So it finally happened after many suppositions and many believing
that it already happened!
According to the official who performed the ceremony, on Saturday
French President Nicolas Sarkozy married girlfriend former model Carla Bruni at
the Elysee Palace.
Francois Lebel, mayor of Paris'
eighth arrondissement said to the Europe-1 radio: "The bride wore white,
she was ravishing, as usual. The groom wasn't bad either," the Associated
Press reports.
Sarkozy, 53 and Bruni, 40 decided to tie their destinies in front
of close family and friend.
Lebel said of the ceremony that it was "a moment of
family intimacy for the young newlyweds, of great simplicity and apparently a
lot of affection between the spouses. I wished them a lot of happiness."
Bernadette Chirac, wife of previous French President Jacques Chirac, wanted to wish the best for the pair.
She said: "I want to express all my best wishes to this new household. She is very, very beautiful," reuters informs.
According to French law, the couples have to marry in front
of a mayor to make it official.
The two met in November, after Sarkozy’s divorce of Cecilia
in October. They made public their relationship during a trip to Disneyland
Paris. They remained in the media eye with trips to Egypt
and Jordan.
Sarzkozy surprised with his openness about his life. French
are used to their presidents keeping a low profile when it comes to their
lives. Even so, Sarkozy didn’t say anything about his wedding plans. He only
said that French will found out about them after it had occurred.
