"  If you thought Memorial Day Weekend was reserved for picnics and pool parties, then think again. Those of a certain set spent their holiday one of three ways: At a wedding in Morocco, at a birthday in Madrid or at a television taping an other wedding in Florence.  #poppyandcookie: The Delevingne/Cook Nuptials in Morocco Model and British socialite Poppy Delevingne married her long-time partner James Cook, who works for his family&amp;#039;s aerospace company, at a country club in Morocco.  The list included Princess Beatrice, Sienna Miller, Georgia May Jagger, Alexa Chung, Derek Blasberg, and even Dynasty icon Joan Collins. Poppy&amp;#039;s maid of honor was not surprisingly her sister (and supermodel), Cara, her sported a floral crown with her low-cut gown. After wearing a traditional Chanel dress for the ceremony, Poppy changed into a flowered Pucci dress for her DJ-ed party.  #ms50Madrid: Michael Smith&amp;#039;s 50th Birthday in Madrid Up in Madrid, interior designer Michael Smith celebrated his 50th birthday with partner James Costos, the United States Ambassador to Spain (and a handful of other stylish guests of course). The full weekend affair included a dinner party at the ambassador&amp;#039;s residence, a guided tour of the Museo Nacional del Prado, and a blow-out party in the Ritz&amp;#039;s ballroom, which included pretaped messages from the First Lady and the President talking about the work Smith had done for them in the White House. Guests included Carolina Herrera Jr., Natalie Massenet, and Countess de Ramonones.  #KimyeWedding or #royalwedding (their hashtag*, not ours): The Kardashian/West Wedding Weekend in Paris and Florence And then, there were the Kardashian-West nuptials which started in Paris and ended in Florence. There were a pre-wedding brunch at the Valentino mansion, and a pre-wedding dinner at Versailles that included a Lana Del Rey performance and fireworks and a speech where Kanye even reportedly said Kardashian was even more beautiful than he is talented (we may all need recorded proof of this). There were private jets taking guests from Paris to Florence where the actual wedding took place at the Forte di Belvedere. Kim wore a long-sleeve, lace-covered Givenchy gown, and Kim wore a Balmain gown (plenty of time to change in-between camera takes). John Legend performed, and there were photo-booths for the guests which included Serena Williams, La La Antony, and Riccardo Tisci to snap shots in. (*guests were not permitted to use their phones or Instagram at the wedding). If you&amp;#039;re starting to feel bad about spending your MDW in the boring ol&amp;#039; Hamptons, where you don&amp;#039;t even need a passport to cross counties, don&amp;#039;t fret: Beyonce and Jay-Z did too. After declining an invite to Kimye&amp;#039;s wedding, that is. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
