Secret celebrity weddings have always been pretty trendy, because who really wants their big day ruined by the press coming to try and get pictures? The answer is no one. Although it's really just beginning, the world is finally allowing gay couples to marry (seriously, it's about time America, get over it), but like everyone else, many gay celebrities aren’t going to announce their big day until after it happens. Unless you're Lance Bass of course, then you get married on national TV. Ugh, love Lance.
Before we get to the surprise weddings, we want to take a second and mention our favorite celebrity gay couple ever, which is of course Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. Their wedding was all over the place though and we got to see a play-by-play of their special day. Despite rumors, they are still together and are basically the cutest couple ever. Had to give a shout out to them for being ah-mazing. "The love we felt from the people surrounding us, and the love we have for each other, made it the most beautiful and emotional day," de Rossi told People.
Here are 10 fabulous gay couples in Hollywood who tied the knot and didn't really tell anyone it was happening.

Barry and Garry did not tell friends or family that the occasion was their wedding," an "insider" told the Enquirer.
