very lucky indeed. Congrats to the parkers.
PARIS -- Stretch limo for her; minivan for him -- and a romantic Paris wedding for both.
San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker married "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria at a civil ceremony in Paris Friday -- a prelude to their expected star-studded weekend wedding bash at a lavish and storied chateau.
Longoria, 32, showed up first in a white stretch limo, wearing a way-above-the-knee pink Chanel dress with striped black and white straps. She was accompanied by about eight guests in cream, pink and purple dresses. She turned, smiled and waved for the crowd of waiting photographers and reporters who kept well back behind two rows of police barriers.
Parker, the 25-year-old NBA finals MVP for the champion Spurs who was born in Belgium and grew up playing basketball in France, arrived about 10 minutes later in a gray minivan, wearing a dark suit. He went straight in without waving. French soccer star Thierry Henry was in his group.
In between, other guests arrived in a Humvee stretch limo.
Paris Mayor Betrand Delanoe officiated, welcoming everyone on the steps of the town hall for Paris' fourth district.
When the ceremony ended, the newlyweds left in a black Mercedes sedan with tinted windows. The crowd of fans and journalists booed, shouting, "Roll, your windows down."
French law requires couples who marry to make their vows official at a city hall, even if they have a church wedding as well.
They and their entourage have given very few details about the nuptials.
The couple were thought to be planning a second wedding ceremony Saturday at a Paris church that used to serve French royals. Then, they and their guests were to celebrate at Vaux-le-Vicomte, a 17th century chateau 34 miles southeast of Paris.
The couple have enjoyed the tourist sights in the lead-up to the wedding.
They and a group of about 40 family and friends spent most of Wednesday riding attractions at Disneyland Paris, a spokesman for the park said. Longoria did the rides once, Parker and his friends rode some several times.
They also visited the romantic site of Mont-Saint-Michel on the Normandy coast, eating foie gras, cheese, omelets and apple pie at La Mere Poulard, an employee at the famous restaurant said.
In an interview with Le Parisien published Friday, Parker said he was eager to have children.
"That would be even better than my NBA les, even if I don't compare private life and sports," he told the newspaper. "Eva talks to me about it all the time. I'd like to have girls, because I come from a world of boys."
He also said he considers himself "the luckiest guy in the world."

Thought that was supposed to be a "way-above-the-knee pink Chanel dress"?
After arriving in a stretch limo to a civil ceremony in Paris, a pretty-in-pink Eva was spotted waving to the crowd before heading into the 4th District Town Hall, where she changed into a short white dress for the ceremony. Parker arrived minutes later, rolling up in a Mercedes

It's like a train wreck...I can't look away.
Could that dress be any shorter?
Now that's an interesting choice of words.
Well congrats... to them
Bertrand Delanoé is gay.
and it's not a joke he is really gay
Maybe he was the one who suggested that Eva change, then.![]()
Parker, who was voted the NBA's most valuable player earlier this month afteraccording to fox ed up lying asshole news, the Spurs have won their 4th straight le.the Spurs won their fourth straight le, wanted to talk about basketball.
"I think that this is just the beginning," he said. "I still have a long way to go because my idol is Michael Jordan and he won six les so I'm only halfway there."
Looking long-term, Parker said he would base his decisions on fellow players Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili and coach Gregg Popovic. Parker is signed with the Spurs through 2009.
"My decisions about the future and where I am going to play and if I'm going to stay in San Antonio will depend on how long Duncan wants to play, Ginobili and Popovic."
damn ! 4-peat??? Spurs ing rock!

Very short pink dress......
But she was nice and did change... don't hate
Just out of curiosity, do they even show Desperate Housewives in France? Does anybody there even give a damn who Eva is?
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Tony Parker.
- Here's to hoping high profile marriage stress doesn't up "Hollywood's" game.
At least not while he's on the Spurs.
