Steal that style: Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale
AdvertisementsOn September 14, 2002, there was No Doubt for rockers Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. Stefani, singer in No Doubt, and Rossdale, lead singer of Bush, took their vows in a spectacular London ceremony.
The couple exchanged vows at St. Paul’s Covent Garden. The event may have been traditional in many ways–starting with a custom-made pink and white wedding dress for Dior by John Galliano, complete with an antique lace veil. The couple personalized their ceremony with some unique touches all their own, however, including Rossdale’s escort down the aisle: his sheepdog, Winston.
