accreditation
It seems like 2015 is the year of break-ups.

So many of our favourite celebs have gotten divorced and made us question if true love even exists. I mean, if Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck can’t make it work who can?

But don’t despair. It’s not all doom and gloom, 2015 also saw many celeb nuptials taking place.

Some were long overdue, others were sweet and passionate and all showed us that love is still going strong.

Here are the celebs that have renewed our faith in love:

1. Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter

Just look how lovingly Benedict looks at his wife!

Absolutely everything about this union was perfect. First Benedict announced his engagement to theater director Sophie Hunter, by placing an old school announcement in the The Times newspaper in London. According to Channel24, the actor loved the old school approach of a traditional announcement. 

Then the stunning couple got married on Valentine's day, according to  E Online. In June, the couple welcomed a baby boy to their perfect family.

2. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

These two were so ready to be married they did it twice! According to People, they legally got married in their LA home in March, and then had another wedding ceremony on Johnny's private island in the Bahamas, where they swapped vows in front of close family and friends, including Johnny's two children. 

 The two met when they did the film The Rum Diary in 2011. A year later they were engaged. Their relationship was surrounded in controversy as Johnny left his partner of 14 years and mother of his children, Vanessa Paradis, but years later he and Amber are still going strong and have the rings to prove it.

4. Stephen Fry and  Elliott Spencer

Stephen Fry announced his marriage to partner Elliot Spencer in the cutest way possible. He tweeted a picture of them signing their marriage register captioned "Gosh. @ElliotGSpencer and I go into a room as two people, sign a book and leave as one. Amazing." And because Stephen is the definition of awesome, he had a doll Oscar Wilde be a witness!

According to The Guardian, Oscar Wilde is particularly significant as he was one of Stephen's most famous acting roles and was imprisoned for gross indecency due to an affair with the son of the Marquis of Queensberry in 1895. The grooms also wore matching  green carnations, another tribute to Oscar Wilde, whose followers would wear them on their lapels. 


5. David Wiese and Chene Smith

Proteas T20 superstar David Wiese, proved that is is possible to get out of the friend zone. He married his best friend, Chene Smith, in a stunning wedding that was featured on Top Billing in May.

The two, who knew each other for 7 years, tied the knot in front of family and friends in Joburg. David's cricket buddies even made a guard of honour out of cricket bats for the couple as they exited the church. To watch the fairy tale wedding click here.

Boy did these two take their time to walk down the aisle. According to the Mail Online, Amy and Darren dated for 14 years, were engaged for 7 of those years and have a 4-year-old daughter, so marriage was more of a formality for them.

Amy has been churning out hit after hit at the box office for years now, so we are very happy she found the time to finally marry the love of her life.

7. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis

Ashton was Mila's first kiss. How sweet is that? According to People, this was back in 1998 when Ashton and Mila were cast mates on the sitcom That 70s Show. Now 17 years later, the two are married and have baby daughter.

The two got engaged in 2014, and were married secretly in July. According to Us Weekly the couple tried to brush off the fact that they were married for a while, and may have in fact been legally married before their ceremony in July, but regardless of when it happened, we are so happy that it did.
