Eva Longoria, 31, and Tony Parker, 24, were married this past weekend in Paris, France. A small civil ceremony at the city hall was held on Friday July 6th. French law requires couples partake in a city hall civil ceremony before they are able to wed at a church. The following day, a Roman Catholic ceremony was held at the Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois Church, then they celebrated with an extravagant wedding reception in the 17th Century Chateau of Vaux le Vicomte in Paris. The ballroom has marble floors, a chandelier-studded dining room and beautifully pruned gardens.
Eva wore a silk wool and silk gazar scoop back mermaid gown embroidered with silver metallic and a 5 foot long train. The gown was designed by Angel Sanchez. Tony wore a suit by French menswear label De Fursac.
Tony gave Eva a beautiful wedding ring encrusted with 107 diamonds and an inscription in French. Tony was given a similar ring with a matching inscription from Eva but without the diamonds.
The wedding party included Mario Lopez, Eva Longoria's co-star in Desperate Housewives, as an usher, and Eva's friend Thierry Henry, a groomsman.
Of the 300 guests, some celebrities who attended the wedding were: Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, Denzel Washington, Sheryl Crow, Jessica Alba, Victoria Beckham and Longoria's "Desperate Housewives" co-stars Felicity Huffman, Teri Hatcher, Brenda Strong and Nicolette Sheridan.
The guests were given 18 carat gold bracelets as a thank you for coming to the wedding.

Eva Longoria and Tony Parkers Engagement
Eva Longoria, 31 year old star in Desperate Houswives, is engaged to Tony Parker, 24, San Antonia Spurs basketball star.
Tony surprised Eva by flying to Los Angeles after a game on Wednesday, November 29th. He went to her home, decorated it with candles and rose petals, and waited for her to come home from work. There he proposed and she accepted. Eva loves surprises, that's why he showed up unannounced for this special proposal.
The couple will marry in the summer of 2007 in France which is where Tony was born. They say they're having a big wedding and won't plan it secretly, they want the world to know all about their big day.
The two met in November 2004 at a Spurs game in the teams press room, and began dating in January 2005. They split up for a brief period of time in September, reasons having to do with their busy and demanding schedules. But they're back together now and stronger than ever.
This will be Evas second wedding, she was previously married to General Hospital star Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004.
It has been reported that Eva is not returning to Desperate Housewives after this season. She is currently working with co-star Christian Bale on a feature called "Harsh Times".
