...insults with Orson Bean. Held in tony venues like Radio City Music Hall, the presentations involve elaborate stage presentations, comedy bits and star walk-ons - the aesthetic is somewhere between an awards show and an insurance dealers' regional sales meeting.

The bride, 42, wore a dress designed by maid of honor Stella McCartney, an antique veil and a 37-carat diamond-cross necklace on loan from Harry Winston; the groom, 32, sported a kilt, as did the couple's four-month-old son ROCCO.
