Stranger Things' resident skeptic Brett Gelman swapped supernatural drama for real-life romance, tying the knot in sun-drenched Tuscany. The intimate Italian ceremony unfolded like a Pinterest dream come true, picturesque villa, swooning guests, love floating thicker than Mediterranean humidity. Fans eagerly devoured each dreamy detail of the actor's matrimonial milestone, hearts melting faster than gelato in July. Then came the wedding photos, and suddenly everyone's attention pivoted from the heartfelt vows to an unexpected plot twist.

Fashion rebellion struck the altar as Brett Gelman boldly defied wedding tradition, sporting a sheer long-sleeve shirt with an oversized bow that practically demanded its own zip code. Completing his avant-garde ensemble with pristine white satin pants and classic black shoes, the actor transformed from Stranger Things' Murray Bauman to fashion maverick. Though the June 2024 nuptials remained under wraps until People magazine recently blew the lid off, it was not the ceremony that set social media ablaze, it was that outfit. Once again proving that in celebrity weddings, sometimes the clothes outshine the "I do's."
