Remember that phase you went through sometime in middle school? The one where you shopped exclusively in the ‘punk’ section of Claire’s Accessories and thought you were so?rebellious for wearing copious amounts of eyeliner and Converse All Stars? It looks like Avril Lavigne never grew out of hers.?
Do people still use the word ’emo’? Well if they do, Avril’s Canada Day wedding to Chad Kroeger, the formerly floppy haired Nickelback singer, fall firmly underneath that umbrella. of course, the official theme was ‘romantic goth’ , but no goth worth their salt would be caught dead with straggly hair extensions and poorly applied eyeliner.
The wedding took place in a whopping great castle somewhere in the south of France, and the celebrations apparently lasted three whole days. What is it with famous people and not being able to confine their weddings to one day? Your guests have their own lives too, you know.
Woah, a black wedding dress and black roses? Slow down there, you crazy girl. No but seriously, props for not having a totally cookie-cutter wedding. Celebrity weddings are always a good source of ridiculous displays of wealth and ‘taste’, so nothing’s more boring than a strapless ivory dress with little sparkly bits on it.
That eyeliner though. You’d have thought a chief bridesmaid would have stepped in with the baby wipes before she headed off down the aisle. One that really cared about her would, anyway. Chavril met while he was helping her record her fifth album – oh goodie – and Avril told Nylon magazine that the pair recorded a song together that would be used in the ceremony. So this whole wedding was just a clever ruse to trick people in to listening to your music? For shame, Chavril, for shame.
Avril told ‘Hello’ Canada that she wanted the whole affair to be ‘over the top’, which probably explains the whole French castle thing. She said:
“I wanted to make sure it's a crazy vacation and an experience of a lifetime for our guests. I wanted it to be over the top. I'm obsessed with castles and I love French d?cor and goth ? I found this castle in France and we visited it and it was perfect.”
Congratulations you crazy kids, I can’t wait to see your blonde, bearded, Canadian babies with questionable tastes in music.

Why can’t Avril do what she wants? Why can’t she have the wedding of her dreams? I don’t understand why you are so infatuated with criticizing her choice. I can’t wrap my head around why she can’t do what she wants without people questioning it. Dumb.

Yeah, I know you’re a gossip e-rag, but at least bring us snark about interesting people?
