13 Celebrity Couples That Rushed Into Marriage

We all tune in weekly to watch The Bachelorette where contestants are urged to get engaged in two months in front of a nationwide audience. These engagements don't often result in a lasting marriage, but those involved always seem to think the process works at first. Like the contestants on the show, some of Hollywood's biggest stars have gotten married far too soon including Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, and Kaley Cuoco. Their relationships weren't meant for entertainment like those on The Bachelorette, but the drama never fails to come through in true Hollywood fashion.

In Hollywood, "'Til death do us part" is muttered so often on the silver screen, it's perhaps not so surprising that it would be said all the time off-camera, as well. In Vegas things can get blurry when the lust and booze sets in, and there are opportunities to get fake Elvis to officiate your ceremony. And while these speedy celebrity unions will always make news headlines, their fast divorces are what really take the wedding cake.

Some of the following celebs got married after only one night, others waited a few months, but they all rushed to the altar very quickly. Some of the marriages lasted less than three days, others only a few years. Ahead, 13 celebrity couples that jumped the gun when walking — or sprinting — down the isle.

1. Kris Humphries & Kim Kardashian

According to an MTV timeline, Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian began dating when she sat court side at his game Halloween of 2010.

12. Gregg Allman & Cher

The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour wouldn't have been complete without Sonny Bono and Cher's matching '60s bangs. According to Entertainment Weekly, Cher married Gregg Allman in 1975. She hopped on a plane to Vegas only three days after her divorce from Bono was finalized. Maybe if the plane to Vegas was a little longer she wouldn't have filed for divorce from Allman nine days later.

Anderson made room for her second spot on this list when, according to Time, she dated Kid Rock from 2001 to 2003 and things didn't work out. In July 2006, they got back together for only a few weeks before they got married on a yacht. She wore a classic white bikini — for the second time — and he wore a T-shirt. They later raced each other to the court to file for divorce. Kid Rock beat Anderson by 53 minutes.

Even though these relationships didn't work out, this does prove that Vegas really is a hot spot for celeb weddings.
