1. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

Leighton might have taken some tips from her 'Gossip Girl' co-star on how to keep her nuptials hush hush. Blake married Ryan in September 2012. Details of the wedding eventually came out through 'Martha Stewart’s Weddings' magazine who helped plan the ceremony. The couple, who rarely hit the red carpet together have managed to so far keep their marriage out of the public eye.

2. Kate Winslet and Ned Rocknroll

The 'Titanic' star and her humorously named husband met when a fire broke out during a holiday in Ned’s uncle Richard Branson’s Necker Island resort.

3. Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem

This Spanish acting couple surprised everyone when they wed in June 2010 in a private ceremony at a friend's home in the Bahamas. The couple began dating after starring together in 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' and now have two children together.
