Weddings are a majority of the time an excuse for extravagance and going way over a set budget. But in the case of celebrities, going over budget is not an issue. We see these displays of diamonds, fine wine, caviar (which is nasty), and exclusivity unlike those of the common folk. Although “upstaged” in extravagance, strong attention – no, obsession – is given to those wed locked celebrities and their celebration. I look at one celebrity wedding in particular, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s, and compare two sources (one English, the other Spanish) and how the monumental event is described.
One source is the LA Times, in which the article is titled “Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ Chic Southern Wedding.” Right off the bat one can tell an emphasis would be put on the fashion/extravagance of the wedding. This is confirmed with words such as “stylish” in regards to the event and “A-list talent” in regards to the entertainment. The article continues to describe the ambiance of the wedding and what kinds of extravagances were incorporated. Names of designers and jewelers are basic in such articles.
My next choice was Univision.com, a prominent Spanish-language source. The word choice used leads to a more intimate understanding of the couple. Descriptions of the couple as having a “relación sentimental” (sentimental relationship) and referring to the fact that the entertainment was a good friend of the actress; all are indications of the personable aspect the source is trying to portray. Not so much concentrating on the extravagance. It even references where the couple first met. This essentially focused on their persons.
By comparing the two I am in no way saying English sources are focused on materialistic aspects while Spanish on personal, but this gives some insight as to how the sources, both covering the same event, present differing aspects in accordance to the wants of their readership. This then goes back to the idea of that journalism maintains a strong tie to its profit-focused being while maintaining credibility.

Personally I could care less which celebrities get married with the exception of my celebrity crush, Salma Hayek.
