Paris, Feb 3, 2008 : French President Nicolas Sarkozy married supermodel-turned-singer Carla Bruni at the Elysee Palace on Saturday February 2nd, just three months after they started dating.

The pair tied the knot at a low-key, civil ceremony conducted by the mayor of the Paris district that houses the president's grandiose official residence, Francois Lebel. The mayor added that it was the first time in the history of the French republic that a president had married while in office.
