Brad Pitt proposed to Jennifer Aniston in 1999 with a sparkler featuring a galaxy-like swirl of diamonds he designed with jeweler Silvia Grassi Damiani. Justin Theroux popped the question on his 41st birthday in 2012 with a massive 8-carat diamond. “It’s a rock, I know,” Jen later told The New York Times. “It took me a while to get used to it.”
The Dresses
Former Prada designer Lawrence Steele custom-made the white glass-beaded, low-back halter-style gown Jen wore to wed Brad in 2000. For her 2015 vow exchange with Justin, she reportedly bought a strapless, flowy, knee-length frock in a creamy hue right off the rack, adding a J.Crew veil.

Jen became the first Mrs. Pitt atop a bluff at the edge of a rented five-acre Malibu property overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The backyard of her $21 million Bel Air home, which she bought the same year she fell for Justin, hosted her second wedding ceremony.
