Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have received backlash over the venue for their September 2012 wedding. Lively and Reynolds tied the knot at the Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens in South Carolina. While it was not addressed at the time of their nuptials, Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens has been criticized for operating as a wedding venue due to its connection to slavery. Years after their ceremony, Reynolds and Lively received criticism for getting married at the problematic venue.
