As Eva and Tony\'s Wedding Approaches, Expenses Adding Up

Written by Randy Watson

Since winning their latest NBA Championship, the San Antonio Spurs, no doubt, have largely been taking a much needed and deserved vacation - that is all but star point guard, Tony Parker.  Certainly, Parker deserves a break, what with leading his team to the pinnacle of success, on his way to winning the 2007 postseason MVP award, but these days, he is certainly got more important things on his mind.  Important things like marrying his fiancee and hottest-woman-on-the-planet, Eva Longoria.

Parker revealed to a French paper last week that the July 7th wedding, will take place in Paris, at the 16th century castle, Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte.  The star power for the festivities should be set to 10, with Micheal Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jamie Foxx, Keifer Southerland, Jessica Simpson, Lionel Ritchie, and all her co-stars from Desperate Housewives planning to be in attendance, among others.  After the wedding, the couple plan to remain in Paris for the honeymoon, where rumour has it that they will stay in the posh Hotel George V.  The price tag for the wedding is estimated to be around $5 million.

Other wedding details include:
· A $15,000 wedding cake, that will be made in Los Angeles and shipped first-class to Paris with an escort.  The cost of shipping is estimated to be around $23,000, bringing the total to roughly $40,000 just for the cake!
· Tony is very superstitious, and feels that the wedding date, 7/7/07 will bring them lots of luck.
· Eva will be wearing a $600,000 engagement ring.
· Eva wants her pal, Kenny Chesney to sing at the wedding.

Both stars seem to be excited about the upcoming nuptials, but both also say that they are ready to get back to work after it’s all over.
