Ever wonder what it would be like to be famous? Consider:

That's right: Hulk hasn't been noted for anything consquential for a few decades, but the power of fame is so persistent he releases his wedding information by having his lawyer call AP. If I were the lawyer, billing by the hour, I would have stretched that call out a bit. Say, AP, as long as I've got you on the line, my client might be interested in playing the lead role in "The King and I" so I'd like to talk about your recent story considering King Bhumibol Adulyade and Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn of Thailand. Sure, I'll spell it. Ready? Okay. B as in Bhagavad Gita . . . H as in Hubert H. Humphrey . . . " And so on. You could make a fortune.

Wouldn't be a celebrity wedding without scum-coated paparazzi trying t get a peep"

I'm not advocating violence against paps, but if you closeline someone trying to get into a wedding to which you're not invited, you're asking for some knuckle pie.
