Clooney Wedding Slammed As “Carefully Choreographed And Satisfyingly Public”

We may have all been enchanted with George Clooney’s recent wedding to Amal Alamuddin but it seems that some had a different view on the four-day Venetian extravaganza.

Your Barrister Boyfriend author Natasha Naish, who previously crowned Alamuddin ‘The Hottest Barrister In London’, slammed the couple’s wedding in a new article for Legal Cheek, in which she is described as “faintly repulsed”.

Naish condemned the event as “slightly unseemly and in-your-face, especially for a couple who profess to be extremely private”,

“The entire Clooney/Alamuddin wedding was a masterful piece of Hollywood magic. It was wildly expensive, carefully choreographed, predictably sentimental and satisfyingly public,” she said.

“The problem I have with the Clooney wedding was not the excessiveness per se, but the back-patting smugness that has accompanied the entire courtship and ceremony. Even though George and Amal careened around Venice in speedboats, posed up a storm for the paparazzi like modern-day royalty and sold their wedding photos to glossy magazines, they received none of the tut-tutting that was directed at Kim Kardashian. Why? Because Kim Kardashian is perceived as vacant and shameless while George is supposedly a sophisticated humanitarian.”

In her diatribe, the writer also referred to Clooney’s ex-girlfriends as “an interchangeable collection of cocktail waitresses” while Alamuddin had taken to her “newfound fame like a duck to water, radiating ‘in love’ while she struts her stuff in surprisingly short couture dresses”.

“For the time being George Clooney is more style than substance, and until he has proven himself as a towering intellect, let us see him for what he is: someone who has benefited from the arbitrary rewards of Hollywood and chosen to splash out on a very flashy and self-aggrandising wedding. Please spare us all the do-gooding talk.”
