One day after officially tying the knot in a small civil ceremony in Paris, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker have said their vows again—this time in front of over 250 friends and family in a lavish church ceremony.
The festivities were held on Saturday at the Church of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, which was decorated with more than 1,000 flowers. Celebrity guests including Ryan Seacrest, Mario Lopez, Sheryl Crow, Jessica Alba, William H. Macy, and Longoria's co-stars Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and Nicolette Sheridan were on hand to witness the Desperate Housewife and her basketball champion, 25, say, “I do.”
Longoria, 32, walked down the aisle in a couture Angel Sanchez mermaid gown made of silk wool with silk metallic embroidery, a scoop back and a long train.
The hour-long service was officiated by Father Dominic Schubert, who exclusively tells Usmagazine.com, "The couple wanted a quiet church wedding and now they have been married by God.” He continued, “"They wanted proceedings to be low-key and dignified and they are extremely happy with how everything went.
We were delighted that they were able to celebrate their love in front of so many family and friends.”
After the wedding ceremony guests were driven off in buses to the reception at the Chateau of Vaux le Vicomte, a 17th century chateau outside Paris. VIP guests and family members left in grey Mercedes vans, while Eva and Tony were chauffeured in a black Rolls Royce Phantom. "The crowds of hundreds of fans outside went wild and shouted, ‘congratulations’ to them in chorus as they drove out," an onlooker tells Us.
Longoria and Parker were engaged in November of 2006, after 2 years of dating. Since their engagement, they've been plagued with rumors of a split, and even a sex-strike. Today, those rumors were squashed once and for all.Labels: celebrities, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Jessica Alba, Mario Lopez, photos, Ryan Seacrest, Sheryl Crow, Teri Hatcher, Tony Parker, wedding |
