Over the past two years, low-key and intimate weddings had become a trend, but in recent months, we've been seeing the return of lavish events and a rise in couples hosting more than one ceremony. <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/home/2022/08/21/jennifer-lopez-and-ben-afflecks-properties-from-miami-to-manhattan/" target="_blank">Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck</a>, for example, have now tied the knot twice, while <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/family/2022/07/22/where-celebrities-honeymoon-from-jlo-and-ben-in-paris-to-kourtney-and-travis-in-milan/" target="_blank">Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker</a> held three separate events. Others are still choosing to opt for a more private and secretive approach, such as Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons or Rita Ora and Taika Waititi. There have been plenty of examples of go-big-or-go-home, too — for example, <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/brooklyn-beckham-and-actress-nicola-peltz-announce-their-engagement-1.1047902" target="_blank">Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz</a>. The same has been seen in Dubai and India, where Bollywood and local names have enjoyed opulent celebrations in some of the cities' grandest hotels. These are some of the biggest and most talked-about weddings we've seen so far this year. Former Facebook boss Sheryl Sandberg married businessman Tom Bernthal in a Western-themed wedding in Wyoming on August 20. The couple got engaged on a ranch and share a love of country music, and it was only fitting for Bernthal to don cowboy boots and jeans for the occasion. The couple's five children — Sandberg has a son and daughter, while Bernthal has three children — were part of the bridal party, while Rob Goldberg, brother of Sandberg's late husband, was their co-officiant. Goldberg had introduced the couple in 2019, and they started dating soon after. Three years after getting engaged, <i>Modern Family</i> star Sarah Hyland and<i> Bachelor in Paradise</i> alumni Wells Adams tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony in California on August 20. Family and friends were there to witness the event, including Hyland's sitcom co-stars Nolan Gould (Luke Dunphy), Sofia Vergara (Gloria Delgado-Pritchett), Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy) and Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell Pritchett). Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/comment/2022/04/11/why-bennifer-20-is-the-hollywood-fairy-tale-we-need/" target="_blank">known colloquially as Bennifer</a>, first got <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/family/2022/07/18/jennifer-lopez-and-ben-affleck-marry-in-las-vegas/" target="_blank">married on July 16</a>, in a small ceremony in Las Vegas.

British-Indian life coach Jay Shetty, a former Hindu monk, officiated at the ceremony, for which Lopez wore a custom couture Ralph Lauren dress. Guests included director Kevin Smith, who posted a photo of himself at the event, as well as Affleck's long-time friend, Matt Damon.

The low-key wedding took place in the hours after the <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/2022/04/03/grammys-2022-live-latest-updates-from-musics-biggest-awards/">64th Annual Grammy Awards</a>.
