Jennifer Aniston brought her BFFs on her Bora Bora honeymoon: fine or weird?

wenn5686925

Sure, let’s do another Jennifer Aniston story. Why not? There’s still a ton of information coming out about Jennifer and Justin Theroux’s wedding and honeymoon. We now know for sure that Jennifer and Justin are in Bora Bora. They’re apparently staying at the luxurious Four Seasons. And they are not alone! Justin and Jennifer brought some buddies on their honeymoon:

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux touched down in Bora Bora on Thursday to begin their honeymoon – but not without a little help from their famous friends. The couple, who were wed in a top-secret ceremony on Wednesday at their Bel Air home, were photographed arriving to the Polynesian destination with a group of travel buddies that includes Jason Bateman, Chelsea Handler, and maid of honor Courteney Cox.

The pair flew with their friends on a private plane out of Los Angeles, inviting the honeymoon tag-a-longs because they want the celebration to last as long as possible, a source told PEOPLE.

The trip isn’t their first to the tropical destination. The pair celebrated Theroux’s birthday and their second anniversary in Bora Bora at this time, last year.

[From People]

I can understand how two people who have been together for years might want some extra people around for fun times, as long as those friends weren’t attached at the hip and you didn’t have to spend your whole honeymoon as a group. But Chelsea Handler on your honeymoon? That would be a nightmare for most people, I think.

What else? Us Weekly had some more info about the wedding food and once again, I have to give it to Aniston – she didn’t do one of those terrible no-cake, all-vegan weddings that were all the rage a few years ago. JustJen served “everything from chicken, fish, sausage, fettuccine carbonara with pork and mostaccioli pasta with red sauce.” And they did a real cake with puppet toppers, of course.

TMZ says that Aniston didn’t do a traditional wedding gown but went for something “flowy, white and summery.” Howard Stern and Robert Downey Jr. toasted the couple and Sia sang several songs, then Sam Ronson DJ’d. The party went on until 4 am.

    It’s okay to bring your friends, I guess. But Chelsea Handler is just tiresome. I would want to divorce if she was on my honeymoon.

  2. Shambles says:

    I think the timing is really funny.
    3 celebrity marriages break up in the span of a week, and then JustJen finally get married. I don’t know what it means, but it means something right? Right?!

  3. Pinky says:

    There’s something off about Theroux but I can’t and won’t put my finger on it.

    • FingerBinger says:

      It’s the eyebrows.

    • minime says:

      It’s the fake tan? (do we get a price if we figure it out?)

    • WinnieCoopersMom says:

      Permanent wax-face.

    • minx says:

      Tiny little black-panted legs.

      • Brodie says:

        He makes up for the “tiny” legs in much more important parts.

      • Amelie says:

        Brodie it must be his cooking, because he is pretty repulsive to look at, he has short stumpy legs and an ill-proportioned torso, he has a boy body and it sure is not packing anything down below, such a disappointment. Again, boy body. Nor is it his mind as he seems to be only slightly less a head of cotton wool as Aniston. I go with cooking.

      • Brodie says:

        There are plenty of pics of him jogging in sweats. He’s definitely gifted. The nude pics of the Pitt show a serious lack in the same department.

      • Amelie says:

        There was only one, that was for his character, and it was shown that he was wearing stuffing down there. Having seen nude pics of Brad, even as a show-er, he is well-endowed. I’m not sure why you are so obsessed with Pitt. Jealousy?

      • lola says:

        Old man, low hanging balls, Brodie, not attractive, not sexy, and doesn’t mean anything else is bigger than a cocktail wiener.

      • lola says:

        Pitt has something that pleases the women he’s been with, they can’t get over him. Goop admitted it took her YEARS to get over Brad, and we know Aniston would have dropped skinny jeans in a heartbeat, if Brad had bothered to even glance her way, even after 11 years. He’s kept Angelina Jolie, who we all know could have her pick of men, happy and content for over a decade. Theroux may be a perfectly nice guy that likes his make-up and too small clothes, but give me a MAN, like Pitt, any day of the week.

    • Krista says:

      Lol to all of these replies.

  4. Lucky says:

    I definitely would not have turned down the invitation 😉

  5. ladyg says:

    I’ve never really cared about Jennifer Anniston; don’t pay much attention to her. But, for whatever reason clicked on this article. And now I have an opinion about JustJen: I don’t like her. My distaste has nothing to do with her friend-dotted honeymoon. Nope, my shallow distaste is all about these pictures. Don’t know why, but they make me really, really feel some sort of way about these two — and not in a good way. Like, they’re the Hollywood clique most like the mean, but popular, clique in high school.

    Another thing: It may be just me, but don’t they feel like a group of friends that doesn’t include anybody that isn’t white. Like, they are the H-wood click that is all white, all the time. Not saying they’re racists — not at all. They’re just “those people.” I bet they’re all secret Republicans, too.

    • Carmen says:

      I don’t think she feels comfortable unless she’s surrounded by people who are just like her. As for him, I think he’s along for the ride as long as she’s footing the bills.

    • Tulip Garden says:

      Jennifer has been outspoken as a democrat. I think she showed off her home baked celebratory Obama election cake in photos on Oprah.
      But, wait, maybe she was just pretending? Could be. She probably pretends all the time about everything. You know, up is down, down is up, I’m so confused now😮

    • icy says:

      Lol, love this!!

    • sills says:

      Trying to imagine anyone criticizing a group of friends for being “all black, all the time” or “all Hispanic, all the time.” Failing.

    • WinnieCoopersMom says:

      Are you really critiquing her for not having a token non-white person in tow? What a strange thing to criticize. People have their friends, who are usually a lot like themselves. Blacks travel together, Indians travel together. LOL this is very normal.

      • ladyg says:

        Sills, spare me. Seriously.

        WinnieCoopersMom – I’m not criticizing, just observing. Sharing the first thoughts that came to my head. It ain’t serious.

        Tulip Garden: The OPRAH Cake! That’s Right! My Bad. I wonder if Oprah and Gail get invited to Mexico. Oprah does love herself a Margarita, if remember correctly. Please gossip gods, please let there be pictures and a story soon, of Jason Bateman, Oprah and Justin Theroux throwing down in Cabo. Please. It would give me life!!! (I want audio too. K, thanks.)

      • JaneFR says:

        … in the states. I was very shocked the first time I came to the US and saw black, with asian and hispanics at the sames places but in separated groups. It’s almost never the case here. No saying it’s racism or anything, just very different. I had never felt that black in my life.

      • Rosalee says:

        Hey! I travel with a white person in tow with me everywhere I go…I thought it was this season’s accessory.

    • minx says:

      As much as I don’t like Aniston, I remember reading that she went to a fundraiser for Obama in 2008 and donated. So she, at least, isn’t a Republican. The others, I don’t know.

      • Keaton says:

        Yeah she was a very early Obama supporter (well early for Hollywood). Pretty sure she was a supporter pre-Iowa caucuses. So if nothing else she sounds like a legit Democrat

    • ladyg says:

      OK, I am officially obsessed with these pictures and comparing them to a high school clique. You should probably ignore me. But yeah, they are totally giving me high school flash backs like I haven’t had in decades! Every popular clique in high school has one less-than-beautiful girl in it. And she’s usually mean. Maybe the meanest. That’s Chelsea Handler.

    • hmph says:

      I’m black and I think you’re being ridiculous. All this you can tell from a few pics? And I don’t believe in being friends with someone of a different “race” just because. I don’t care if your clique is all white, who cares? Be friends with anyone you want and get along with!
      And I am not really a fan of any of Jennifer Aniston’s friends and even if they were to all be racist I wouldn’t care as long as they’re not harming anyone and I’m obliged to support them in any way.

      • ladyg says:

        I wish everything wasn’t so serious all the time. It’s exhausting. Just a silly observation. And yes, I am black too.

      • hmph says:

        I know you were being somewhat silly but it was so stupid I had to comment on it. Cheers!

    • Brodie says:

      Lady’s, Xanax is a wonderful product.

      • Amelie says:

        Is that what they have over at DListed?

      • Amelie says:

        Or Female First. No, it would be something more illicit there. Like Crystal Meth. Maybe you should try something else? Might make you less psycho.

    • jwoolman says:

      It’s a very small group, too small to draw any such conclusions.

      If she added someone non-white to the group, people would be yelling “token!”. I don’t think she can win no matter what she does.

  6. Matador says:

    They’re older, they’ve been together a while, going away alone isn’t really that novel. Why not bring your friends? I don’t get the Chelsea Handler thing, but it’s not my getaway.

    Sounds like a fun time was had by all. Mazel tov.

    • The Original G says:

      I’m older, been married a while and getting away with DH isn’t that novel, but I look forward to it with achy happiness. I’m always planning something for us. I wouldn’t marry someone that I didn’t feel that confederacy with.

      I don’t get this, but hey, whatever. Everyone has their own way.

      • Zapp Brannigan says:

        I am the same way Original G, I am almost like a kid at Christmas with the planning and re-planning of what we will do,we are “holidaying” at home this year so my next activity is a boat trip around the Cliffs of Moher (west coast of Ireland).

        Good luck to these two, I wish them many years of happiness.

      • minime says:

        Indeed to each their own.
        I find it really cool to go somewhere with friends but I’m also always looking forward for some time away just with my partner. I guess it might be different for people with a lot of free time and money…In my case I always feel the time out of work/home duties is so short that it’s really nice to use it to enjoy the company of my SO. No way would I share my honeymoon! But as I said, when you have the time and money…

  7. Guest says:

    Do these two do anything without friends? All of their vacations except the European one was with friends. And to even have them at your honeymoon. Weird. If this this wedding is so secret and private then how come we know more details about this wedding. Who is releasing all if this information? Kerry W, Scarlett, Ashton, they had truly private weddings.

    • Brodie says:

      Having good friends to share your life is a wonderful thing. If the Pitts had some, maybe they’d both look better.

      • Colette says:

        Everyone is not blessed with lovely eyeballs like Justin.I can’t wait to see Justin Jr.Or Justine with Jen’ s original nose and chin.

    • Amelie says:

      Why drag the Pitts into it? They have plenty of real friends by the way, not industry hangers on.

      • lola says:

        The Pitt children also have real family, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, cousins, they actually see on a regular basis.

  8. boredblond says:

    If you’ve lived together for years, it’s not like you’ve never had that ‘just us honeymoon period’ already. If they want friends on a vacation, what’s the big deal?

    • WinnieCoopersMom says:

      Exactly. These two have been together for a long time and have traveled internationally together a lot. No doubt they had their own suite for “private time,” so why not? She certainly has the resources to bring them along. This couple is not like the average American newlyweds: getting married at 25, probably new to travel, sex-crazed, broke and trying to get away from their parents. LOL..this actually sounds fun.

      • AmandaPanda says:

        We had part of our honeymoon in Bora bora. We met one of those 25yo couples of the boat going to the main island – they may have been sex crazed to start but they’d booked TWO WEEKS in Bora Bora – one at the four seasons (where we were) and one at the intercontinental “to mix things up a little”. We met them on day 6 and they were So bored. They were trying to get people to come and party with them. Conclusion: even tropical islands get dull after awhile. (luckily we only spent a few days on BB before going on to other islands/activities).

        That said, I can’t in a month of Sundays imagine bringing friends on honeymoon. I loved the time to reflect with Mr panda and reminisce about our awesome qedding. It was special.

    • Original T.C. says:

      It’s not like they have been together for 10 or 20 years. They have been a couple only like 2 years right? Yeah they aren’t just going on “vacation”, they are going on a honeymoon. The vast majority of people don’t take their friends with them on their honeymoon because it’s usually a time to form an even deeper bond just the two of you. My boyfriend loves my friends but he would put his foot down at me inviting them to our honeymoon. That’s just too private and we have been together longer than Jen and Justin. Also, Jen and Justin have time and money, they can go on vacation with their friends any other time.

      If you can’t spend time alone with your new spouse even on your honeymoon then there is something major lacking in your relationship that you need other people around to fulfill. It’s like when a couple doesn’t really have that much interesting to do to in each other’s company and they get a kid to fill in the void or the wife asks her Mom or sisters to stay with them for company.

      But I think most non-infested Jen fans see her relationship with Justin as mainly a friendship than a love match, nothing wrong with that. When you hang out with one friend, your bring out the rest of the gang.

      • Nina says:

        Yeah I think it’s symptomatic of an issue. maybe they truly wanted to enjoy with friends, but if you need friends along it may mean you just dont have enough to say to each other.

  9. minx says:

    I vote weird, but I don’t like her so I’m not objective.

  10. G says:

    It’s fine! Totally wouldn’t bother me, BUT they have to be the right friends, people you can enjoy and chill out with. That’s not always easy, but they’ve all been friends for so long that i think it’s no big deal to them.

    and tbh, it would get boring if it was just the two of you. Most people get married after living together for years now, so it’s not like you necessarily NEED or WANT 2 weeks of alone time to fk each others brains out!!

  11. Kate says:

    I think that’s become pretty normal now, especially with the popularity of destination weddings. Young newlyweds and people who haven’t really travelled much still seem to be doing a proper honeymoon, but lately everyone my age has just been having one long party with all their friends. Why not? They’ve had plenty of couple vacations before, and they’ll have plenty after, that’s not something special like it used to be, so why not extend the celebration with your nearest and dearest.

    • Guest says:

      But they haven’t had couple vacations. All of their vacations have been with friends.

      • Jayna says:

        Not all. They’ve vacationed in Italy alone. They’ve vacationed in Hawaii alone. They vacationed in Bora Bora a year ago alone.

      • lola says:

        Not really, alone, they had a photographer she hired with her, and if you look closely, you’ll probably get a glimpse of Huvane hovering behind them.

    • Guest says:

      @jayna They were with Ben stiller in Hawaii and their bora bora trip last year guests there said she was with friends. The only trip only was Italy. Very odd.

      • Jayna says:

        @Guest, thanks. I didn’ t know that. I just remembered seeing photos of them alone. Yeah, I like some alone time as a couple, not group trips or couples trips all the time. Too much nonstop conversation going on. It would give me a headache.

  12. Carmen says:

    Maybe they need diversion to keep from boring each other into a coma? They never did seem to spend much time together before the wedding. She’s not the world’s most stimulating conversationalist. What does she ever talk about besides her hair and her beauty regimen?

    • minx says:

      Yeah, and while I’m sure they get along fine, it seems like a marriage of convenience. Which is fine, too. She gets to finally says she’s married again and not a loser in love, and have a partner for events. He gets the use of her money (I assume) and greater visibility. They seem congenial to me, not what I would call madly in love.

    • Sullivan says:

      Yeah, I think they bore each when they’re alone. They need others around to break the monotony of tanning and waxing. Plus, they both give off an asexual vibe. When either one of them tries to look sexy it just looks like they’re constipated. Gawd, I enjoy them.😂

    • Lucky Charm says:

      “What does she ever talk about besides her hair and her beauty regimen?”
      ———————————————————————————————————-
      I think that about sums up the limits to her topics of conversation.

    • lola says:

      How could they be bored with each other, they never see each other. They could have caught up on the last 5 or 6 months, since they were together.

  13. Jayna says:

    I could see it with the kind of money they’ve got. Invite a few close friends and give them their own private villas and pools, but Jen and Justin have their majestic villa all off for themselves and have time to have laughs and some great dinners and wine with friends or fun sun activities, but then privacy back at their villa and also have time off together with their own private pool, and jacuzzi and private sauna, etc.

    • WinnieCoopersMom says:

      Actually sounds ideal when you put it like that..alone time and friend time. Perfect, IMO.

      • Bridget says:

        I think it sounds fun! Yes, a honeymoon is a time for romantic dinners and nights together, but what’s wrong with fun with friends during the day? Otherwise you’re either just staring at each other all day or hanging with randoms you meet at the hotel/beach. It’s not like they’re all sharing rooms to make money.

      • Amelie says:

        Bridget, many people travel, explore, do tourist activities – ever heard of it? I don’t know anyone who goes on a honeymoon to sit around a hotel all day, day in day out or beach.

  14. Lara Morgana says:

    Hope she has a long, happy marriage and I really, really, really hope that people stop bringing up the Brange every time they mention her name.

  15. M.A.F. says:

    Chelsea Handler on any trip is a nightmare.

    I agree with Matador up top, they are older so why not bring friends along? Especially if you are close to them.

  16. Manjit says:

    They’ve got the rest of their lives to holiday alone, I’d go for the extended party especially if the venue was somewhere as beautiful as Bora Bora. I’m not sure my mates would be so keen to come on my honeymoon as my budget might just stretch to a couple of 8-berth caravans in Great Yarmouth.

  17. Rainbow says:

    I wish I had the money to go to Bora Bora!That place looks amazing. And the resort they are staying,just wow.
    A suite above the water,yes please.

  18. Tiffany27 says:

    Idk, it sounds like it was kinda fun. I wouldn’t invite my friends to my honeymoon, but I can see why someone would.

  19. Neah23 says:

    I think it’s odd because when Jen and Justin go on vacation their friends come along so they’ve never really had a vacation alone time together with out all these extra people, so why not make your honeymoon just the two of them. Much like Leonardo DiCaprio who never spends time alone with any of his girlfriends it’s always a group thing.

    • Rainbow says:

      It sounded weird to me at first,but then I thought that they will be staying in huge private villas so they would have their time alone,its not that their friends will be staying next to them at a small hotel or they would be crowded.
      They will have their privacy and also fun and dinners with friends,it doesn’t sound bad.
      These people are crazy wealthy and have access to every luxury possible,its not the same as regural people going to honeymoon with their friends.

    • Jayna says:

      I posted higher up that they’ve vacationed alone in Bora Bora a year ago, alone in Italy also, and also alone in Hawaii. In Mexico, I’ve never seen them alone, for sure.

      • Neah23 says:

        I’ve seen pictures of them in all those places and they are always with friends so I’m not sure what the person above is talking about.

  20. Freddy Spaghetti says:

    I wouldn’t want Chelsea anywhere near me, but Jennifer and Justin have been together a while, and I can see wanting to keep the post wedding party going. My cousin and her husband were together for five years before the wedding, and they took several friends on their honeymoon.

  21. Tarsha says:

    They remind me of Eddie Cibrian and Leann Rimes. Not just that the way they each got together is almost the same, but Eddie and Leann cannot go anywhere on vacation together alone. Eddie always has to have a buffer; Lizzy and Dave, her hubby. In fact, if memory serves, Leann and Eddie brought Lizzy and Dave along to his and Leann’s honeymoon. It is really weird. What is either couple afraid of? Why do they need company, on their honeymoon, of all times? I wanted to be with my husband and only my husband and have his attention 100% and vice versa. The thought of bringing anyone else along on our honeymoon, is a…I can’t even.

    • claire says:

      This is who I thought of – they’ve never been alone. They always have to have buffers. They don’t even just go to dinner often times without bringing that weird assistant of hers. Says a lot. Justin and Jen seem to do the same, but definitely have a higher ratio, I think, of being alone so who knows, it’s probably fine. Either way, I don’t see this marriage lasting long. It just doesn’t carry that air about it.

  22. Anguishedcorn says:

    This may just be the stage I’m currently living through coloring my perception, but to me it reminds me of my 6 year old who doesn’t want to be anywhere or do anything unless there are friends along. In short: weird for adults to not take the time to focus on each other just this once. Especially considering how much time they spend apart.

  23. Jonesy says:

    As long as they don’t start bringing LeAnn & Eddie on their trips, I don’t see a problem with it.

  24. Tiffany says:

    I don’t think they have ever been alone while on trips, so why should this one be any different.

    Also, why now. The marriage I mean. Did Jen read something about herself and she is trying to save face. I really thought that they were going to be a forever engaged couple. Or end it.

  25. Ali says:

    My husband and I pushed our honeymoon back two months to go with our best friends, who are also celebrating their honeymoon. We all work a lot, live in different areas of the country and want to celebrate together. There will be plenty of alone time, but what’s more fun than snorkeling and partying with your best friends in a tropical paradise as newlyweds?

  26. Jayna says:

    I notice some kids are on the trip. Just don’t bring a nanny.

  27. Liberty says:

    Eh, even in my normal people life, I’ve had friends who did this group honeymoon destination thing and had fun, so who knows.

  28. Know-it-all says:

    Give Jen a break please she is living her life as best as she can possibly do.So what the heck she got married to someone less rich than her if it makes her happy whose problem is it congrats Jen wish you the best

    • Neah23 says:

      Are you ok?

      Nobody in this post said anything about Jen having more money then Justin, so I’m unsure what your going on about.

      • jwoolman says:

        There have been several comments that say exactly that, just in different words, for instance sneering about him using her money. The fact that she is wealthier than her husband obviously looms very large in some people’s minds.

    • Amelie says:

      hahaha Know-it-all.

  29. Starrywonder says:

    Can we please call out Aniston and Theroux for having Terry freaking Richards on hand to take their wedding photos? Why is HW giving this disgusting POS a pass?

  30. MaddieH says:

    Was Courteney Cox maid of honor at her first wedding?

  31. Karen says:

    I have friends that can never be alone. Vacations are always with groups. Never go out to dinner alone. I believe they cannot be alone either one wants to be the center of attention all the time or get bored being together.

    Something seems off with these two. Just like the Clooneys. I don’t even believe they are in Bora Bora. I thought I read she doesn’t like to fly–all these years I just remember her in Cabo, NY, London and Italy. People Mag has an odd grainy photo-could be the distance but it looks like a. Fake background with them cut out and placed into it. I wouldn’t put it past Kevin Huvane. She is probably really in Cabo. Lol

    • rudy says:

      This was going to be my exact comment.

      I know people who are NEVER alone. Always have friends and family dropping by 24/7. And they travel in huge groups.

      Nothing at all to do with money. Some of these friends are wellish off and others are barely scraping by. It just has to do with their preference, culture, wants, needs.

      One person described it to me like a running conversation that never stops. You can leave the table and come back and just join in again. Always have been envious of this behavior but I have finally learned that it is not for me. I am just not built that way. Thank gosh, neither is my partner.

  32. Lucky Charm says:

    Did they actually get married, or just throw a really lavish party? There was no mention of any of his family. I cannot imagine him getting married without his parents and brother there.

    It wouldn’t surprise me in the least for her to throw a “wedding” to get everyone off her back about when are they getting married. This way they can still be perpetually engaged without any pressure. And just because you have a minister in collar as a guest, doesn’t mean they are there to perform a wedding ceremony. He could have just been blessing the house, for all we know!

    • hmph says:

      LOL that would be really funny

    • Carmen says:

      Have his family members even met her yet? I’m betting they haven’t, and if they have, they were probably quite underwhelmed. His family are all highly educated, literary people and she doesn’t read anything but self-help books.

      • Amelie says:

        Um, hmmmm. She “thinks thoughts”. Does that count? LOL

      • Carmen says:

        She didn’t say she thinks thoughts, she said she liked to watch her former boyfriend think thoughts. She did say that Justin has pretty eyeballs, though.

  33. Jenna says:

    Some friends of ours got married a couple of years ago and invited us along on the honeymoon. It was an adventure trip style thing and they thought it would be more fun with friends. We had a great time, and there were definitely still opportunities for alone time (for them and also for my husband and myself). The couple seemed to be enjoying it also, my husband and I definitely tried to be sensitive to the fact that they were just married and made sure we had stuff to do ourselves during any downtime so that they didn’t feel obliged to be with us or spend time entertaining.

    That said, when my husband and I got married, we did do a honeymoon trip that was just us, and I really enjoyed that also! Even though we’d already been together a while (longer than JustJen, actually), it was still a really special time together and I remember it very fondly.

    So, bottom line, it’s not weird as long as it’s not just a crutch to avoid spending time with just each other.

    • Brodie says:

      If they wanted to avoid spending time together, why would they marry?

      • Jenna says:

        Plenty of people get married because they feel they have to or to prove to the world that they can, rather than because they have a sincere desire to spend the rest of their life with a person. In Aniston’s case, I could definitely see her wanting to get married more to “show” Brad that she isn’t hung up on him than b/c she is madly in love with Justin. That said, I do hope they are happy with each other and that the marriage endures.

      • Carmen says:

        In her case, to finally shed the “poor dumped, desperate Jennifer” label and prove she can get a man to marry her. In his case, to move up from the C list to the B list and score a lifetime meal ticket into the bargain. Everybody wins.

    I think it is odd.I just saw some pics and Jason brought his daughters,Courtney brought her daughter.I could understand a family oriented trip IF JustJen had kids also.Then again maybe they don’t like to spend alot of time together,just the two of them.So different strokes for different folks.

  35. EN says:

    I think it is cool to bring your friends, if you can afford it. I don’t really understand the idea of honeymoon these days, mot people have known each other for years/ lived together/ had sex, long before they got married.
    Honeymoon is more of a fun vacation now, why not bring your friends.

    Well since she’s 100% weird, it’s normal.

  37. Sofia says:

    “she didn’t do one of those terrible no-cake, all-vegan weddings that were all the rage a few years ago”

    Could someone explain to mean what is this about? There are tons of vegan cakes, so the no cake thing and veganism… I don’t get it?

      It’s just a diss on vegans, who of course only eat yucky ptooie overcooked vegetables and are a downer at parties.

      A nice place to see some very tasty vegan junk food options is the VeganEssentials site, especially around candy-intensive holidays. Loads of tasty but more nutritious foods as well, including frozen and refrigerated foods that they can ship. I also shop at Amazon and VitaCost regularly for dairy-free, egg-free (vegan by default due to allergies mostly), but I need to know what I’m looking for and have to carefully read labels with them. I can relax at VeganEssentials, since I can eat everything they have and they have a pretty large selection.

    It’s weird. Like they can’t function by themselves. And why would anyone agree to go with them? Especially as all of them can afford to go off on their own.

  39. KelT says:

    Nice! When you’ve been together for a while, it’s great to have some friends along. I’m sure they will have their privacy when they want it.

    I don’t care for Chelsea Handler’s persona, but that’s exactly what it is, a persona. As a real person to her friends, she’s probably a blast to be around.

    Sounds like the wedding was a great party with great friends, and that’s the way it should be. Happy for them!

    • jwoolman says:

      Yes, people who know Chelsea Handler as a real person say she’s not only funny but also quite generous. Despite her love of alcohol, she doesn’t let friends drive home drunk. She is obviously on good terms with her family, happily helps them when she can, and obviously likes her siblings’ kids. And she likes mongrel dogs a lot, that’s a good sign. She’s also helped a lot of other comedians.

      I could never stand Don Rickles’ act, but I knew it was unlikely that he was truly like that in real life or else somebody would have killed him early in his career.

      • lola says:

        Don Rickles NEVER called his best friend’s ex’s, girlfriend/wife/Mother of his children, especially one he’d never met, a C**t, in his stand -up routine. No one I’ve ever heard of, has ever done anything so despicable, and downright vicious.

        HoHandler doesn’t deserve a pass for anything, she’s petty, an admitted mistress to a married man with children, a drunk, and a ho. I think that covers her good characteristics.

    • lisa2 says:

      Handler is and unfunny ass..
      she is not on the Honeymoon trip.. at this time anyway.

  40. Catelina says:

    Late on this. I think vacationing with friends sounds really fun, and with most couples I would think a group honeymoon is unusual but I could see the appeal when you’re rich. However, in the case of this couple, it seems like with Justin filming his show for months out of the year and Jen staying in LA without him, they’re hardly ever alone together. Almost all of their vacations together are group vacations. So it makes me wonder if their relationship doesn’t really work when it’s just the two of them and they need other people around.

  41. lisa2 says:

    I would think they would want time alone.. She is about to start a new film and promote another I believe. So yes it is strange regardless of all the people that make a point of any story about her that they did the same; or they had friends that did it or they know someone that does it all the time.

    She took Bateman/ family I think Courteney and her PR guys is there too; so maybe it is a working trip too.
