Justin serenaded Jessica as she walked down the aisle. The singer played the guitar and belted out "an original piece I wrote specifically for the evening" as Jessica made her way to the altar.
Jessica did not stick to tradition. Unlike most brides, Jessica opted for a custom petal pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown complete with a long veil, and Justin donned a Tom Ford tux, which he helped design. Jessica's gown is rumored to have cost a whopping $100,000.

Jimmy Fallon interrupted Justin's wedding speech. Justin recalled the hilarious moment in a 2013 interview with Time magazine, saying, "Picture this: I’m in the heart of an impromptu speech at my wedding reception in front of 150 guests, pouring it out to my lovely new bride. You could hear a pin drop. I paused for just a moment in between thoughts. And then there was Jimmy, shouting a joke from his seat, sparking an improv between the two of us that went on for a good five or 10 minutes and had all our guests roaring with laughter. Interrupting the groom’s speech at the wedding reception? Cracking jokes when your buddy is looking desperately for the words to say that he hopes his wife will remember forever? It turned into a moment that everyone there will remember forever. Anyone else would have bombed on that stage. And then I would have kicked their ass."
