News is out! Mila Kunis is pregnant with fiancé Ashton Kutcher’s baby (beautiful offspring guaranteed). This is the first baby for both Hollywood mega-stars. But now we’re all curious about WHERE they’re going to tie the knot? Celebrity weddings are always lavish, jealousy-inducing events. Here’s some spectacular places where previous A-listers have celebrated nuptials — maybe these could inspire the Kunis-Kutcher team?

The day before the celebration, the couple’s family and close friends (such as celebrity guests Matt Damon and Meryl Streep) were invited to a boat tour of the enchanting area (a favorite spot for lovers and poets). Exquisite antiques, marble bathrooms, fine art, and the most romantic lake views contribute to the beauty that is Villa d’Este. See here for more hotels in Lake Como.
