs, I love a sweetheart neckline. Straight necklines give me a boob shelf. My wedding dress had a sweetheart neckline and is one of the most flattering dresses I’ve ever owned. I’ve worn it since as a party dress and my boobs look good every time. Katy S is not that endowed, but there is a reason the neckline persists, it’s flattering.
Yes, if you have small breasts a sweetheart neckline is flattering, too. I personally love it.
Strapless,.ugh. However she is truly beautiful, but she has inherited great bone structure from both sides.
Way, way before that. I’d say the ’50s at least. It’s a flattering cut for most women.
Edit: I see the crit was for strapless wedding dresses – also very popular since at least the ’50s. (Moderation lag! Hi, mods! Thank you for keeping this place keen and kind!)
The fit on her gown is perfection. Per. Fection.
I would expect no less – particularly from bespoke Armani – but I see so many poorly fitted gowns on red carpets and even at the Oscars! So it’s always a pleasant surprise.
Zac Posen and Christian Siriano are two of the best at fit, and they probably do multiple fittings to get it right. Siriano studied with both Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood, so I can see where he gets it. IDK where Posen studied but his fit is flawless too.
She’s gorgeous and looks so happy!
Guarantee she’s pregnant, though. I’d put my apartment on it (if I could actually afford to own property, but yknow)
No way she’s pregnant. She had a June wedding at a popular venue. This was well planned.
I assumed it happened quickly because they don’t believe in pre-marital sex and they wanted to git it.
Eh, just wait for it.
I’d honestly be prepared to bet large sums of money on this, that’s how confident I am. Granted, it would probably count as insider trading/cheating, but still. We got a tip in our newsroom and it’s pretty conclusive, but it can’t be reported until there’s an official announcement.
Do you guys really think that 6 months is too soon to get married after an engagement announcement? He gave her the ring in early January, didn’t he? I’m willing to bet that Maria booked this wedding venue as soon as she saw how serious her daughter and Chris were in their relationship, well before Chris popped the question. But still, 6 months isn’t that short a time for many people. And I am curious. How long should they have waited? 1 year? 2 years?
That dress is awfully fitted for an expectant bride, and as Originaltessa says, the San Ysidro ranch books way out, even for celebrities.
I believe she is too! She’s slim so she probably won’t be showing for a bit and could easily have fit into that dress with no problem (my cousin bumped up her wedding by 4 months and wore a dress almost identical to this, she was pregnant but didn’t think ppl would figure it out. She didn’t look pregnant but we done knew!!!!!)
Even slim women can get the horrible bloat of the first trimester.
@frankly they were living together and i doubt in separate bedrooms
@frankly
U really think they waited until marriage? Chris is religious but u think that religious? I’m not sure as they were living together before marriage too. To each their own but man I couldn’t hold out
Tilly youre a new reporter??? do tell
we need more insiders in this ish!!!
Uh, no, she’s pregnant.
I don’t think she’s pregnant at all.
Though the ‘quick’ nuptials were probably to make it happen.😉😉😉
Chris turns 40 this year and Katherine turns 30.
I expect a pregnancy to be announced sooner, rather then later.
Agreed. I’m leaning towards a honeymoon baby or very, very soon after. They make a nice couple and will definitely make some cute kids. His son Jack is beyond adorable and just might be itching to be a big brother.
She’s only 30!?
Congratulations to Chris and Katherine!
The best day of Chris Pratt’s life was his second wedding, not even his son’s birth?
Oh ok…
I feel the same way. Wow, dude. Kids struggle with divorces anyway but essentially erasing him and his mom, and essentially crowing about how much better his new wife is? Real A+ parenting, Chris.
Yeah… I recently had to tell a guy – Not all thinky-thoughts have to come out of the talky-spout. Okay?
These folks have publicists. They should know by now that their wrods* are gonna hang around the internet for a looooong time.
*not a typo
Given how traumatic his son’s birth was, can’t blame him for not filing that one under “great day.” I bet he considers the day he brought his kid home from the NICU better than the day his kid was born.
I thought that was a bit tacky too.
I had the exact same thought. “Beautiful day,” “Amazing day,” “One of the most special moments in our lives” … All totally and completely acceptable and understandable, but the phrasing used smacks of erasure of your past life, which is extremely uncool when there’s a child created in that last happy-ever-after-that-wasn’t.
@Lena I took it as it’s the best day of “their” lives, meaning together as a couple. During the time before he met Katherine, I’m sure his sons birth was the best day of his life. But I think they just meant as a couple, together.
Sure.. It can be understood from that perspective as well! Didn’t think about it, from a child of divorce, words can mean a lot when they are phrased in a certain way, I think that what got me 🙂
from a gossip stand point I am not really into this couple and kind of wish Chris Pratt was still married to Anna Faris…..I am sure they would care about my opinion but I just loved those 2 together. I have never trusted the Kennedys.
“We became husband and wife in front of God, our families and those we love. It was intimate, moving and emotional, and sponsored by Armani, I mean collectively we have more money that the God we pay lip service too, but still we wanted our wedding sponsored”
“This morning we feel nothing but blessed. We hope that lasts a lifetime, or until I get bored of the old ball and chain here and put her out on the street like so many my cats and dogs before her, high five to Jesus!”
I am extra salty this morning, apparently.
eh I can’t begrudge them their cheesy happy shit, but I do find it a bit off to be throwing in the whole ‘happiest day of our lives’ thing – give he had a wife, wedding and child…apparently this wedding outshines all of that? Kinda rude/awkward.
Technically God only counts his first marriage*, seeing as his first wife is still alive, but luckily he belongs to one of them-there cherrypickin’ churches!
[*Gospel of Luke, chapter & verse I can’t be bothered to Google.]
She’s a beautiful bride, but I don’t like that dress at all. I’m so bored of strapless dresses with a sweetheart neckline, and the train poofing our the back looks weird.
No way she is pregnant. I wouldn’t be surprised if they waited until after they were married. Hence the quick courting. No judgment, if that’s your thing. We will get a pregnancy announcement within the next 5 months! Ha!
I think she looks lovely. He looks like a dude, nothing special.
I think she’s pregnant. I was 10 weeks pregnant with my first at my wedding and wasn’t showing in my midsection at all. However, my dressmaker gave me some extra room in the bust because she had fitted many a pregnant bride and said the boobs were the first to expand. Which, to me, explains the weird lace around her chest/armpit. I wonder if they were there because they had to size up the bust?
I don’t think she is pregnant but I feel it will happen within a year. I think the relationship will work because Katherine will be more available for Chris as she is flexible with her work as a social media influencer and philanthropist. This one to me feels like a better fit than his first go at marriage. Mazel tov.
Is social media influencer her job? All that money, connections, education, and at 30 she’s done nothing. I guess I’m glad she finally found a rich husband?
I heard she gets paid from sponsorship through her IG and other accounts, she wrote a couple of books and raises awareness for charities. Pretty much a lady in waiting for her husband. Sort of like the Middletons.
“social media influencer” is the job description for most celebrity spawns these days – imagine all that money and access, so much good they could do, and that is what they aspire to?
She has written a few books including about self-esteem for girls. I don’t think her future well-being was exactly contingent on marrying rich though, she must have a massive trust fund of her own.
Tourmaline, think of it like a Nicky Hilton situation. Even though she has a huge trust fund she still desired to marry rich. The wealthy seek persons of a similar or higher station in life and prepare their daughters for such.
And now I want to see him in Lederhosen at the Oktoberfest or in Kitzbühl with Arnie – that’s all.
The dress is beautiful and they look happy. However, how on earth did they invite more people to the shower than to the wedding? Isn’t the norm to have a small shower and a larger wedding? I don’t think I’d be pleased if I got invited to the shower and was left out of the wedding. Can someone explain this?
I can’t think of any explanation but you’re 100% right in how odd and downright RUDE it is to be invite to a shower but not the wedding!
Yikes, yeah that’s a bad look to pretty much ask for gifts and then not invite people to the wedding.
As far as the extra basic around the pits, lol, I think she just didn’t like her armpit area. That’s so normal. Some people, no matter how skinny, still have skin there. That’s all I see that as.
I really like the dress and I think she made a beautiful bride. The groom is not my favourite celebrity and his “best day of my life” quote sounds shady considering he was married before and has a son so good luck to them.
They are wrong sometimes, but blind gossip has that she is pregnant (claims somebody saw her go in for an ultrasound at an OB office and the office accidentally left her name on the screen) and that is why the wedding timeline was accelerated. Who knows though.
I liked Pratt when he was on Parks and Rec but as soon as she started getting movie famous he seemed to turn into a real jerk.
Remember when he upgraded Anna’s engagement ring? They were asked about it on the red carpet once and she gushed but was clearly cringing inside. Meanwhile, Chris hovered over her shoulder looking so damn proud that he’d been able to buy a bigger rock. It was so clear to me that they were having problems and Chris’ idea was to just throw money at them. When the divorce announcement came I was relieved for Anna. Hope he’s learned/grown but I doubt it. At least Katherine will always have her family name/fortune to fall back on.
That’s actually really sad. I mean – it’s sort of nice that he was proud that he could give her a bigger ring – but if it was just his version of throwing money at a problem, then not so good. I don’t see Faris as the kind of person to be really envious for a bigger ring, so I can imagine that does speak to the issues of their marriage. I just looked at photos, and I much preferred her first ring – and it certainly wasn’t a tiny stone.
I really like Anna, and I agree – I felt a bit of relief for her in a way. I also LOVED him as Andy, but haven’t liked him since.
I never had any warmth for Anna Faris.
I never saw P&R, but I did like him in that baseball movie in which he played a sad washed up ball player.
This is me being petty, but is it odd that Armani received more of a shout out than anyone else in their posts?
Probably part of their contractual agreement for the free duds
Let me guess, those “Armani looks” were free right? Don’t you love it when rich people get things for free? I mean what’s the point? It’s not like this “free advertising” is gonna make any of us go out and buy Armani. How many of us even have an Armani store in our town lol?
What! Dior AND Armani in Flagstaff.
I live in Canada. The closest Armani and Dior store to me is 4 hours away !
