Do More Than Gamble And Eat In Atlantic City; Get Married!
People don't head to the sparkly strip of boardwalk light in Atlantic City, NJ just for a weekend of gambling and buffet-noshing; no, they even hold weddings, family reunions and—conferences—there. But sadly, most of the venues for these get-togethers fail to take advantage of the awesome shore views, leaving you feel slightly claustrophobic especially if the weather is nice.
To remedy this, Atlantic City has begun constructing a new event space on top of their premier shopping mall: The Pier Shops at Caesar'. It's a must-visit while in AC simply for its panorama views, the atrium fountain performances, and the adirondack-equipped relax areas on the third floor, complete with sand in which to wiggle your toes. But come December when the new venue, called One Atlantic opens on its roof, it'll finally give weddings and others AC events the ocean backdrop without having to trek down to the crowded beachfront.

Oh Romeo, Romeo, Wherefore Art Thy Marriage License?
The ultimate in romantic wedding travel might just have started up in Italy: the city of Verona will now let you get married on the balcony made famous by Romeo and Juliet.
Tourists have long been flocking to the Capello family mansion as it's believed that Shakespeare based the famous Capulets on these guys. But Verona's council have now made it possible for anyone to exchange vows and wedding rings up on the balcony.
Before you book your flights, you should know that romance don't come cheap. If you're an EU citizen the marriage license will cost you €700, and for those without an EU passport, be ready to shell out €900 ($1,280). You'd better be either rich or absolutely sure about your star-crossed lover.

Well Played: Vancouver Sun Finds Scarlett & Ryan's Wedding
Since we live on the internet, we have trouble giving the mainstream media any credit for anything. (Hey, they never give us nods!) But we have to hand it to the Vancouver Sun for correctly identifying the resort where Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson got married. It was one of two places they'd previously picked out, knowing only that they were at "a remote mountain resort" outside Vancouver.
According to Perez, Johansson and Reynolds got hitched at the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, where their 40 guests, invited by text message, enjoyed fishing and horseback riding and bedded down in tents. No photos have leaked from the ceremony but we hope his'n'hers Wellies were involved.
We've updated our Scarlett & Ryan Wedding Map in case you're planning to pair off.

Blame Canada: Where Did Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds Get Hitched?
Many stars pay lip service to privacy, but few actually take steps to get it. Scarlett Johansson did such a good job of keeping her weekend wedding to fellow actor Ryan Reynolds under wraps, even local authority the Vancouver Sun dithered between two "remote mountain resorts" where the nuptials could have happened.
Johansson and Reynolds reportedly had a small ceremony attended mostly by family, without the red-carpet arrivals of other weddings.
But Jaunted is on the trail to find out where we can get hitched like Scarlett: Check out our Scarlett & Ryan's Wedding Map, which will be updated as potential locations roll in.

Wedding Travel: ScarJo Takes A Page From "Sex And The City"
Didn't she see the movie? Scarlett Johansson may call L.A. home with fiance Ryan Reynolds, but she's taking a page from the Carrie Bradshaw playbook and planning a New York wedding -- albeit medium-sized.
The couple had planned to wed earlier this year but are waiting till the winter so Johansson's twin brother, who works for Barack Obama's presidential campaign, might have some time off. A location hasn't been named yet, but director Woody Allen is expected to attend after working with Scarlett in three of his last four movies.
Of course, Johansson isn't really pulling a Bradshaw because she grew up in New York, making it only fitting that she would wed there. But we'd avoid the Public Library... just in case.

Wedding Travel: Gettin' Married on a Jet Plane
We've always thought the best part about getting married is the honeymoon, and what faster way to cut to the honeymoon is there than actually getting married on the plane?
That may have been part of the reason for Australian couple Jenny Huntingford and Ettore Rapino to plan their wedding for tomorrow on a Virgin Blue Boeing 737 at Brisbane Airport. The couple will have their ceremony on the airplane but then adjourn to the Virgin Blue lounge for the reception--complete with a wedding cake in the shape of a jet.
We're hoping that from there it's a quick move over to the departure lounge to head out on their honeymoon flight. If they've scrimped on a low cost carrier for the wedding location and flight then we're hoping that at least the honeymoon will be in a luxurious destination.

Presidential Marriage Marked by Secrecy, Dorkiness
Mmmm, May in Texas: It's a great time to run for the nearest air-conditioned building and never leave it. But the heat didn't bother President George W. Bush as he celebrated daughter Jenna's wedding on the family ranch in Crawford, Texas. (Jenna's on the right above with twin Barbara, impolitely wearing a white dress, on the other side of their beaming parents.)
Jenna wore Oscar de la Renta for her first dance with her new husband Henry Hager, a former employee in the office of Karl Rove (who was at the wedding); the tune was Taj Mahal's "Lovin' In My Baby's Eyes." Jenna's the first child of a sitting president to wed in 16 years, but she opted not to marry at the White House. At least there she might not have seen her dad getting down to the Archies on the dance floor. Oh, uncoordinated dads, you know no politics!
Honeymoon plans have not been released, but Jenna has been traveling far and wide to promote her family-planning novel Ana's Story, even making a stop at our old high school. Now that the president's back in DC, maybe she and Henry can have a staycation on the ranch!

Impulsive Travel: Did Mariah and Nick Wed in the Bahamas?
It's not just Super World Travelers who are subject to persistent rumors of paparazzi-ducking marriages in locales unknown. So as for the talk that Mariah Carey, amidst the buzz for her new album E=MC^2, slipped away to her Eleuthera house to wed actor Nick Cannon, we say: Highly likely!
Just because Cannon allegedly gave Carey the ring he had made for his ex-fiancee, Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, doesn't make their surprise nuptials less probable.
Like all destination weddings, though, this one could later be annulled if the couple, in their lovey-dovey hurry, didn't do the proper paperwork. Whether you're going to the Caribbean or somewhere else, do a little homework before you go in case you don't have Carey's million-dollar lawyers on retainer.

Destination Weddings: Sarko's Ex-Wife Gets in on the Trend
Cécilia Ciganer-Albéniz, the ex-wife of Nicolas Sarkozy isn't letting him have all the re-marrying fun. She's getting hitched to her lover Richard Attias in New York later this month. (The two previously had a year-long affair in 2005.)
The news was leaked by Versace, which is proud to brag that it's the label of choice for the wedding party. Rumor has it the pair will keep the luxe life up after the nuptials: They were spotted checking out a pad at the recently-renovated Plaza hotel across from Central Park.
Central Park? If they wanna top the globe-trotting Sarko--and his new wife, Carla Bruni--they're gonna need to go further afield than that.

The 7 7 7 Wedding Rush Is On In Vegas, Elsewhere
Thinking about getting hitched? Tomorrow may be your lucky day -- if you've planned enough in advance. For people who believe in the number seven, Saturday's date is triply auspicious for gamblers and for the affianced. If you haven't already applied for your wedding license in Vegas, there are 3,000 couples ahead of you, and you may have better luck marrying at home -- or at Six Flags, whose 12 locations will all be hosting weddings (including the metaphorically unlucky top-of-rollercoaster nuptial).
In response to the demand for lucky weddings in Lady Luck-land, Las Vegas' Caesars Palace is holding a mass-wedding at 7PM and is at FULL occupancy for Saturday night, while the Flamingo is holding 77 weddings. And the Little White Wedding Chapel, where Britney Spears tied the knot for the first time and Bruce Willis once wed Demi Moore, is uniting 460 would-be Mr. and Mrs.'s this weekend. "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria even got into the lucky-7 spirit, rushing the planning process for her dream wedding to NBA star Tony Parker so that they could celebrate in Paris on, yes, 7/7/07. (Her civil ceremony was today, but that doesn't count, right?)
Already hitched or not interested? You could try your luck in the Pennsylvania lottery, offering 7,777 prizes on a special $20 ticket. Al Gore's Live Earth concert, originally planned to be broadcast from eight sites, is down to seven after the Rio concert was canceled by the local police force. Fate? Some rap fans also believe Saturday is when slain star Tupac Shakur will return from his allegedly faked death. And perhaps to offset the deleterious effects of last year's 6/6/06, Christians in Nashville or elsewhere are hosting a pray-in. Then again, there's always 8/8/08.

Wedding Travel: Eva Longoria Takes France By Boat
Eva Longoria and Tony Parker are getting married at Vaux-le Vicomte castle in Maincy, near Paris France on July 7th. To prep for their castle wedding the couple decided to have a joint pre-wedding party in St. Tropez.
Of course, like any celebrity gathering in St. Tropez, a chartered yacht was necessary. Looking at the photos, it appears a gold Princess Leia bathing suit was also necessary. In any event if you think you can hang with the big moneyed travelers in St. Tropez, Cannes Boat has you covered, if you can't you can always head to Vaux le Vicomte and take in one of their candlelight evenings.
Furthermore, it seems the South of France is the place for summer travel fashion trend setting. In 2006 we had Borat's swimsuit, and in 2007 we have Eva's.
More pics of Eva Longoria on a yacht.
