One of the most talked about celebrity weddings was Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anistonโ€™s 2000 weddingโ€”if you had told anyone then that the golden couple would be divorced before the decade was over, very few would have believed you.

Michael Rapaport was a guest at the nuptials and opened up about the experience on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, revealing that the pair had a โ€œwall of caviarโ€ at the event.

โ€œI was at Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anistonโ€™s wedding,โ€ the actor said. โ€œThey had a wall of caviar. I still have some saved over.โ€ He also called the wedding โ€œbeautiful,โ€ and said the caviar wall was โ€œgenerousโ€ of the couple to give to their guests, per Page Six.

โ€œHow have you been on the show 87 times, and Iโ€™ve never talked to you about Aniston and Pittโ€™s wedding?โ€ a stunned Cohen replied. Rapaport joked that Pitt and Aniston have โ€œdropped it now,โ€ though heโ€™s โ€œstill eating the caviarโ€ from their big day. โ€œI was shoving it down!โ€ he said.

Adding more details about the $1 million wedding, Rapaport said, โ€œBilly Preston performedโ€”lot of bucks there,โ€ before moving the conversation along.

Rapaport and Pitt first worked together as actors in 1993โ€™s True Romance. Rapaport also guest starred on Anistonโ€™s beloved Friends for a few episodes back in 1999.

Of Pitt and Anistonโ€™s wedding, in addition to an apparent wall of caviar, the couple married on July 29, 2000, in Malibu at a private estate filled with 50,000 roses, tulips, and other flowers in front of 200 guests, including Rapaport.

Other A-list attendees included Anistonโ€™s Friends costars Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox (and her then-husband David Arquette), and Lisa Kudrow; Pittโ€™s Fight Club costar Edward Norton and his then-girlfriend Salma Hayek; David Spade; Dermot Mulroney; and Cameron Diaz.

Several bands and choirs performedโ€”and Melissa Etheridge sang โ€œWhole Lotta Loveโ€โ€”and there was a fireworks display.

โ€œUnfortunately, the marriage didnโ€™t last as long as Rapaportโ€™s caviar, as Aniston and Pitt broke up five years later,โ€ Page Six reports. Pitt went on to marry Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar Angelina Jolie, and Aniston married actor Justin Theroux; both subsequent marriages also ended in divorce.
