Paris – The sun smiled on Tony Parker and Eva Longoria’s wedding day, breaking through after days of gray skies.
The NBA champion and the star of “Desperate Housewives” exchanged vows Saturday in a Catholic ceremony at Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois Church, across from the Louvre Museum.
The mayor of Paris pronounced Parker, 25, and Longoria, 32, husband and wife in a civil ceremony Friday. Then a priest married them Saturday. French law requires a civil ceremony even when couples marry in a church.
Longoria wore a silk wool and silk gazar scoop-back mermaid gown with silver metallic embroidery. The gown, which had a 5-foot-long train, was designed by Angel Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the designer said. French menswear label De Fursac provided the groom’s suit.
Stars of all stripes – actors, athletes, musicians – were on hand.
Longoria’s fellow “Housewives” – Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and Nicolette Sheridan – garnered the most attention from several hundred fans outside the church.
“Housewives” co-star Marcia Cross, who recently gave birth to twins, was not expected to attend.
