Clearly A.B. Quintanilla wanted his famous late sister to be part of his big wedding day. But wearing a jacket with a giant Selena image on the back may be taking the tribute a bit too far.

In what several gossip sites have described as "tacky," Quintanilla strutted down the aisle for the fourth time flossing his famous hermana for photographers. And interestingly, the Selena exposure wasn't the only reason A.B. was taking heat.

Quintanilla's new bride is a full 25 years younger than him, which means she was only 6-years-old when Selena lost her life. But, judging by the pictures Guanabee posted, these two seem to be head-over-heels for each other.

Images include the two making out in front of the wedding cake, toasting champagne glasses, and posing along Quintanilla padre, Abraham. Judging by the extravagance, it's actually too bad they didn't reach out to Tr3s, as this would've made some great material for Quiero Mi Boda.

Taking a break from the NBA season, Atlanta Hawks star Al Horford whisked former Miss Universe, Amelia Vega, away to the Dominican Republic for a whirlwind Christmas wedding.

Held at the home of Amelia's famous uncle Juan Luis Guerra, the event featured close family, catered Dominican delicacies, and (of course) tons of great music from the Guerra household.

In the picture released to Fox News Latino, it’s clear that Vega was quite emotional when she said her "I do's." Interestingly, many in the media didn’t even know Amelia and Al were engaged. But witnesses at the ceremony told the press that both newlyweds were "glowing" throughout the night.

Unfortunately, the honeymoon may have to wait for these two. The Hawks are on their way to battle the Nets tonight in New Jersey and we get the feeling there will be a very happy Latina cheering on Atlanta in the stands.

The gossip blogs were on fire today after a story broke about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez' Cabo San Lucas wedding. But the catch is, the boda isn't for them, it's for Selena’s Wizards of Waverly Place buddy, Shannon Larossi.

Larossi was actually a set costumer for Gomez' old Disney Channel show and it appears they've struck up a pretty tight friendship. So much so, that Selena was chosen to be one of Shannon's bridesmaids and may even sing at the wedding.

But, for now at least, it's south-of-the-border Bieber that's attracting the most buzz. The 17-year-old pop star got quite a bit of paparazzi love for baring his chest at the hotel pool.

Selena's bikini bod attracted a lot of attention too. And we can only imagine how glammed up she'll be when she dons a lovely Mexican-inspired bridesmaid dress. Who knows? Maybe it'll encourage The Biebs to "put a ring on it."

Move over Fergie, there's another over-the-top Duchess in town. Maria del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva or the Duchess de Alba, as she's more commonly called, made huge headlines this week by marrying a man 24 years her junior.

Known for her colorful clothes, carefree attitude, and nipped/tucked appearance, the 85-year-old Spanish Duchess has been a tabloid staple for years. And this latest story has given the newspapers (and her family members) quite a lot to talk about.

It appears as though the Spanish royal (she's classified as a "distant" relative of Queen Elizabeth) has married an ordinary commoner. Yup, 61-year-old Alfonso Diez is just a regular employee at the Spain's social security office who happened to have met his new bride at a local movie theater.

Her total worth is reported to be somewhere near $4.7 billion, while his is about $2,000 a month. But she insists that this is a relationship built out of love and not money.

The Duchess, who is twice widowed, has six grown children, all of whom are reportedly quite upset about the wedding. Speaking about the family turmoil, she said,

"I have a young personality and I don't pay attention. Alfonso has known me for 30 years, and he fell in love with me at first sight...But my children are making it hard on me. They don't want me to marry, but they change partners more often than I do."

Four of her six kids attended the ceremony, which included 40 guests, fancy lobster dinners, and a dance floor that the Duchess busted some serious moves on. We're hopeful that the newlyweds have many long and happy years together. Though it will be very interesting to see if Alfonso reports in to his blue collar job come Monday.

Keep your eyes on the celebrity baby blogs, you may see Sara Ramirez' name popping up there in the very near future. The newly-engaged Grey’s Anatomy star recently opened up to Latina about her strong desire to have children.

"I'm definitely thinking about [having kids]—I will say that," she said. "I'm thinking about it, and I'm really taking it very seriously, because I feel that when you bring a child into the world, it's a very, very big responsibility."

Sara also revealed that age is playing a major factor in her decision. Though not old by any means, the 36-year-old actress did admit that she's aware of her biological clock and even said that she could "hear it ticking."

But for now, it seems like Ramirez is putting first things first. Namely, a boda with new fiancée, Ryan Debolt. No new details were revealed about the big date yet, but we're hoping to see her in that gorgeous white wedding dress very soon!

It looks like Latin America's most eligible bachelor was in quite the rush to say "I Do." Mexican singer and novelas star Pablo Montero threw a surprise wedding over the weekend, marrying his longtime girlfriend two months earlier than expected.

Originally Montero revealed that he and fiancée Carolina Van Wielink had wanted to throw a lavish boda in October. Instead the two lovebirds chose the "intimate" route, walking down the aisle in front of a select few in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico.

Many have speculated that the rush to the altar had to do with Van Wielink's current pregnancy. Visibly showing, it is rumored that Carolina and Pablo's baby will arrive sometime in the very near future.

But judging by the reports coming out of Mexico, this wedding was thrown out of pure love. Insiders said that the couple seemed enamored with each other and threw a lovely reception, complete with high-end Mexican cuisine.

And for everyone who didn’t make it, don't worry. Montero has already sold exclusive pictures from the event to Hola Mexico magazine.

After months of buzz, the "reality wedding of the century" finally arrived on Saturday as Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries said "I Do." As expected, the media got a welcome invitation, with reality cameras everywhere and plenty of post-nuptial interviews.

Proving she is still a shrewd businesswoman, Kim actually found a way to profit off the ceremony. Entertainment Tonight paid big bucks to get exclusive footage of her walking down the aisle, E! forked over cash for one-on-one interviews, and there's still a bidding war over who will print the wedding album. All in all, outlets are reporting that Kim and Kris stand to make over $18 million from the affair.

But this wedding wasn't just for show…right? Famous tweeters made a point to update their fans with nonstop posts during the ceremony.

"Butterflies in my stomach for @KimKardashian & @Krishumphries...beyond excited for today! the Anthonys are on our way! Love is in the Air!" Lala Vazquez tweeted.

And Ryan Seacrest wrote,

"Beautiful..kim looked regal, a perfect night. I just danced with the whole family."

Seacrest actually had a point. Kardashian did look quite ravishing in her designer Vera Wang gown and diamond-studded head piece. Humphries also presented quite a dapper look in his glossy white suit. The entire affair went down at a massive Santa Barbara estate in front of 440 guests.

Several famous faces were spotted smiling in the crowd, including Lindsay Lohan, Serena Williams, and Avril Lavigne. Even a few Tr3s faves made the VIP list. Eva Longoria, Mario Lopez, and George Lopez all dropped in to pay their respects to the happy couple.

"It's top notch, absolutely it was our American Royal Wedding," George went on to say.

But of course the ceremony was just part of the experience. The real fun began during the twilight reception. Dinner was served by gourmet chef Wolfgang Puck and guests danced the night away to live jams from Robin Thicke and Earth, Wind and Fire.

And just in case you're curious, it's not too late to give the happy couple a gift. Kim and Kris still have plenty of thousand-dollar items available on their Beverly Hills registry.

How can you beat two Bodas for the price of one? In what may be a QMB first, we got to experience back-to-back weddings in the same episode. Illustrating the true art of the compromise, Hindu groom Danny and Dominican bride Anny celebrated each other’s cultures and kept us very entertained.

Honestly, we think Anny and Danny are in for a long and happy marriage. Why? Because they’re problem solvers. Rather than butting heads over keeping things Hindu (per Danny’s parents) or following Anny’s Catholic traditions, they decided to do both! One wedding to honor his culture and one wedding to honor hers.

Though they came off strict at first, you couldn’t help but love Anny and Danny’s colorful parents. Usually the older generations are set in their ways, but here both sides decided to respect their children’s wishes and go with the doubled up ceremonies.

For the Hindu ritual, Anny decked herself out in a gorgeous sari gown, complete with a shimmering bejeweled veil (but no Henna tattoos). Danny put on quite a pre-wedding celebration and was literally carried into their Boda temple on what Anny dubbed “the flying carpet.”

For wedding #2, Ann and Dan went with Catholic traditions. He decked himself out in a distinguished black suit, while she walked down the aisle in a shimmering white dress. Part of what made the second Boda so great was seeing their raw emotions during the vow exchange. Even the second time around, these two were clearly gushing over each other.

Five years into their relationship, Anny and Danny are primed to start a new and happy life. With their brand new house and some very loving in-laws, things are definitely on the upswing. Plus, they have two different wedding albums to enjoy when they feel like being nostalgic.

Think of him like the Mexican George Clooney. For over 20 years, singer Pablo Montero has been classified as a Latin American heartthrob. And for over 20 years, no woman has ever gotten him to say "I Do"…until now.

According to People en Español, Montero is finally ready to marry his longtime girlfriend, Carolina. Very little clues have been dropped about the wedding, other than it will take place in Mexico sometime in October.

Pablo did share a few hints though, saying,

"Lo voy a hacer en la Casa Madero, ahí en Parras, ahí me voy a casar. Un lugar muy bonito que siempre he tenido el sueño de realizar ese evento, en mi vida ahí, en ese lugar, un lugar histórico, es un lugar que tiene muy bonitos recuerdos de mi familia y de mí."

Of course, the big rumor is that Carolina is pregnant. Though Montero didn't necessarily deny that fact, he wasn't forthcoming with any details.

"Se dicen muchas cosas, pero yo lo único que te puedo decir es que estoy muy enamorado, que estamos viviendo un momento muy importante, muy lindo y que estamos unidos," he said.

Perhaps we’ll have a better idea when we see how Carolina fits in that autumn wedding gown.

Ok, it is SERIOUSLY time to give William Levy and Elizabeth Gutierrez their own reality show. Between the separation, the infidelity rumors, and now a possible reconciliation wedding, these two can fill a book with their chisme stories.

The latest reports for TV Novelas claim that William and Elizabeth are planning to say "I Do" in November. We know, it all seems pretty bizarre when you consider that they split up this summer amidst some scandalous cheating accusations.

But they do have two children together and seem to have been enjoying each others' company within the past few weeks. Sources have said that the Levy/Gutierrez romance is now so hot that they're already booking venues for the nuptials.

The wedding will supposedly go down in Coral Gables, Florida and feature a bevy of celebrity guests. If you ask us, it would make a perfect season finale for Quiero Mi Boda!
