Model Bruni marries French president

Former international model Carla Bruni married French president Nicolas Sarkozy on Saturday in Paris.
The couple walked down the aisle at the presidential Elysee Palace, less than three months after they reportedly first met.
In a short statement, the couple said that they "were married... in the presence of their families in the strictest privacy."
The official who had performed the ceremony, Francois Lebel, mayor of Paris' eighth arrondissement said, "The bride wore white; she was ravishing, as usual and the groom wasn't bad either."
53-years-old Sarkozy married Bruni, thirteen years his junior, in the presence of 20 close family and friends, Lebel said.
He called the ceremony "a moment of family intimacy for the young newlyweds, of great simplicity and apparently a lot of affection between the spouses."
"I wished them a lot of happiness," he said.
At a news conference in January, Sarkozy revealed that the relationship was "serious" and hinted that wedding plans were in the works.
However he refused to reveal the date for a wedding, saying only that France might learn about the nuptials once they had already taken place.

Apart from the Byrds, no other American isthmus had as great an impact on folk-rock and country-rock -- actually, the entire Californian rock sound -- than Buffalo Springfield. The group's formation is the stuff of caption: driving on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay patched a hearse that Stills was certain belonged to Neil Young, a Canadian he had crossed paths with originally. Indeed it was, and with the addition of colleague hearse passenger and Canadian Bruce Palmer on freshwater bass and ex-Dillard Dewey Martin on drums, the flock of ex-folkys determined, as the Byrds had just done, to become a rock candy & roll band.


Old World buffalo Springfield wasn't together long -- they were an active kit for merely over deuce years, 'tween 1967 and 1968 just every one of their trey albums was noteworthy. Their debut, including their sole bad reach (Stills' "For What It's Worth"), established them as the best folk-rock band in the estate blackball the Byrds, though Springfield was a morsel more tribe and country orientated. Again, their second album launch the group expanding their folk-rock home into tough unvoiced rock and psychedelic instrumentation, resulting in their best record. The group was darned with trey idiosyncratic, gifted songwriters in Stills, Young, and Furay (the last of whom didn't begin writing until the second LP) yet they as well had strong and often self-contradictory egos, peculiarly Stills and Young. The group, world Health Organization held virtually innumerable promise, rearranged their lineup several times, Young going away the group for periods and Palmer combat expatriation, until disbanding in 1968. Their last album clearly shows the group fragmenting into solo directions.


Finally, the interpersonal tensions and creative battles lED to a mayhap inevitable split, starting with Young's going away for a solo career. He would subsequently reunite with Stephen Stills in Crosby, Stills, & Nash, joining the triplet erstwhile a ten for various projects. In addition to CSN, Stills released solo albums and worked with a nother band, Manassas. Initially, Jim Messina and Richie Furay stayed together, forming the country-rock group Poco, just Messina left field subsequently trey albums to team up in a duet with Kenny Loggins. Furay himself left field Poco and teamed with Chris Hillman and JD Souther in the Souther Hillman Furay Band earlier pursuing a solo career. Rumors of a Buffalo Springfield reunion circulated for days -- Young even hinted at it with the song "Buffalo Springfield Again" -- just it never materialized.
