The Shortlist for Sept. 11

Florence Welch Had Stage Jitters at Blake Lively's Wedding

Never mind that Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine are one of the global touring circuit's hottest bands these days. When it came to performing three songs at her pal, Blake Lively's wedding to Ryan Reynolds on Sunday in South Carolina, she was reportedly full of nerves. Charleston-based hair and makeup artist Kacie Faulling tells People, "Florence said [she was singing] for a good friend and this was her wedding gift for the bride and groom ... She said she performs all the time, but she was performing at the wedding and she got nervous because it was for a friend." Still, it sounds like Florence enjoyed herself at the unannounced wedding all the same. As she exited her upscale wedding accommodations at Wentworth Mansion in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., she was overheard gushing, "We had a lovely time. I only wish we could have stayed longer." (People)
