You know what you don’t know. Through the years, countless celebrities have been bitten by the love bug — hard and fast. While couples traditionally spend months, even years, planning their weddings after getting engaged, it’s not totally uncommon for Hollywood to do it differently.
Take Amy SchumerAnd Chris Fischer for example: Just three days after the chef popped the question to the comedian in bed (“He kind of threw the ring box at me and he goes, ‘I got you this,’” she later recalled), they exchanged vows during a super low-key ceremony in Malibu in 2018.
“Most of the guests found out the wedding was happening from a text Amy sent,” a source told Us WeeklyOnly at that time. “It was, ‘Hey, this is happening. It’s possible to make it if you want. If not, no worries.’ … It was very laid-back — just how ChrisAnd Amy wanted it.”
Of course, Schumer and Fischer were not the first — nor the last — celebrities to get engaged and married within a 12-month period. Kim Kardashian and Kris HumphriesDid it in 2011? Britney SpearsAnd Kevin Federline2004 Justin BieberAnd Hailey Baldwin2018
