Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman

The dress is by Valentino, which makes sense. And the rural setting jibes with his current Little Compound on the Prairie collection, although the gown itself here seems more floaty and princessy and delicate than all the floral stuff from that show. It's super girly, and then you get to the veil, which is Daisy Buchanan to me. Well, Daisy Buchanan if she woke up with amnesia and wed the kindly goat farmer who taught her how to love. Call it Gatsby meets Overboard. The thing is, I actually really like Anne with this hair, so I'm sort of bummed she's swaddling her head so that we can't appreciate it fully.

Is it just the lighting, or is her dress kissed with pink? It doesn't look THIS Barbie in every picture, but there definitely seems to be at least a suggestion of it. Very unexpected from her, especially because Anne Hathaway is a lady who wears a LOT of white and clearly therefore has no fear of it. Maybe she decided she'd already worn so much of it that her wedding gown needed to feel different. But if I had to pick one celebrity who'd get hitched in a large bubblegum meringue, it would be Paris Hilton, not Anne Hathaway.

For those of you on Shoe Watch: Plain, sensible, and EEEEEVER so slightly Prom Night 1986. But listen, a lot of girls probably had VERY NICE EVENINGS in those shoes in 1986, so there you go.

"What ho, are those Von Trapp children swinging from those branches, dressed up in nothing but some old drapes?" "No, honey. They're the paparazzi. Remember? They were chasing us out of The Ivy and three of the wedding invitations ACCIDENTALLY flew out of my purse and landed at their feet?" "Right, right. Kisses."

I'm still trying to suss out the color. Maybe the sunsets in Big Sur are just really, really... blush-y. And, let's have an awwwwww for the smoochyness.

I love this photo. It's very, "Aw, man, is that DIRT on my hem?" "Yes. yes it is. Because you are LITERALLY standing on a giant swath of dirt. We are taking our wedding pictures on somebody's tractor path." "Yeah, but nobody said 'rustic' meant ACTUAL SOIL." "Annie, you ARE a card."

Aw. Again. She seems happy. And she scored a guy who'll not only consent to Dirt Road Photography, but wrangle her train for her when she decides it's been sullied as much as she can handle.

Fug or Fab the Strangely Copious And Accessible Wedding Photos: Anne Hathaway

Other than royal weddings, Britney's nuptials with K-Fed where they had the Pimps and Hos tracksuits, and the time Melania Trump was in her gown on the cover of Vogue, I'm not sure we've ever really covered a celebrity wedding. In part, that's because it's incredibly unusual for us to have even ONE of our photo services provide pictures of them -- usually, they're either at a massive premium, or they've been embargoed because a particular publication is paying a boatload for exclusive rights. Not so here. At least three of our subscriptions -- I stopped checking after that -- had at least eight pages of shots of Anne Hathaway and her husband getting their formal pictures taken, and considering they were on a private estate in Big Sur, they could've flown under the radar with considerable ease. Yet there they are, standing on a dirt road cutting through a pasture, pretending not to notice a large cluster of snap-happy urchins dangling from a tree, or whatever. What I'm saying is, they seem not to mind the attention. It's kind of sweet that they're not hiding, and also kind of weird that somebody alerted the paparazzi. They had secrecy on their side, and then someone apparently went, "NAH, let's invite some long lenses. It'll be so much more festive." Anyway, I'm not sure what to say about somebody's Very Special Day. Mostly, I just wanted us all to huddle around the faux-wedding album together and gossip affectionately the way people do when, in their hungover hazes, they gather around each other's iPhones and compare snaps from the festivities and wonder why that one dude is holding a fork in all of them. Anne seems happy, and I hope that is true, and obviously nobody wants to take that away from her. Certainly I do not. I also think these photos -- the ones taken down on the ground by the photographer she actually hired -- probably looked incredibly striking. But as for the veil, well, I look at it this way: If you were at a friend's wedding and you are terribly fond of her but you secretly thought she was hiding her surprisingly cute pixie cut with an overwhelming headpiece, you'd probably whisper to another friend, "I love her and I want her to be happy, but one day she might regret that from the neck up she looks like she escaped from the hospital after a head injury and married the dude who found her hiding in his barn." And so it is here. [poll id="8652"] [Photos: Splash, INF, Fame/Flynet]
