 Eddie Murphy: Married in French Polynesia
Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds were married on New Year's Day on a private island off Bora Bora in French Polynesia in front of 25 friends and family as reported. Several Internet sources are reporting the couple and family members arrived Friday in Tahiti for the nuptials.
Edmonds, 40, formerly married to R&B singer/songwriter Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, announced her engagement to Eddie Murphy in October.
Murphy, 46, has four children by his ex-wife Nicole, whom he divorced in 2006, and a daughter by Spice Girl Mel B.
One thing they don't want: a big, blowout ceremony. "We want to make it fun and casual – small," Edmonds told reporters.
In a sunset ceremony on the beach Tuesday, Edmonds walked barefoot down the aisle to Gladys Knight's "Makings of You." The bride wore a custom-designed form-fitting dress by stylist and designer Sugia Nazel and Jill Baracci, designer and owner of Baracci boutique. Murphy wore a cream suit and vest with an off-white handkerchief.
Among the guests were best man Johnny Gill, maid of honor Nicole Avant, matron of honor Julie Lev, as well as Edmonds's parents Jacqueline and George McQuarn, her brother Michael, Eddie Murphy's mother Lillian Lynch and his brother Vernon.
Tracey Edmonds gave her bridesmaids gold and diamond earrings from XIV Karats in Beverly Hills, and Eddie Murphy, gave his groomsmen D.Atlantis watches. The wedding cake was by Sam Godfrey of Perfect Endings in Napa, CA, and featured four layers in whites and cream with handmade sugar cymbidium and dendrobium orchids.
While the wedding planning is a joint effort, Eddie Murphy, and Edmonds also plan to collaborate in a more public way soon – on a film that Edmonds is producing for her fiancé.
"We've got a couple different things with each other we're working on," Eddie Murphy revealed. One tentative project includes a comedy costarring Chris Tucker. "I have two comedies," Edmonds explained, adding, "We are actually doing a lot of things." |
