So, grab your favorite drink (iced oat latte, anyone?) and let’s take a scroll through the most viral weddings lighting up our feeds this week.

1. Carly Rae Jepsen and Cole M.G.N.’s Intimate New York City Wedding

Carly Rae Jepsen just turned her dreamy love story into a full-on NYC romance novel. The “Call Me Maybe” singer tied the knot with music producer Cole M.G.N. at the historic Chelsea Hotel, surrounded by about 100 of their closest friends. According to Vogue, the couple chose the venue because of its artistic energy, and if you know Carly’s vibe, it’s a match made in vintage heaven.

She wore two looks: a corseted Toni Maticevski gown and a flowy Danielle Frankel number, paired with pearl earrings handcrafted by her mom. The night even featured a surprise performance from Rufus Wainwright singing Leonard Cohen’s “Chelsea Hotel #2.” It’s giving intimate, sentimental, and effortlessly cool, very Carly of her.

2. Dorothy Wang’s Italian Wedding Extravaganza

Reality TV’s favorite heiress Dorothy Wang has officially left the chat, as in, she’s married! The Bling Empire and Rich Kids of Beverly Hills star wed lawyer Brandon Yankowitz in a stunning ceremony at Collegio alla Querce in Florence, Italy. The multi-day celebration was basically a luxury itinerary: pasta-making classes, Gucci museum tours, and a traditional Chinese tea ceremony to honor their families.

Wang’s bridal fashion could’ve been its own miniseries, a custom Oscar de la Renta gown for the ceremony, Prabal Gurung for the rehearsal dinner, and a couture Giambattista Valli for the reception. Then came a party so good that Saweetie performed, burgers and fries were served at midnight, and nobody even missed the brunch the next morning. If weddings had VIP sections, this was it.

3. Rissa and Quan’s “Floral Wonderland” Wedding

YouTube royalty Rissa and Quan finally tied the knot, and their wedding looked straight out of a fairytale. The couple, who started their joint YouTube channel back in college and now have over 3 million subscribers, got married at Park Château Estate & Gardens in New Jersey. The space was transformed into a “floral wonderland” with endless blooms, candlelit walkways, and even ballerinas gliding through the venue.

Their ceremony was filled with emotion, complete with harp music, family speeches, and tears from pretty much everyone. Then, for the reception, things got lively, Jamaican artist Wayne Wonder and R&B group 112 performed, and McDonald’s made a surprise late-night appearance to refuel the guests. If that doesn’t scream “perfect mix of glam and real-life fun,” we don’t know what does.

What makes a wedding go viral isn’t always the scale, the budget, or the celebrity name attached, it’s how each couple makes their love story feel uniquely their own. Carly Rae’s wedding reminded us that intimacy can be just as impactful as grandeur. 

Dorothy Wang’s Italian fairytale showed us how tradition and modern luxury can coexist beautifully. And Rissa and Quan’s celebration proved that internet love stories can evolve into something real, rooted, and absolutely magical.
