Sabrina Costelana & Victor Newman
Art Curator Sabrina Costelana Newman and Victor Newman, last June, in a barn on the grounds of Newman Ranch, Genoa City, WI. It was, without question, one of the most glamorous and lavish weddings in recent memory. Sadly, the marriage ended months later when the bride lost her life in a car accident.
Gloria Simmons and Jeffrey Bardwell
Jeffrey Bardwell and Gloria Simmons, last June, in Las Vegas, NV. With the Rev. Richard Penniman officiating. The marriage ended in March of this year, but the couple may only be taking a break, as their first marriage to each other started in January of last year, ending in divorce by May. The wedding pictured here is the second. Previous to these two marriages, the bride was married to the groom's identical twin brother for six weeks. The officiating minister is also known in music circles as Little Richard.

Mexican television news journalist Paula Rojas Hinojosa and soccer star turned sportscaster Luis Roberto Alves Dos Santos Galvranic wed in March in Quintana Roo, Mexico. Mexican President Felipe Calderon Hinojosa attended; the bride is his niece.
