Tennis star Andy Roddick said having Elton John sing at his wedding was “very, very surreal,” according to People Magazine.
Andy, 26, recently married Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker, 21. Their wedding was in Austin, Texas. According to People, the ceremony was intimate, candlelit and included a group of close friends and family.
Andy and Brooklyn began dating in 2007, the article said. They met after Andy asked his agent to track down the number of Decker, who he’d seen in the swimsuit edition of SI. They announced their engagement in March 2008.
The wedding was “probably the only time in our lives that we will have family, our best friends from home, and our professional worlds in the same place at the same time and it definitely all went too fast,” Andy said in the People article.

Salma Hayek, 42, and French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, 46, had a wedding celebration Saturday at Venice’s Teatro La Fenice opera house, according to People.com. This was the second wedding ceremony for the couple who originally got married on Valentine’s Day.
This celebration was all about family and friends, according to People. One hundred and fifty guests attended, including Charlize Theron, Ed Norton, Woody Harrelson, Penelope Cruz and other celebrities, People said.
Salma’s diamond ring must have cost a fortune for Francois, but I don’t think he’s hurting over it, considering he is the CEO of PPR, which owns Gucci and other companies.
Two proposals will take place on Desperate Housewives, according to an ABC interview with Dana Delaney, who plays Katherine on the show.
“I do know that Mike (James Denton) and I have a romantic announcement,” she said in an interview with ABC at the 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards.
But Katherine’s character isn’t the only one with an upcoming proposal, according to ABC. Susan (Teri Hatcher) may be getting an engagement ring from Jackson (Gale Harold).
But don’t worry. This doesn’t give too much away. This doesn’t mean there will be traditional proposals or two weddings.
Teri Hatcher would not give away whether or not her character says yes to the proposal, said ABC.
Do you watch Desperate Housewives? What do you think of the potential marriages?

Police stopped traffic and Walling eventually found the 1.6 carat diamond engagement ring, the article said. His girlfriend said yes!
In the final episode of “Rock of Love Bus,” Bret Michaels chose between Taya Parker and Mindy Hall. On the show, which is the third season of “Rock of Love,” eight women competed for Bret’s attention and affection. In this season, they all lived on tour buses and traveled with Bret.
Before Bret made his decision, he asked the final two women to select their own engagement rings.
Bret chose Taya as the winner of the show. And although he said he’s not going to marry Taya, according to EarSucker.com he said he will give her the ring when he’s ready. Whatever that means! Hey, at least she’ll get a free diamond ring.
