Céline Dion Reveals 'Huge' Wedding Injury That Required Medical Attention
HuffPost
The French-Canadian singer married the late René Angélil while wearing an elaborate, crystal-studded Swarovski tiara.
Céline Dion still remembers her wedding tiara — and the bulging, bleeding cut it caused.
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer sat down with Vogue this week to reflect on some of her most memorable fashion moments. While recalling her 1994 nuptials to the late René Angélil, she revealed that her tiara decorated with 2,000 Swarovski crystals really left a mark.
“This big piece is not glued to my head, obviously, it has been sewn,” she said in the video.
“So, no problem, I can manage the weight,” Dion continued. “And when you’re so happy, there’s no weight, there’s no problem, there’s no pain. We rehearsed one time with the dress and the big veil and all that ... in a big ballroom … made of beautiful wooden floors.”
Dion said her practice run was “smooth,” but that when she arrived at the cathedral for her actual wedding, the floor was carpeted — which she hadn’t practiced on. Dion recalled pulling an “immediate facelift” of shock at the time, but then walked the aisle without issue.
