OlderAnna Nicole Smith’s WEDDING PHOTOS
The Anna Nicole Smith wedding photos have arrived… check them all out in the gallery! Read more deets on the wedding after the jump…
UPDATE :: Apologies, images removed!
Anna Nicole Smith, 38, and lawyer Howard K. Stern, 37, boarded the 41-ft. catamaran Margaritaville in the early morning hours of Sept. 28 and set sail off the coast of the Bahamas’ Paradise Island – and then pledged their love in a commitment ceremony. During the simple ceremony, Smith and Stern exchanged vows and temporary rings before a Baptist minister and some of the couple’s close friends. Although the high-seas ceremony is not legally binding (and no marriage certificate was issued), the pair “made a commitment before God to be there for one another, to be each other’s strength during this difficult time.”
“Howard and Anna were both crying and kissing and holding hands. It was kind of sad and happy at the same time,” friend and former Dynasty actor John James said. The bittersweet ceremony came, after all, on the heels of the still-unexplained death of Smith’s 20-year-old son Daniel on Sept. 10, just three days after the former Playboy pinup gave birth to her second child, a 6-lb. 9-oz. daughter named Dannielynn Hope. After the ceremony, the couple literally took the plunge into the balmy waters off the coast of a nearby island. After guests toasted the couple with champagne and apple cider, the pair celebrated in their own special way – with some fresh Kentucky Fried Chicken, ferried to the wedding party by sailboat. Of the questionable timing of the ceremony, Smith’s Nassau attorney Michael Scott explained, “This was intended to be a lift to steel them for Daniel’s funeral.” And while their relationship came as a surprise to many, Smith’s longtime lawyer and confidant revealed on Larry King Live two days before the ceremony that he had loved Smith “for quite some time,” and that he hoped they would someday marry. Stern, who also revealed in the Sept. 26 Larry King interview that he (not Smith’s ex, photographer Larry Birkhead, who has since filed a paternity suit) is the father of Smith’s daughter Dannielynn Hope, has a tender moment with the 3-week-old baby girl. While still reeling from the sudden death of her son Daniel, Smith cradles Dannielynn, whom Stern has called their “one ray of hope.” “She is just devoted to this child,” a close friend said, “in the same way she was devoted to her son.

It looks like she needs bed rest or something. She does no look sober. The baby is cute!

Well said traci, I totally agree!
She looks really torn up………..not
Rebecca and rest–
Hopefully you have never lost anyone that you have loved like a child or spouse, but I can tell you some of your actions are totally bizarre. You will do anything to escape a pain so crushing, so forever…that you really do seem crazy. Maybe she is grasping at the hope of happiness in the future. Maybe she is just trying to escape the pain. MAybe she figures she’ll need the million to fight Larry Birkett. You have to ask yourself does Larry love Dannilynn or is he in it for child support. It is really easy to criticize if you’ve never been there. Those of us that have, have far more compassion because we know what it is to look into the bowels of hell and know the pain will never leave.
Traci, I am no fan of ANNA and never will be.
I do not approve of her lifestyle I feel so sorry for Daniel not ANNA.
I am just sick of Larry dickhead and the way he went on the air and to anyone who will listen that he is the father , he wants full phisycal custody and that the baby is addicted to drugs, why not give ANNA sometime to grieve and burry her son, maybe even she is still in denial about the death of Daniel, she is trying to not face it, and she is clinging to Howard for support.
If the baby is Larry’s they need to work together behind close doors for the sake and well being of little Dannie so she does not end up with issues when she is a teenager like Nicole Richie and all of them Hollywood mess up kids.
wow, did she just suddenly gain 234234 lbs? last time i heard of her, didn’t she do this weight loss program?
i do feel bad about how her son just so suddenly passed away, but that woman needs to find herself some dignity.. STAT.
Becky, you’re so right ON! Don’t know her intentions re $, but whatever happened to mourning someone!

Well said traci, I totally agree!
And to whomever feels that she needs time to overcome the lose of her son…her actions are speaking loud and clear. He hasn’t even been buried yet and she’s running off and staging a wedding…on a boat…frolicking in the ocean…whatever happened to having someone come to the house and performe the ceremony? Why did it have to be this big to-do?
So she could sell the pictures!
Publicity!
I wonder if she’s trying to get pictures of her son in this casket so she can make some more money! Sick *****!
People that go through the hell of losing a child or spouse as someone put it do weird thing, yes. But not like what she’s doing. And you’d think that Howard would have enough sense not to have this type of in your face wedding. Ok, so your getting married…get married…but at a time like this…when she’s in the public eye…he should have known better than to have an in your face wedding and publish the pictures. DUMB ASS!
Some lawyer…he should be fired! And as her husband, can he even represent her anymore? Probably not…that’s why they’re selling all these photos…they’re going to have to pay a real lawyer to chase after her dead husbands millions…
Dancer-
It sounds as though you have suffered such a loss and for that, I send you my deepest sympathies. I have 3 children and a husband and I can tell you if something happened to one of them, I would be devastated for life.
I can also tell you I have been around those that have suffered terrible losses and not understood some of the things that they did in the months following. I did however understand that they were having a rough time and were trying to make it through in any way they could. On the other hand, their behavior was NOT in any way disrepectful to the person they had lost.
The actions that Anna has displayed since her sons death have been incredibly disrepectful to his memory. The largest of which is what allows his remains to not have YET at this point been laid to rest. The fact that other family members and their grieving has be discounted so that she may go on in her merry ole way. Thus the reason I stated that she loves and thinks only of herself. It is shameful. Feel sorry, oh so sorry for the Grandparents and other family members that have not been able (and may never be able) to say goodbye to this dear child. It is my opinion that their very relation to Anna has caused THEM deep suffering for many years.
As far as Birkheads motivations go, until someone comes forward and tells us all that he is scum from the bottom of the earth, has molested a child in the past, has other children he walked away from or something along those lines, I will believe that he is truly concerned for the well being of this baby. Would ANY of us do less then what he has done if we thought for a minute that the baby was of our own blood? I don’t think so. How can anyone make excuses for Anna’s behavior and in the same breath fault this man for fighting for what he believes to be his own flesh and blood? I wonder sometimes what this world has come to.
gross
Looks like someone burnt her face. Reminds me of bad ’skin resurfacing’ pictures.

Again another great post.
Dancer I am sorry for your personal loss.
Yes I have had to help with a very young child, 8 yrs old, burial. It was excrucating. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. And yes everyone does handle it in thier own way. But never once did anyone involved ever try to do anything but protect and respect the memory of that young life lost.
She hasn’t even buried her beloved son yet. Anything else comes after.
She wouldn’t need any money to fight Larry B. if he really isn’t Dannilynn’s daddy.
Something is off here.
What the heck with all the heckling?? Geez. Why not let her have this one joyous occcasion… one can only imagine how much despair she’s been in since her son passed away.
…besides. Duane “Dog” Chapman’s daughter was killed the day before his marriage, so why wasn’t that painted as some heartless act?
The reason why she got married on the day she did was because Daniel had picked it out.
The reason they got married on this day was because Daniel had picked it.
ok, is anyone worried that there is a newborn baby out in the sun? hello! get that baby indoors. Whatever you do w/ her stupid mother is fine w/ me. NEVER marry your lawyer. Conflict of interest. Howard is smart. He’ll get some of Marshall’s money.
Look at the picture of them kissing…he is totally pulling her into him, and she looks like she is bracing herself away from him. This is a staged marriage if I ever saw one. I feel really bad for her, and I hope that she finds much joy in Dannilynn, but why couldn’t they have gotten married, if that’s what they needed to do, without the “celebration” and circus. The woman just lost a child, her bearings cannot be back to normal. Howie is just jumping right in and getting what he wants while she is vulnerable.
IMHO the explanation of the wedding date being that of Daniel’s choice to me is just a cover for their lack of class and tact.
Here’s how I see it happened. Howard is talking to Anna about Berkhead wanting a DNA test of the baby. And according to the law where she is, if there is a marriage and the man is stating he is the father, there won’t be a DNA test. The law says that if the husband says he is the father, no need for DNA testing. This we’ve already read on other sites as well. So Howard tells Anna that they should hurry up and get married, publish pictures so that the marriage is common knowledge and the laws there will be in their favor. Also, so the public doesn’t freak out, let’s just say that it was Daniel’s choice to wed on this date since he would have still been visiting with us and the baby. Everyone wins here…and no DNA will be done on the baby.
As far as this Berkhead dude. I’m with the rest of you guys…I’ve not heard one bad thing about him. No drugs, alcohol or child porn and the like. None of the media has dug up anything from his past. I do however question his timing. He didn’t come forward until after Daniel died. He and Anna broke up after she was what, 5 or more months pregnant. She didn’t announce it to the world until she was 5 months along. When she actually gave birth to the baby I read that he put up a statement on his website that said he knew nothing of a baby. Now all of a sudden he’s going to anyone in the media who’ll give him 15 minutes of their air time and claiming he’s the father and acting all emotional. It doesn’t add up.
If in fact this is his daughter…I’m all for him and his legal search for the truth!!!!!!!!!
Hi! Very nice site! Thanks you very much! RNOWw6TCm0EITe
I just have to comment on the reply above about Anna not being a real blonde and Larry either, saying that the baby appears to be blonde if not reddish color hair. And determining by that (educated?) guess that STERN is not the father, just makes me laugh. People’s hair changes as they get older! Most children’s hair that is blonde when young turns dark as they age. Anna could definitely have been blonde or even reddish haired, as could Howard as a child! I had black hair as a newborn, then turned white blonde as a young child, to now a light brown as a woman. Great hypothesis Tracy. I think I’ll just wait until DNA evidence determines who the real father is.
I don’t think so….
