Daniel Craig aka Agent 007 and Rachel Weisz secretly wed in New York with just four guests, including his 18-year-old daughter Ella and her 4-year-old son Henry and two friends. Secret marriage for secret agent?
Reel to real. The big-screen James Bond and Oscar-winning actress began dating late last year after playing husband and wife in the upcoming horror film Dream House.
Craig was previously married to actress Fiona Loudon. But this time, did Ian Fleming write the sequel “Marriage is Forever”?
Will P-Noy take a hint? The most eligible bachelor of Monaco also ties the knot today with his long-time companion Charlene Wittstock.
Billed as the "other" royal wedding, His Serene Highness, Prince Albert II, and Charlene are not measuring against recent Prince William and Kate nuptials. This Monégasque wedding must live up to the fairy tale cachet of Prince Rainer and Grace Kelly.
Monaco was doing well enough as a tax haven and casino… but the real coup for the principality was the Grimaldi wedding to Grace Kelly…the Hollywood epitome of High Society.
The Prince espied Charlene, a swimmer in the South Africa team, at the Olympics. She comes from a middle-class family; but she brings class.
He is himself a sportsman and captained the Monaco bobsled team in 2000 Olympics. The red Nike shoes he wore at competition is a trophied showcase of the Nike concessionaire in Monte Carlo.
Philippine honorary Consul General Dr. Stephan Zuellig, who is close to the Grimaldi family and the minders of the Palace, will surely be among invited guests.
At Dr. Zuellig’s Philippine National Day celebration in Monte Carlo, Prince Albert II surprised everyone by popping in. So the performing Bayanihan dancers repeated encore numbers for him, including Sayaw sa Bangko.
The Prince could not recall… (because he never forgot)…. that gossamer experience at Malacañang dinner years ago when a lissome Bayanihan dancer closed a performance by handing him a rose.
Monaco’s honorary Consul in Manila Fortune Ledesma was also invited, but turned uncustomarily shy of topping the top hat act of Princess Beatrice.
The man-about-town Prince Albert II took so long to finally commit to nuptials that Monaco amended its constitution allowing daughters to inherit the throne.
Monaco is a place where even Parisennes can feel poor pressing their nose to the windowpane.
Monégasques enjoy two national holidays this year – on the civil wedding on 1 July and on the church ceremony presided by Bishop Bernard Barsi on 2 July.
Variations. New York, birthplace of LGBT, is the 6th state to allow same-sex marriage. A conservative predicted that the next two cities to allow this will be Sodom and Gomorrah.
