The pop princess Christina Aguilera, 24, and her longtime boyfriend, music mogul Jordan Bratman, 28, swapped vows Saturday in a lavish ceremony at Napa Valley’s Auberge Du Soleil resort. It’s the first marriage for both.
Aguilera and Bratman arrived in Napa Valley on Wednesday to kick off wedding festivities, with a Japanese-themed rehearsal dinner Friday night at the Auberge Du Soleil resort, US Weekly reported.
[inline:1]Guests attending the wedding were asked to donate cash to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort, rather than buy presents for the couple.
Each of the 150 guests invited to watch the pint-sized pop princess exchange vows with her music-manager fiance Jordan Bratman in California’s wine country had to hand over the legal confidentiality document before they were allowed to take part in the celebrations.
All the guests were sent the contract in a bid to ensure that even the tiniest detail of the wedding remains secret - although photographers were camped out at a farmhouse in the Napa Valley from the start of the festivities on Thursday.
Bratman, 28, proposed to Aguilera in February while on vacation in Carmel, Calif. Their hotel room was filled with rose petals, balloons and gift boxes.
"When I got to the last box, there was a ring in it," Aguilera told People magazine. "He got down on one knee and said ’Will you do me the honor of being my wife?’ I’ve been floating ever since."
