Tony Parker, Eva Longoria Wed and Bling It Out

So I'm not sure if you heard about this but Tony Parker and Eva Longoria got hitched over the weekend. Oh wait, if you watch entertainment television, viewed ABC's NBA coverage where cameras cut to Eva in the stands every five to seven seconds or, um, have a pulse -- you've most certainly heard about their lucky 07/07/07 nuptials.

(Or you're just emerging from a coma or on the verge of flat lining. If so, tough break.)

Anyhow, it's a done deal now -- these two are together until death (or tomorrow) do them part.

Technically there were two weddings as the mayor of Paris made it official, pronouncing Parker and Longoria husband and wife in a civil ceremony on Friday. Then came the glitzy church wedding where a priest married the duo on Saturday afternoon.

For the civil ceremony, Parker, who was born in and grew up in , asked Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe to officiate. Parker's friends translated when Delanoe gave a speech calling the basketball star a model in the fight against racism.

Which is kind of odd considering the fact Longoria couldn't tell her grandmother that Tony was black.

But I digress.

Among the guest in attendance at Saturday's big event were the 'Desperate Housewives' crew: Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Nicolette Sheridan; as well as Sheryl Crow, Jessica Alba, Ryan Seacrest, soccer star Thierry Henry, AC Slater aka Mario Lopez (I'm sure he's done other things in his career, but can anything really top 'Saved by the Bell' for him? I think not.), San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich and these guys:

Phoenix's Boris Diaw looking mighty sharp.

Laker Ronny Turiaf looking a tad confused.

One more thing about TonEva's wedding -- it was all about the bling:

Longoria, 32, and Parker, 25, wore Piaget Possession wedding rings. The Desperate Housewives star's band was made from 18K white gold with two rows of 80 brilliant-cut diamonds. These were separated by a row of 27 square-cut diamonds, for a total of 107 jewels.

Parker's ring matched his wife's 18K white gold but was not decorated with stones. They each had a special inscription, in French, etched into the inside of the gold ring.

Meanwhile, all the women guests at the wedding were given bracelets from Van Cleef & Arpels' Sweet Alhambra range. The bracelets are 18K yellow gold on a delicate chain. They each had a miniature mother-of-pearl clover charm and the French jeweler said they are "sure to bring good luck."

What? No diamond encrusted carriage to whisk the married couple away? That's a bit of a letdown. MTV's 'My Super Sweet 16' kids would never let that fly.
