"French President Nicolas Sarkozy married former model Carla Bruni on Saturday at the Elysee Palace, according to the official who performed the ceremony.

''The bride wore white; she was ravishing, as usual,'' Francois Lebel, mayor of Paris' eighth arrondissement, or neighborhood, told Europe-1 radio. ''The groom wasn't bad either.''

It was a historic occasion, ''the first time in the history of the Republic that a president has gotten married in office,'' as Lebel said.

Sarkozy, 53, and Bruni, 40, were married in the presence of about 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."
