10 Celebrities Who Were Pregnant When They Wed

Shotgun wedding?

When it comes down to your nuptials, sometimes it’s the finishing touches like a sparkling hairpiece or a carefully-crafted pin that can make your day completely distinctive and memorable. But for some blushing brides out there, your greatest accessory often comes in the form of a growing baby bump (and that coveted pregnancy glow). Sure, tying the knot mid-pregnancy often means forgoing heels for flats or alcohol for apple juice, but it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice looking and feeling like the most elegant woman in the world —  something that Hollywood’s finest will attest to. Below, we’ve rounded up all the celebrities who helped launch the premarital bliss baby boom and looked utterly fab while doing so.
