With all of their cards on the table, Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner reached an understanding, and all was well. In June 2003, Costner popped the big question and, of course, Baumgartner said yes.

The couple's wedding took place in September of 2004 on Costner's ranch in Aspen, Colorado. The event was as elaborate as it was beautiful, with Costner arriving in a horse-drawn carriage, and Baumgartner arriving in a vintage pickup truck. They said their vows in a meadow among 320 guests who had been invited to stay over the course of four days, some of whom included Tim Allen, Bruce Willis, and Don Johnson. 

Speaking with InStyle about the wedding venue, Baumgartner said, "One of our common bonds is that we are both big outdoors people." After they said their "I do's," the newlyweds went for a canoe ride. Baumgartner commented that her wedding dress, designed by Monique Lhuillier, was a concern for some when they set off on their boat adventure. "People worried about my dress, but it was so romantic. Kevin paddled me into a private world," she said.
