If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that we can all actually manage going a little smaller and a little closer to home. These celebrities have shown us how a wedding doesn’t have to be lavish to be beautiful or special.
These “minimonies” or micro-weddings had all the love, even with a smaller ceremony.

The daughter of legendary Steve Irwin, Bindi Irwin married her fiance Chandler Powell at a small ceremony at the Australia Zoo gardens.
The couple had to change their plans last minute as COVID-19 made the larger ceremony impossible. Irwin explained that her mother helped her get ready, her brother walked her down the aisle and they all lit a candle in her father’s memory.

The Disney star and her fiance got married in a small backyard ceremony. Miranda Pearman-Maday and Symone wore jumpsuits and the food and ceremony was held in actress Debbie Allen’s garden.
Rather than rings, the two got matching tattoos on their fingers.

Royal weddings are usually significant and grand affairs. Princess Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor. This was a much more toned-down version than they had planned but they pulled it off perfectly.
Princess Beatrice did get the fan fare, as many fawned over her beautiful dress which was an updated loan from her grandmother.

Lily Allen married Stranger Things actor David Harbour in one of the most classic minimonies of all time, the Vegas wedding. Officiated by an Elvis impersonator, the wedding was a low-key affair which was followed by a dinner at In-N-Out Burger.
Not all of the affair was so cheap, Allen wore a Christian Dior mini dress that cost a pretty penny.

Swedish musician Tove Lo married Charlie Twaddle in a minimony in July. Not only was this wedding a small one, it was also a secret with the couple only announcing their news later with a few Instagram posts.
In addition to being a small affair, the two took on 80’s inspired looks for their intimate affair.

Parent Trap star Dennis Quaid married his girlfriend Laura Savoie in the middle of the pandemic. Rather than the lavish wedding in Hawaii they planned, which would be followed by a second reception in Nashville with friends and family, they had a ceremony with only themselves and their pastor.
The wedding still took place by the seaside at a resort in Santa Barbara.
