Sarah Jessica Parker's Wedding Regrets
Sarah Jessica Parker wore black when she married Matthew Broderick in a wedding that was a surprise to their guests.
On that special day in 1997, 100 friends and family members of the couple thought they were attending a party at Angel Orensanz Synagogue in NYC. Surprise! It was their wedding.
That wasn't the only nontraditional element of their event.
She told Marie Claire in 2006, "I wore black on my wedding day, and I really regret that. I was too embarrassed to get married in white, and both Matthew and I were reluctant to have people pay so much attention to us. Which is ridiculous, because that's when you can relish the attention, when it's natural. We treated it like it was a big party on a Monday night, and I regret it."
She confessed she would do things differently if given the chance in an interview three years later.
“[I'd] white it up," she said on Today. "I’d wear a beautiful, proper wedding dress, like I should have worn that day."
