Love sure is grand, especially when you're a celebrity. With multi- million dollar weddings followed by multi-million dollar divorce settlements, each new wife of Donald Trump becomes one expensive accessory. But allowing for the possibility that celebrities are in fact human and experience love just like the rest of us, you can't help but feel for someone like The Donald or Jennifer Lopez. After all, they just want to find love too.

Despite the reality that you can't buy love, it sure seems that some celebrities are chasing the notion that you can. Donald Trump gave his third wife, Melania Knauss, a wedding ring valued at over $1.5 million, and she walked down the aisle in a gown that cost between $100,000 and $200,000.

And who could forget ABC's televised wedding between The Bachelorette's Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter? Paid $1 million just to televise their big day, the wedding was as over-the-top as they come. Rehn's Bagdley Mischka dress was worth around $70,000 and her Stuart Weitzman diamond-encrusted shoes worth $50,000 (allegedly the most expensive bridal shoes in the world). Thirty thousand roses were flown in from Ecuador, costing $500,000. The invitations alone cost $83,000.

Taking it to a level even more surreal than Rehn and Sutter's $4 million televised wedding, multi-millionaire Peter Shalson and wife Paulina paid $3.7 million to have Elton John perform for their 300 guests and spent over $11 million on lavish touches such as live parrots and the finest caviar and champagne. Even more jaw dropping, Indian steel magnate Laskshmi Mittal recently paid for a 1500 guest, six-day wedding affair in some of France's most sacred venues, including Versailles and the Tuileries gardens. This lavish affair, in the name of love, cost him a paltry $60 million.

When you're worth billions, what's a few million for a wedding? It might be easier to understand if the marriage lasted. If finding love proves expensive, getting rid of it can really put a dent in one's fortune. Jennifer Lopez's brief 8 month marriage to Cris Judd cost her $14 million in a divorce settlement and Tom Arnold walked away with around $50 million when he and Roseanne Barr called it quits.

However, celebrities are wising up to pre-nuptial agreements. Donald Trump's first divorce from Ivana cost him over $26 million, not including the $100,000 a year child support agreement, while his second divorce (granted the marriage was much shorter) from Marla Maples cost him just $2 million plus child support.

Often more ridiculous than expensive weddings and divorces is the brevity of celebrity marriages. Britney Spears and childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander hold the title for one of the shortest celebrity weddings ever, lasting about 55 hours before their marriage was annulled. Of course, there are more cautionary tales of the Vegas wedding - Cher and Greg Allman which lasted 9 days, Nikki Hilton and Todd Meister's 3 month marriage with no pre-nuptial, and Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman who stuck it out for 5 months despite reports that Rodman tried to annul it within 9 days.

Celebrities like Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez and Elizabeth Taylor enter into marriage so frequently and with such abandon, sadly it isn't surprising when their divorces pop up in the news. But we shouldn't be so hard on celebrities. Perhaps it makes us feel better to know that they too struggle when it comes to finding and managing love. It can be tempting to throw caution to the wind, however, especially when you're in Vegas with wedding chapels on every corner. On second thought, maybe celebrities are different.
