Honestly? Because we’re still not over it. The marriage lasted five years. They separated in 2005. That’s a blip in time, but it’s a cultural scar. We all remember where we were when the news of “Brangelina” broke. Ouch.
But let’s go back to that wedding day. July 29, 2000. It was pure, unfiltered 90s/2000s pop culture magic. The kind of thing Friends (her show) and Fight Club (his movie) fans could finally agree on. For one night, the world was united in envy.
Did they have a cake? You bet. Did they dance? Absolutely. Did they look disgustingly in love? Oh, yes. It was the kind of love that makes you believe in soulmates. Or at least in expensive wedding planners.

The guest list was insane.
Picture this: Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow (awkward!), and a bunch of Friends cast members. It was basically a live episode of Entertainment Tonight. There was a live band. Fireworks. Probably a unicorn or two—okay, I made that up, but it felt that magical.
They chose a venue with a ocean view. Very symbolic, right? The tides of love can turn quickly. But for that one night, the waves were perfect. The sunset was probably photoshopped by God. Seriously, it was that perfect.
The wedding ceremony was short. No one really knows the exact vows. But I bet Brad said something charming. And Jen probably laughed. They were the couple that proved opposites attract—he was the brooding bad boy, she was the girl-next-door. It worked.
