Yesterday was about celebrating America's independence, but two stars depended on everyone being distracted to pull off surprise weddings!
Vanessa Williams married Jim Skrip, who she met on a cruise along the Nile. The 52-year-old actress and singer has said that she and Skrip had a three-hour conversation on their first date, which is when she knew they had an incredible amount of things in common.
