Do You Remember?

Once, not so long ago, there was a quiet, delightfully green, celebrity wedding...

It was November 6th, 2005, when Alicia Silverstone and Christopher Jarecki exchanged vows barefoot on a Lake Tahoe beach. Afterward, they enjoyed a very green reception with close family and friends, and by Hollywood standards, the whole thing was kept very well under wraps!

However, People Magazine did do a brief feature some months later, which tells the story:

According to Megan Meyers, creator of Portovert Magazine, the first and only magazine for eco-savvy brides and grooms:

"Alicia's wedding was probably the epitome of green-meets-beautiful. She thought about every single choice: organic vegan food, pesticide-free flowers, and recycled but very elegant invitations. She wore a ring handed down on her husband's side, and it was a very, very green wedding on the beach at Lake Tahoe….”

Alicia’s own comments were, “It was amazing to be surrounded by the people you love most, all gathered in one place.”

Other Celebrity Green Weddings to note:

• March 2, 2007, Elizabeth Hurley & Arun Nayar: Entirely organic menu and a livestock gift registry
• April, 2005, Prince Charles & Camilla Bowles: Organic fruitcake and pesticide-free flowers
• August, 2003, Stella McCartney & Alasdhair Willis: Sustainable clothing and organic food
