New England Patriots Tom Brady – the region’s most eligible bachelor – has tied the knot last night with his supermodel galpal, Gisele Bundchen, in a romantic twilight wedding in California. US Weekly magazine reported that the pigskin prince and his Brazilian bombshell traded “I do’s†in a small Catholic ceremony in St. Monica’s Church in Santa Monica. The “very small and intimate†gathering consisted mostly of immediate family, including Brady’s parents, Tom Sr. and Gaylen, and 2-year-old son, Jack, by ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan . The 28-year-old bride wore a form-fitting strapless ivory lace gown with a trumpet skirt, scalloped edges, long train and a floor-length veil with attached handmade satin roses and attached satin headband by her favorite designers Dolce & Gabbana. Her three dogs also wore matching Dolce & Gabbana floral lace collars.
The church, in a quiet parish near the beach, is known as “the church of the stars†because a number of movies have been filmed there, including “Going My Way†and “The Bells of St. Mary.†Parishioners include Martin Sheen, Brooke Shields, Kelsey Grammer and the late Chris Farley. Lucy Lawless of “Xena, Warrior Princess†fame also was married there. In recent weeks, both Brady and Bundchen repeatedly denied engagement rumors that began in December when TMZ.com reported that No. 12 proposed to his girlfriend of two years on a private jet filled with roses and champagne. And just last week at a charity event in Allston, Brady also claimed he had no immediate wedding plans. When WBZ-TV (Ch. 4) sportsguy Steve Burton asked the QB/QT whether he was going to tie the knot, the two-time Super Bowl MVP replied “I say, ‘may’ – maybe, maybe not.†However, the Internet was buzzing earlier this week about some fuzzy paparazzi snaps of Gisele taken at Carnival in Brazil, which showed a ring on her left ring finger. The couple purchased an $11.7 million piece of property in a gated community in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles late last year and are building a house there.
