Desperate
Housewives
star
Eva
Longoria
and
basketball
player
Tony
Parker
have
married
for
a
second
time,
exchanging
vows
in
a
Paris
church
24
hours
after
tying
the
knot
at
a
civil
ceremony.
Hundred
of
fans
hoping
for
a
glimpse
of
the
stars
were
disappointed
as
guards
kept
them
well
away
from
the
12th
century
church,
across
the
road
from
the
Louvre
museum.
No
details
emerged
about
the
half-hour
service
and
the
only
sign
it
was
over
came
when
red
buses
began
shuttling
friends
and
family
to
a
17th
century
chateau
outside
the
French
capital
where
a
lavish
reception
was
planned.
Among
those
invited
were
Longoria's
Housewives
co-stars
Teri
Hatcher
and
Felicity
Huffman,
Miami
Vice
star
Jamie
Foxx,
singer
Lionel
Richie
and
actors
Michael
Douglas
and
Catherine
Zeta
Jones.
Parker's
NBA
team
mates
from
the
San
Antonio
Spurs
were
also
expected
at
attend,
with
other
top
sports
figures
such
as
French
footballer
Thierry
Henry.
Under
French
law,
couples
must
have
a
separate
civil
marriage
if
they
wed
in
a
church.
Parker,
25,
who
was
born
in
Belgium
and
grew
up
in
France,
tied
the
knot
with
Texas-born
Longoria,
32,
at
a
relatively
low-key
ceremony
in
a
Paris
town
hall
on
Friday.
The
main
event
was
clearly
Saturday's,
with
the
couple
joining
thousands
of
others
around
the
world
in
getting
married
on
07/07/07
-
a
date
that
many
believed
to
be
propitious.
Paparazzi
have
been
stalking
the
couple
and
their
entourage
for
the
past
week,
pursuing
them
as
they
partied
in
Disneyland
Paris
and
wined
and
dined
on
a
river
boat
on
the
Seine.
The
reception
was
being
held
in
one
of
France's
most
spectacular
houses
-
the
Chateau
de
Vaux
le
Vicomte
-
which
cost
an
estimated
200,000
euros
to
hire.
It
has
previously
hosted
the
wedding
of
Indian
tycoon
Lakshmi
Mittal's
daughter,
said
to
be
the
most
expensive
of
all
time
at
a
reported
$US55
million.
"It
will
certainly
be
a
beautiful
marriage
because
a
lot
of
celebrities
will
be
coming," said
Jean-Charles
de
Vogue,
whose
family
owns
the
chateau.
Chateau
staff
refused
to
give
details,
but
newspapers
said
the
gardens
would
be
lit
by
2000
candles
and
a
spectacular
firework
display
was
planned.
