Sarkozy & Bruni: ‘Until Death Do Us Part…’

Well it seems that the way has been cleared for Sarko and Bruni to visit the world famous monument of love… the 17th century Taj Mahal. Bruni had hinted earlier that Indian government was not exactly prepared to host an unwed VVIP (very very important person) couple when Sarko came visiting India recently.

“The 53-year-old French president Nicolas Sarkozy and super-model Carla Bruni, 40, held a low key wedding at the Elysee Palace attended by about 20 relatives and close friends, according to the local mayor who carried out the ceremony. ‘It lasted the usual 20 minutes or so,’ said Francois Lebel, mayor of the eighth arrondissement of Paris. ‘The bride wore white. She was ravishing, as usual. The bridegroom didn’t look bad, either’.

“This is Sarkozy’s third marriage. He ended a stormy 11 year marriage to Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz in October. While he is the first divorcee to be elected French president, he is the second to get married in office after Gaston Doumerque in 1931.” More here…
