 NICK LACHEY and his fiancee VANESSA MINNILLO started their marriage celebrations early on Sunday (29 May 11) after they were lavished with gifts at their wedding shower on the roof of the London Hotel in West Hollywood.

  The former 98 Degrees singer and his TV star partner got engaged last November (10) after four years of dating and are preparing to wed later this year (11).
    
 And they kicked off the festivities with a wedding shower at the London hotel in Los Angeles with friends and family - and Minnillo even wore a white dress.
    
 According to People.com, the pair received a string of gifts, including dinnerware, champagne flutes and a silver wine funnel.

  Lachey was first married to Jessica Simpson, 30, from 2002 to 2006. They were filmed on reality show "Newlyweds" for most of their marriage.
