When Hilary Duff got married last weekend she and her new husband, Mike Comrie’s guests were surprised to learn the 22-year old actress signed a pre-nuptial agreement. But Hilary says she’s in love and has no doubts at all.The ceremony is said to have cost over $500,000.
The bride wore a long, strapless Vera Wang dress, with her hair gathered into a bun beneath an translucent veil. Mike took his place at her side in a tastefully tailored but traditional tuxedo. And Hilary had clear ideas for her gown;
‘I want it to be girlie but not too overwhelming, because I’m so small,’ she said. ‘I mean, people would be like, ‘Whoa, cupcake!”‘
She even hired wedding planner Mindy Weiss to run the whole thing, whose past clients include Jessica Simpson, Gwen Stefani and Adam Sandler. So you can see where the cash went!
‘It feels wonderful to be married,’ the star told friends once vows were exchanged. ‘It hasn’t fully sunk in yet.’
And though the couple’s use of a prenup caused her girlfriends concern, friends say the issue is minor;
“It was a totally amicable agreement,” an insider told the Post. “They love each other, and knew this was just a technicality.”
And there’s good reason to get one – While Hilary has made decent money from Disney, Mike is the heir to a Canadian retail business, ‘The Brick,’ And that makes him worth over $500-million.
But Mike is no skinflint – he bought his new wife a $100,000 Mercedes-Benz SUV for her 20th birthday, and when they got engaged in Hawaii in February the ring was said to worth around $1-million.
Despite this, Hilary claims money’s no issue, and says they share a ’surprisingly natural’ romance.
“We both have busy jobs, and we’re very focused people, so that helps,” she told reporters.
Mike seems to agree; “We both live such different lives, but it’s always fun to support each other and spend time when we get to,” he recently said.
But Hilary’s no dufus with money – She struck an exclusive deal with ‘OK Magazine’ to cover the ceremony. Price? $1 million…
