Britney Spears and Jason Alexander tied the knot at Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas on January 3, 2004.

9 Days: Cher and Gregg Allman
Following her divorce from Sonny Bono, Cher moved on with The Allman Brothers Band member Gregg Allman on July 9, 1975. Their quick union in a chapel in Las Vegas led to an immediate nullification of their marriage due to Gregg's addiction issues.

9 Days: Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman
On November 14, 1998, Carmen Electra married Dennis Rodman in a ceremony in Sin City. Nine days later, AP News confirmed the former NBA star filed for an annulment, citing "fraud" and "unsound mind" when they wed.
Over two decades after the failed marriage, the Baywatch actress issued a warning via People not to get married in Las Vegas.
12 Days: Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters
Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters surprised everyone with their wedding announcement in 2020, decades after their first meeting.
The marriage did not last, as she confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter they decided to split 12 days after their secret wedding.
"We would be very grateful for your support as we take some time apart to re-evaluate what we want from life and from one another," she said. "Life is a journey, and love is a process. With that universal truth in mind, we have mutually decided to put off the formalization of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process. Thank you for respecting our privacy."
They remain friends even after the divorce.
12 Days: Jana Kramer and Johnathon Schaech
Jana Kramer and Johnathon Schaech were only a married couple for 12 days after an intimate ceremony in her Michigan home. They marked one of their most recent reunions on the country singer's "Whine Down" podcast, during which they revealed why they split.
"We were two very unhealed souls who came together," Kramer said. "I was trying to fill a void — and there was no way you could've ever filled my need for love."
14 Days: Tracey Edmonds and Eddie Murphy
Tracey Edmonds and Eddie Murphy welcomed in the 2008 new year with a bang as they wed in French Polynesia at that time. Despite their jaw-dropping beachfront ceremony, the pair did not make their wedding official due to a lack of an official marriage certificate.
They broke up two weeks later.
"After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further," the pair penned in a joint statement. "While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends."
18 Days: Mario Lopez and Ali Landry
Mario Lopez and Ali Landry took their relationship to the next level when they held an intimate wedding in Puerto Vallarta on April 24, 2004. They ended their years-long romance with a divorce 18 days after the ceremony.
In her candid interview with host Leone McLaughlin on the "Unfolding Leadership" podcast, Landry expressed how grateful she felt that their marriage did not last because Lopez cheated on her.
"Not even a week [after the wedding] I found out it was like a Tiger Woods situation," she revealed. "It was cheating across the board."

Forty-one days after Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada's wedding in Miami, the Basketball Wives alum filed for divorce, citing the marriage was "irretrievably broken." The filing came three days after the former football star reportedly head-butted her, leading to her hospitalization.

According to Warner, their wedding was not legal at all.

122 Days: Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito tied the knot in December 2006 in South of France two months after they got engaged. Their relationship took a turn when the Welcome to Collinwood actress filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."
