Yellowstone star Josh Lucas marries meteorologist Brianna Ruffalo in Vatican City ceremony
The Yellowstone star and the US television meteorologist tied the knot on July 18 during a breathtaking wedding ceremony held in none other than Vatican City.
'Mr and Mrs,' Ruffalo wrote on Instagram, sharing a carousel of dreamy black-and-white images from the ceremony.
'Incredibly blessed to receive this sacrament together inside the heart of the Catholic Church and holy city.'
Lucas, best known for playing the 'other guy' in Sweet Home Alabama, wore a classic black tux while Ruffalo stunned in a strapless lace gown.
In the comments, he left a sweet note to his new bride: 'I love you. Easily one of the greatest days of my life. I am so so grateful.'
Over on his own Instagram, the 54-year-old actor gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek at the nuptials, thanking everyone who helped pull it off.
'A huge thank you to deeply talented @caterinaerrani_photography and to @weddings_italy @paolo_nassi @JinaneKafrouny who helped make the dream of wedding in the #vatican come true,' he wrote alongside a candid shot of the couple walking the cobblestone streets of Vatican City. 'Many many people to thank for this to come.'
Their wedding comes almost two years after the couple first met – and just over a year after getting engaged on another trip to Italy.
'Almost 2 years ago this fall, and with no expectations, Josh walked into my life,' Ruffalo shared at the time. 'And we knew almost immediately we had each found our person in a way we've never experienced – on every level.'
'This was the easiest and best question I've ever answered,' she added. 'So, here's to forever with my love, my best friend.'

Sarajevo street art marks out brighter future
Bullet holes still pockmark many Sarajevo buildings; others threaten collapse under disrepair, but street artists in the Bosnian capital are using their work to reshape a city steeped in history. A half-pipe of technicolour snakes its way through the verdant Mount Trebevic, once an Olympic bobsled route -- now layered in ever-changing art. "It's a really good place for artists to come here to paint, because you can paint here freely," Kerim Musanovic told AFP, spraycan in hand as he repaired his work on the former site of the 1984 Sarajevo Games. Retouching his mural of a dragon, his painting's gallery is this street art hotspot between the pines. Like most of his work, he paints the fantastic, as far removed from the divisive political slogans that stain walls elsewhere in the Balkan nation. "I want to be like a positive view. When you see my murals or my artworks, I don't want people to think too much about it. "It's for everyone." During the Bosnian war, 1992-1995, Sarajevo endured the longest siege in modern conflict, as Bosnian Serb forces encircled and bombarded the city for 44 months. Attacks on the city left over 11,500 people dead, injured 50,000 and forced tens of thousands to flee. But in the wake of a difficult peace, that divided the country into two autonomous entities, Bosnia's economy continues to struggle leaving the physical scars of war still evident around the city almost three decades on. 'A form of therapy' "After the war, segregation, politics, and nationalism were very strong, but graffiti and hip-hop broke down all those walls and built new bridges between generations," local muralist Adnan Hamidovic, also known as rapper Frenkie, said. Frenkie vividly remembers being caught by police early in his career, while tagging trains bound for Croatia in the northwest Bosnian town of Tuzla. The 43-year-old said the situation was still tense then, with police suspecting he was doing "something political". For the young artist, only one thing mattered: "Making the city your own". Graffiti was a part of Sarajevo life even during the war, from signs warning of sniper fire to a bulletproof barrier emblazoned with the words "Pink Floyd" -- a nod to the band's 1979 album The Wall. Sarajevo Roses -- fatal mortar impact craters filled with red resin -- remain on pavements and roads around the city as a memorial to those killed in the strikes. When he was young, Frenkie said the thrill of illegally painting gripped him, but it soon became "a form of therapy" combined with a desire to do something significant in a country still recovering from war. "Sarajevo, after the war, you can imagine, it was a very, very dark place," he said at Manifesto gallery where he exhibited earlier this year. "Graffiti brought life into the city and also colour." 'A way of resisting' Sarajevo's annual Fasada festival, first launched in 2021, has helped promote the city's muralists while also repairing buildings, according to artist and founder Benjamin Cengic. "We look for overlooked neighbourhoods, rundown facades," Cengic said. His team fixes the buildings that will also act as the festival's canvas, sometimes installing insulation and preserving badly damaged homes in the area. The aim is to "really work on creating bonds between local people, between artists". Mostar, a city in southern Bosnia, will also host the 14th edition of its annual street art festival in August. With unemployment nearing 30 percent in Bosnia, street art also offers an important springboard to young artists, University of Sarajevo sociology professor Sarina Bakic said. "The social context for young people is very difficult," Bakic said. Ljiljana Radosevic, a researcher at Finland's Jyvaskyla University, said graffiti allowed youth to shake off any "nationalist narrative or imposed identity". "It's a way of resisting," Radosevic said.

Chrishell Stause marries Aussie singer G Flip for a third time in medieval-themed wedding
Third time's the charm. Chrishell Stause and G Flip said 'I do' for a third time in a medieval-themed wedding ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday. Stause shared pics from the wedding via her Instagram Stories, including the invitation which welcomed guests to the wedding of 'Lord Flipo and Lady Stause.' Details included the Selling Sunset star making a scroll for her vows and the couple getting married in the presence of two knights dressed in full costume. Stause fit the theme perfectly in an off-the-shoulder white dress with billowy sleeves and a lace-up corset. G Flip also went all out, wearing a red prince costume complete with a sword. The couple rented out a castle in the Hollywood Hills for the occasion, TMZ reported. Among their guests was celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, who posed with the couple and the knights. Stause, 44, and G Flip, 31, secretly got married for the first time in May 2023 in Las Vegas after one year of dating. They later renewed their vows in the musician's home country of Australia in July 2024 while celebrating Stause's 43rd birthday. The couple previously shared that they plan to have a wedding every year. 'Why would you just do it once? In different locations with different amounts of people,' G Flip, who is non-binary, said on The Viall Files podcast in June 2023. 'You celebrate your birthday once a year and when you're married you're with this person every day, so why don't you celebrate that once a year?' they added. G Flip also said their weddings wouldn't be 'traditional.' 'Chrishell has already done the big traditional,' they explained. 'I'm not big on traditional things.' Stause told E! News in May 2023, 'We promised we're going to just do it [get married] every year, whether it's another Vegas situation or somewhere else. But just every year, something around the same time, spontaneous, fun, get everybody together and every single year, just celebrate.' Stause was previously married to actor Justin Hartley. He filed for divorce in 2019 after two years of marriage. She called their very public divorce 'traumatising.' But she later shared on Selling Sunset that she was able to receive closure from her ex-husband after he moved on and married his former Young and the Restless co-star Sofia Pernas.
