After just two years of dating, the couple tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in Mexico in 2002, later welcoming two children — Charlotte and Rocky.

Couple ‘flew across the world' and shelled out thousands of dollars on destination wedding — turns out they were never invited
They were accidental wedding crashers. A flabbergasted couple flew 14 hours and shelled out over thousands of dollars to attend a destination wedding, only to realize after booking that they weren't on the guest list. 'We flew across the world for a wedding we technically weren't even part of,' Yasemin Sarli told People Magazine. Advertisement 4 'Once we realized we were essentially wedding-adjacent, we just pivoted. We were like, 'okay, secret vacation it is,'' said Sarli. Instagram/Yasemin Sarli The nuptial debacle reportedly went down in 2023, but Sarli only posted about it recently in a TikTok video, which has since amassed over 1.7 million views. Advertisement She and her then-boyfriend of two years had reportedly been excited to fly to Buenos Aires, Argentina — where the knot-tying ceremony of her beau's college buddies was. 'The wedding came up casually in conversations between my boyfriend and the groom,' Sarli told the Daily Mail. According to her, the groom had described the soiree as a 'small wedding with family and close friends,' which her BF had interpreted as 'you're definitely going.' However, despite receiving an early save-the-date text, the pair had never actually received an official wedding invite. Nonetheless, her former flame was so confident that they'd been invited that he 'booked everything.' He reportedly dropped $1,500 on round-trip flights and another $3,000 for five nights at a lavish hotel where they'd heard the other guests were staying, according to the outlet. Advertisement 4 The couple wore costumes so the wedding guests couldn't identify them. Courtesy of Yasemin Sarli However, Sarli felt something was awry in the days leading up to the bash as they didn't receive any nuptial updates. 'The red flags started waving a few days before we left,' she fretted. 'There were no follow-up messages, no schedule, no 'can't wait to see you!'' 4 The couple reportedly shelled out over $4,500 on flights and accommodations. Instagram/Yasemin Sarli Advertisement That's when it dawned on her that they'd never actually been invited. However, by that point, it was too late to back out. The uninvited guests felt that it would be 'too awkward' to mention to the bride and groom at that point, plus canceling last minute meant losing a ton of money as the trip was non-refundable. 'Once we realized we were essentially wedding-adjacent, we just pivoted. We were like, 'okay, secret vacation it is,'' she declared. 'I was just happy to have uninterrupted time together.' 4 'At some point, it honestly felt like we were starring in our own mini secret spy movie — 'Mission: Avoid the Wedding Guests,'' said Sarli. TikTok/sarliunlimited So the couple jetted from Frankfurt, Germany, to the Argentinian capital in what would become an unintentional wedding crash for the ages. However, to avoid getting caught, the couple went 'undercover' to keep their unauthorized attendance under wraps. They avoided vacation updates on social media and even made sure to work around other guests' schedules. 'If we found out the wedding group was hanging by the pool, we stayed in our room or booked spa treatments,' said Sarli. 'We ate super early or super late to avoid dinner overlap. We even planned random day trips just to make sure we wouldn't randomly bump into anyone.' Advertisement Like matrimonial espionage agents, they even donned disguises so that guests couldn't identify them. 'At some point, it honestly felt like we were starring in our own mini secret spy movie — 'Mission: Avoid the Wedding Guests,'' said Sarli while reflecting on their surreptitious soiree. In retrospect, the unintentional crasher — who split with the guy shortly after the trip — said she's glad she embarked on the trip, which she described as 'chaotic, awkward, kind of tragic, and hilarious.' Sarli concluded that it was 'just one big misunderstanding that turned into a great story.'

Paul Simon, 83, undergoes back surgery after canceling 2 shows
Hello darkness. Paul Simon underwent successful back surgery after 'severe' pain forced the legendary musician to cancel two shows. The 'Sounds of Silence' singer, 83, was forced to cancel Philadelphia shows on June 27 and June 28. 'As previously reported, Paul Simon underwent a surgical procedure this week to alleviate severe back pain that he has been experiencing for some time. Thanks to a great team of doctors, the surgery went well, as expected,' his official Instagram account read on July 3. 8 Paul Simon onstage at the premiere of 'In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon' at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.

Paul Simon/Instagram His surgery also caused him to postpone his scheduled show on July 7 at The Terrace Theater in Long Beach, Calif. The Instagram statement continued, 'However, it has become clear he will need one additional day of rest and recuperation to ensure he is able to perform at the top of his ability in Long Beach.' Out of an 'abundance of caution,' his team decided to delay his July 7 concert by one day, the statement explained. The Simon & Garfunkel icon is on his A Quiet Celebration Tour, which he announced in February, shortly after performing 'Homeward Bound' alongside Sabrina Carpenter during the 'Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special.' It's scheduled to wrap in August. 8 New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole with Paul Simon on the field before the game on June 21, 2024.

Getty Images for PEN America Previously, the 'Bridge over Troubled Water' singer retired from touring in 2018, due to hearing loss. That year, he ended his farewell concert tour at Flushing Meadows Park, where his career began: the borough of Queens. 'Hello, my friends,' he greeted his cheering crowd at the time. 'This is 2 miles from where I played high school baseball in Forest Hills.' While recording his 2023 album 'Seven Psalms,' the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer was suffering from hearing loss in his left ear that made the idea of extended live performances seem impossible. 8 Paul Simon performs on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on June 19, 2025. CBS via Getty Images 'It was incredibly frustrating. I was very angry at first that this had happened,' Simon told 'CBS Mornings.' But after working with the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss and his own production team, Simon revamped his entire stage setup to make performing viable again. His current tour is at intimate venues, to provide a better setting acoustically for Simon's hearing challenges. 8 Paul Simon plays 'The Sound of Silence' alongside a student protester during the March for Our Lives rally on March 24, 2018 in Stamford, Connecticut. Getty Images Simon released his most recent solo album, 'Seven Psalms,' in 2023. It was his first album since 2018 – and his first new material since 2016. Prior to his surgery, Simon's team posted another statement on Instagram explaining the canceled shows. 'Paul has been struggling with chronic and intense back pain,' a statement posted to his Instagram read on June 28. 'Today it became unmanageable and demands immediate attention. Unfortunately, we have to cancel these shows at this time, as we don't have the ability to reschedule them.' The statement didn't specify what surgery the 'Mrs. Robinson' singer had, but simply called it a 'minor surgical procedure.'

Rihanna Shares Pic of Sons RZA and Riot Being ‘So Over Her' on Family Road Trip
THE RUNDOWN On Thursday, Rihanna shared rare photos of her two sons, RZA and Riot Rose, from a recent road trip. The two boys are seated in the back of a car in their car seats, the older brother with his head buried in a French children's book, the youngest wearing white-and-yellow overalls and a white T-shirt with a white pacifier in his mouth. In the last picture, he pulls down the hood of his car seat to hide his face from his mother. In the caption, the Fenty Beauty founder hilariously wrote, 'they so over me on this lil road trip.' Last Friday, Rihanna supported her partner, A$AP Rocky, at his AWGE fashion show during Paris Men's Fashion Week and she was joined by Riot Rose in the front row. It's unclear from the Instagram pics if the family is still road tripping in France, but they have definitely been traveling. Earlier that same day, the couple were seen at the Dior menswear collection show. Rihanna wore an embroidered cape-style coat over a mint green vest and button-down, while the rapper wore a brightly striped Dior tie. After the Fashion Week events, the couple headed to Belgium, where they attended the premiere of The Smurfs. Rihanna is voicing the character of Smurfette, and she wore a custom Chanel ensemble in baby blue on the red carpet. The two-piece look featured a long skirt decorated with beading and feathers along the hem and a top with a sheer piece of fabric revealing the singer's torso. Rocky and Rihanna are expecting their third child, which they confirmed at the Met Gala in May. Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight at the time, 'I'm good. I'm shockingly feeling OK and not too overwhelmed at the moment. I mean, at first it was kinda like, 'Ah!' And I'm tired, but then I'm excited.'
