The Wedding of Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger at their wedding in the South of France, July 2013. Black wedding dress

Black wedding dress
According to belief, bride on a wedding day should wear the traditional white dress, as white as the color of purity. Black color is associated with the wedding fashion less often. However, nothing lasts forever, especially fashion! Perhaps the most black wedding which the world has ever witnessed, was Avril Lavigne’s: Gothic medieval castle Château de La Napoule in the South of France, black dress, black bridal make-up, black flower, black cake. The couple married on 1 July 2013 (Canada Day). Her black dress didn’t bring luck in marriage – on 2 September 2015, Lavigne announced her separation from Kroeger. The black wedding dress didn’t make happy other stars either – Marilyn Monroe married Joe DiMaggio in a modest black dress. Years later, after the wedding, the actress Sarah Jessica Parker admitted in an interview that the only thing she regrets in life – a black dress at the wedding.
“I wore black on my wedding day, and it was a huge mistake – said Sarah Jessica. – At that time I somehow felt that marrying in white – means to attract too much attention, and I was shy. Now I regret it, and if it were possible to turn time back, I would fix it, wearing a wedding dress whiter than the white of the snow, because only in this should be bride”.

Turning tears into diamonds Giovanna Antonelli
Those of you who watched TV series “O Clone” (2001) might remember Giovanna Antonelli as Jade – hot brunette with Arab motifs. Indeed, her face has become known to almost everyone in every country. Her character Jade stated that she “turns tears into diamonds”. For every betrayal of Lucas she bought jewellery – diamond necklaces, earrings and bracelets. But when took off, she was still crying …

I just love her thoughts about love and jewellery. According to her, there is some connection between them: “Love can not be trusted. Love – is a snake pretending to be a necklace. You put it around your neck, for some time it adorns you, pleases you, and when you least expect it, it bites you and releases poison”.

Thirteen-year-old union of American director Tim Burton and British actress Helena Bonham Carter has ended in “friendly parting.” They remain friends and will work together to fulfill their parental responsibilities towards their two children” – a statement made by the press agent of the actress on the eve of Christmas.
