News reports are carrying pictures of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony marrying over the weekend, in a hush-hush wedding at Lopez's LA house. Supposedly, friends and family members thought they were attending a backyard awards party, when they were surprised with tents, an altar and J.Lo. in a flowing Vera Wang gown. The two, and their reps, refuse to confirm or deny their wedded status, but it's hard to argue with pictures. Cynics have noted that Marc Anthony had a new album released on Tuesday, and weddings and rumors only help record sales.Here are all the details you've been waiting for:
The Setting: the backyard of J.Lo's Beverly Hills home, underneath white tents. Lopez ad Anthony were reportedly married shortly after 6 pm, surrounded by 40-50 guests, including Lopez's mom Guadalupe, TV reporter sister, Lynda Lopez, and, as some reports are saying, her ex-flame P. Diddy, who wished both her and Anthony well, calling her his "girl for life."
The Bride Wore: Vera Wang's off-the-shoulder ruffled lace dress, a one-of-a-kind from the designers' spring 2005 collection. Her hair was swept up, and crowned with a long veil, worn off the face. She carried a matching umbrella, in a failed attempt to hide from the paparazzi's prying lenses. She was also covered in borrowed Neil Lane diamonds, including a necklace and a bracelet.
The Engagement Ring: Lopez has worn an 8 carat square-cut diamond ring on her middle finger since January, but has denied it was an engagement ring from Anthony.
The Groom Wore: an off-white Armani suit. Perhaps he had his newly obtained divorce papers in his pocket! Until last week, Marc Anthony was married to Dayanara Torres, but was divorced in a speedy Dominican Republic ceremony.
Is She Pregnant?: Some have speculated that the speed of Anthony's divorce, followed immediately by the wedding means that Lopez is pregnant. A reported wedding guest confirmed this rumor to the New York Post this week. This rumor is fueled by the fact that white, pink, and blue balloons were released into the sky following the wedding ceremony. Gossip columnists have long speculated that Jennifer's repeated races to the altar are fueled by a strong desire for a family.
