With Multiple Dress Changes, One Red Wedding Cake and Hundreds of Kisses, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker Marry Not Once but Twice

Throughout their dusk-to-dawn wedding reception at a château near Paris, long after they were pronounced husband and wife, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker were still taking "You may kiss the bride" to heart. "They had a game they played all night," says a guest. "She would look at him and say, 'Bisou,' which is French for kiss, and he would lean down and kiss her. They were kissing nonstop!"

For the Desperate Housewives star, 32, and the Belgian-born, French-raised NBA player, 25, the lavish July 7 wedding (estimated cost: $1.5 million) capped a week of festivities that kicked off in Saint Tropez on June 30. There was a surprise helicopter ride to the eighth-century medieval citadel Mont Saint-Michel, organized by Parker for his bride; a day trip to Disneyland Paris; a romantic evening cruise along the Seine and an intimate civil ceremony at a Paris city hall (required to make a marriage legal in France) on July 6, followed by a rehearsal dinner at the Cristal Room Baccarat. On the actual wedding day, with the help of planner Mindy Weiss, the couple treated their 250 guests—including fellow Housewives Teri Hatcher, Nicollette Sheridan, Felicity Huffman and Brenda Strong (Marcia Cross stayed home with her twins) as well as friends Jessica Alba, Sheryl Crow, Terrence Howard and Mario Lopez—to a spectacular party that didn't end until dawn. "It's been one event after another—I'm tired," Lopez told PEOPLE a day later. "There are fun weddings and there are fun weddings. This was a fun wedding, you know? We danced all night." Says Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry: "It was easily the most amazing wedding I've been to."Continued...

I can really feel the fun. This is really a fun wedding but it costs a lot.
