Love and loyalty are the inevitable traits that hold a marriage together. When you fall in love, you vow to keep the fondness and warmth for each other all life long, such is the sanctity of love marriage. And, when celebrities get hitched, it all plays out like a fairytale romance in the minds of their fans. However, this picture-perfect disposition can be a myth as well.
