Filed under: Celebrity Weddings, Celebrity
This week, with the Wimbledon tennis tournament in full swing, England is staggering under the weight of the top names in tennis . However, there may just be a mass exodus this weekend as famous names head off to the Bahamas to attend the wedding of former tennis World Champion Chris Evert to Australian golfer Greg Norman.The couple are having a very private, evening beach wedding at The One and Only Ocean Club Hotel (featured as a set in the most recent James Bond movie Casino Royale) on Paradise Island. That is, private in the sense that no media has been invited to record the wedding.
Earlier this week Norman's security staff detained an Australian TV crew. They were released after being warned against taking any sneak photos of the proceedings, with the threat that they would be 'nabbed' should any pictures appear in the media.
The bridal couple will be exchanging their vows in front of about 400 guests. The guest list is an impressive one including famous figures such as Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr as well as a slew of former tennis champions. Jimmy Connors, Evert's former fiancee is expected to be there, as well as Anna Kournikova, Lindsay Davenport, Martina Navratilova and other celebrities such as Gwen Stefani, Kenny Loggins and Chevy Chase.
It will be a lavish wedding and estimates are that it has cost the couple more than $1 million. We hope that we get to see at least one picture of the bride's dress, if nothing else!
