Sarkozy weds in ‘strictest privacy’
President Nicolas Sarkozy married former model Carla Bruni at Elysee Palace, tying the knot less than three months after they reportedly first met.
The couple said in a statement that they were married “in the presence of their families in the strictest privacy.”
Sarkozy, 53, told reporters in January that his relationship with the Italian-born heiress, 40, was serious but refused to reveal a wedding date.
Sarkozy’s approval ratings dropped during their courtship. Analysts said more traditional voters were put off by his jet-setting style.
