French President Nicolas Sarkozy has married supermodel-turned-singer Carla Bruni at the Elysee Palace on Saturday, after three long months their dating, French officials and family said.
The pair tied the knot at a low-key, civil ceremony conducted by the mayor of the Paris district that houses the president's grandiose official residence.
'I married two voters ... who live at 55 Rue du Faubourg St Honore,' Mayor Francois Lebel told Europe 1 radio, giving the official address of the Elysee.
'The bride was wearing white and was ravishing, as usual,' he said, adding: 'The bridegroom wasn't bad either.'
Sarkozy and Bruni indicated last month that had plans of marriage he made it clear that it would be a private affair, far from the crouching eyes of the press.
Their courtship has been splashed across the media and Sarkozy's popularity ratings had plunged in recent weeks, with voters complaining that the president was focusing too much on his private life and not enough on the country's many problems.
