Mena Suvari & Kendra Wilkinson strive for traditional weddings


Kendra Wilkinson say that she’s an old fashioned kind of gal, despite the fact that she’s a nude model and used to share her senior ex-boyfriend with two other girls. Unfortunately not everyone can see her old fashioned values, because she’s having a hard time finding a minister willing to come to the Playboy mansion and marry her.

“I’m getting stressed since I’m trying to find a minister to perform the ceremony at the Playboy Mansion,” Wilkinson, 23, tells CeleBuzz. “It might be the most stressful detail.”

Man of the manor Hugh Hefner could take on yet another job, but Wilkinson is thinking a little more traditional.

“We’re trying our hardest,” she says. “But it is the Playboy Mansion.”


People

Putting out the call through People is probably going to help Kendra find someone willing to perform the ceremony, because while the mansion might be the site of infamous debauchery, it’s also a beautiful old building and if the guests dress appropriately for a wedding it’s going to be the lovely traditional wedding that Kendra is looking for.

People often strive for tradition in their weddings, even if they aren’t traditional in their everyday lives. Mena Suvari is having issues around her wedding – trying to find a dress that hides her tattoos from her conservative future mother-in-law.

Mena Suvari’s wedding dress has one main requirement: cover the “American Beauty” actress’ tattoos. “I think it would be considerate to [fiance Simone Sistito’s] family to have my tattoos covered, since there are two nuns on his mother’s side of the family,” Suvari told us at the Vanity Fair and USA Networks Character Project bash last week. Sporting an 8.6-carat, custom-designed engagement ring, Suvari constantly wanted to be around her beau, overheard saying, “Where’s my man? Where’s my man? Did he split?” before finding him texting alone in the corner.

New York Daily News

Mena has actually been married before, which is a big no-no in the catholic church. Perhaps her conservative mother-in-law isn’t happy about her son marrying a divorcee and Mena is trying to avoid giving her something else to dislike. Her fiance, concert promoter Simone Sistito, has at least two tattoos, on his arm and chest, which will presumably be covered on their wedding day, while Mena has a small sun at the bottom of her breast bone and another large tattoo on the back of her neck and shoulders of a lion. The latter could be a little difficult to hide, but perhaps Mena could consider Hollywood make up. Often tattoos are covered on screen by make up for stars.

Mena has not revealed the date for her nuptials, Kendra will marry her fiance Hank Baskett in early June.

    Hiding tattoos from nuns? Why?

  2. Lem says:

    tattoo covering makeup works very well. We just used it on my cousins very large tramp stamp. Covered all night and did not rub off on the white dress. I didn’t know Mena had been married. She looks awful young.

    anyone can get online credentials to perform marriages. DH did it last year to marry friends, took about 10 minutes.

    when me and the hubby got hitched, we had our best friend ordained online and he did the deed! we did and paid for everything so for us it only made sense to have someone special read the vows we wrote.

    our friend has gone on to marry three other couples! it’s totally legal and binding, all the papers filed with the state agencies.

    Pretty sure that when Kendra says that she wants to be married by a minister that just getting anyone ordained isn’t her plan.

    @ #4,

    IF she wants a “Spiritual” wedding performed by a minister, right on. But it seems that you’re implying that getting “just anyone” ordained would make it less Spiritual or something. I have been to plenty of church weddings that have ended in divorce, and those were performed by a minister in a sacred place.

    Point is, doesn’t always matter who performs the ceremony, it’s the actions and intent of those getting married that should be important.

    we had a ‘real minister’ not once in the 15 times or so she said it, did she get any part of my husband’s name right. First. middle. or last. This after weeks of ‘counsel’ she insisted on.
    also I’m quite sure you’d have to explain the difference in minister, preacher and pope to Kendra
