Sarkozy to marry Carla
PARIS (AFP) - French President Nicolas Sarkozy is to marry his new girlfriend, the former model turned singer Carla Bruni, a French newspaper reported Sunday, claiming a wedding was "imminent".
Citing several anonymous sources, the Journal du Dimanche said the couple, currently on a private visit to Jordan at the invitation of King Abdullah II, are believed to have set a wedding date for either February 8 or 9.
Presidential spokesman David Martinon declined to comment on the front-page story.
Sarkozy, 52, and Bruni, 39, were photographed on Saturday touring the rose-red city of Petra in southern Jordan, the president carrying Bruni's young son Aurelien on his shoulders.
During a Christmas trip to Egypt, the recently-divorced president reportedly gave Bruni an engagement ring -- a pink diamond heart -- while Bruni gave him a luxury Swiss watch in grey steel.
Sarkozy and Bruni -- heiress to a tyre fortune whose former boyfriends include rock stars Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton -- have been trailed by a swarm of paparazzi since their romance was first publicised in mid-December.
Bruni may accompany Sarkozy on an official trip to India late this month, according to local media, which said the government of the morally conservative country was struggling to find the right protocol to greet her.
The French president and his second wife Cecilia announced their divorce in October after 11 years of a tumultuous marriage. Sarkozy has a 10-year-old son with Cecilia, as well two grown sons from a previous marriage.
Bruni's mother Marisa Tedeschi Bruni was quoted in the Italian press last month saying the president had asked for her daughter's hand in marriage.
Sarkozy, who has yet to comment publicly on his new relationship, is to answer questions on the subject at a New Year's press conference Tuesday, as a poll showed his confidence rating slipping seven points -- a drop blamed in part on voter concerns about his relationship.

You're right.I find her attractive.Also it obvious she knows how to behave herself : she was raised in an intellectual background.Her father was a wealthy businness man as well as the manager of the Opera of Turino (north of Italy),he also wrote some pieces of classical music.
Carla has had a fantastic career in her own right,both as a model and a singer.
Carla & Nicola seem happy to be happy together.

President Sarkozy could be wed by time of his state visit to UK in March
7 JANUARY 2008
Cosy images of France's President Nicolas Sarkozy and his former model companion Carla Bruni sightseeing with her young son are fuelling reports the couple could tie the knot as early as next month.
According to the French media, a trip down the aisle has been booked for February 8 or 9 - a date which has not been denied by Mr Sarkozy's spokesman.
Meanwhile, British newspapers are speculating that the move to formalise the relationship is so the Italian beauty can be received by the Queen during the French premier's state visit to Britain in March.
At the weekend the couple - who met at a dinner toward the end of last year - certainly looked like a family unit as they toured the ancient Jordanian city of Petra. At one point, the powerful politician even hoisted six-year-old Aurelien, whose father is a well-known French philosopher, on his shoulders.
Talk of wedding bells for the pair has been in the air ever since Carla's mother, Marisa Tedeschi Bruni, told newspapers the statesman had asked for her daughter's hand. "I said to him, 'Monsieur le President I have no reason to refuse'," she revealed, adding: "Carla is living an authentic love story."

hello!

Mr Sarkozy - and now his wife - will be accorded every privilege of state, from occupying one of Windsor Castle's most lavish state apartments to riding everywhere in a horse-drawn carriage with a guard of honour.
Place settings are already being worked out for a State Banquet in St George's Hall in the castle.
Mr Sarkozy will be expected to reciprocate with a banquet on the last evening of his visit, with the Queen and other members of the Royal Family in attendance.

Nicolas Sarkozy hints at wedding bells
Nicolas Sarkozy today cast aside the French political tradition of secrecy about the president's personal life to disclose that he is making marriage plans with his new girlfriend, the Italian former supermodel Carla Bruni.
The French President told a press conference at the Elysee Palace that the couple's relationship was "serious," and refused to dismiss speculation that the pair are about to marry - just three months since his divorce.
Asked whether reports that he was planning to marry Ms Bruni next month were correct, Mr Sarkozy referred to the story in the French Sunday newspaper Journal du Dimanche (JDD), answering: "It’s serious. It isn't the JDD which will fix the date."
The French President, 52, added: "There is a strong chance that you will learn about it once it’s already been done."
Mr Sarkozy's relationship with Ms Bruni, a 40-year-old ex-model and pop singer, whose former boyfriends include Mick Jagger, was 'outed' in the press two months ago, shortly after his wife, Cecilia, divorced him last October.
Although aides claim the President has a right to a private life, the relationship has drawn criticism French traditionalists, who claim the President has been made to look ridiculous.
Defending his relationship, Mr Sarkozy appeared to make an unspoken reference to Francois Mitterrand, the former President, when he told journalists he was deliberately being open about his relationship in contrast to another leader who took a trip to Egypt “in a presidential plane" with "a second family".
Mr Miterrand's mistress, Anne Pingeot, and his illegitimate daughter, Mazarine, were not publicly acknowledged in France until the President's funeral, when they were seated near to his widow and legitimate family.
“Everyone knew about it and nobody talked about it,” Mr Sarkozy said. “Carla and I have decided not to lie."
Last Sunday, the JDD newspaper reported that the pair had agreed to marry in secret on January 8 or 9. The President's aides refused to deny the story.
Marisa Tedeschi Bruni, her mother, was quoted as saying that the President had asked for her daughter’s hand. "I said to him, ‘Monsieur le Président, I have no reason to refuse’," she said. "Carla is living an authentic love story. I think that they make a good couple."
Partly as a result of the Bruni affair and partly due to concerns over the economy, Mr Sarkozy’s approval rating was this week revealed to have dropped below 50 per cent for the first time since his election last May.
However Xavier Darcos, the Education Minister, shot back at critics who said the president's private life was becoming a media circus.
"I believe that a happy president, and I was about to say a president in love, is a president that has without a doubt more of a bounce in his step and will be more energetic and efficient in fulfilling his duties," he said, in an interview to LCI television today.
"The French people will have to get used to modernity. There is nothing more natural than to show ourselves as we are, to be transparent, open as you would expect a modern couple to be."

he doesnt have to be a hyprocit but he doesnt have to INVITE the media into his private life either

tacky, tacky man

 

[newprincesita]

Marrying a beautiful woman could make Sarko look good as a man. But being dumped for another guy in a couple of years, could do him no favor....He could turn into a national joke.

Please dont forget this thread is about Carla,her career,her style and her life.
The fact that she may very soon marry the President of France,shouldnt make us start talking about politics..unless Im afraid,one of the mods may shut this thread down.
This is just my point of view.I dont mean to offend anyone in anyway.
