How it all began:
The catwalk queen will wed Jamie Hince, guitarist of The Kills.
Before Hince, she was engaged to actor Johnny Depp, and has an 8-year-old daughter with publisher Jefferson Hack.
Her most famous relationship was with bad boy Pete Doherty. Tthe two dated for four years. Their relationship was splashed with passion, heavy drug use, and heated arguments. It was with him she earned the nickname "Cocaine Kate", after pictures surfaced of the duo snorting lines.
The beloved met after Hince finished performing with his band, he did not know who she was; he also hates fashion, stating:
"I hate fashion, in fact I f****ing hate fashion. I don't go to the shows -- I just think they're f****ing stupid, 100% stupid."

When Moss and Hince showed up at their dress rehearsal, Hince was reluctant to be photographed. Luckily Kate convinced him to pose for a few photos. She wore a blue 70's style frock and blue heeled boots. Best gal pal Sadie Frost also showed up for dress rehearsal along with daughter Iris. The Kills band member was photographed on the church grounds to prepare for her role in the lavish wedding as well as Kate's hairstylist friend, James Brown.
The Details of Mosstock:
Moss's wedding dress is designed by long-time friend and controversial designer, John Galliano. She will also be wearing custom Christian Loboutin shoes.
There will be 300 guests attending, including Naomi Campbell, Jude Law, Vivienne Westwood, and John Galliano; amidst his controversial trial, there has been speculation on whether the designer will actually be in attendance.
The wedding will be photographed by Mario Testino, who also photographed Kate Middleton's wedding to Prince William, for the September issue of Vogue.
Rumored performers are Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Beth Ditto, Iggy Pop, and Carl Barat, a member of the Libertine's with Kate's ex Pete Doherty.

The wedding party consists of her Maid of Honor Trish Simonon, her best friend Sadie Frost, Frosts' daughter 10-year-old Iris, who will serve as a bridesmaid. Moss's half-sister and the young children also make up the bridal party. Kate's own daughter Lila Grace will take her rightful place as chief-bridesmaid.
After watching Bridesmaids, we can only wonder what complex responsibilities her rather youthful bridal party took on. Alison Mosshart, bandmate of Kate's soon-to-be hubby, will attend the wedding as the grooms "Best Woman"
