Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives) & Tony Parker (San Antonio Spurs) destination wedding gossip + Punta Cana resorts in Dominican Republic

Eva Longoria was apparently seen visiting the ancient French church of St Germain L'Aucerrois.

The gossip is that the wedding will take place in St Germain L'Aucerrois and the reception in the Chateau de Chantilly, a 16th-century castle seen in the James Bond movie A View To A Kill.

Obviously this coule doesn't need to worry about affording a big wedding and a nice honeymoon (although the honeymoon has to wait). After all, they are paying $30,000 for the wedding cake...

Here's an article on fancy honeymoon suites in various hotels but these $300+/night rooms are a bit more affordable then French castles...

One thing they mention are a pair of resorts in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic:

Excellence Punta Cana, formally Secrets Punta Cana, is a couples-only resort with a $562 a night honeymoon suite (ocean-view private terrace with indoor and outdoor private Jacuzzis). The resort has a pool that runs the entire length of the hotel but it can't possibly be as big as the lagoon in Plantation Bay.

Ocean Blue Golf and Beach Resort starts at $300/night for the honeymoon package (Dominican cigars, private dancing lessons, aromatherapy massages, private sailing lessons and romantic horseback riding). This one is all-inclusive.

I also have a friend who personally recommends Punta Cana Sunscape. This is what he writes:

Best all inclusive I've been to. People were very nice. Accomodations were excellent as was the weather. Went deep sea fishing and our boat with 7 passengers landed 2 marlin (one 240 blue, one 150 white) and a 75 lb. "cuda". Snorkeling about 35 yards from shore and saw a "ray".

Definitely a couples place or a honeymoon spot. In fact there were 44 weddings over a 6 day period.

There isn't a great selection of beer. They have Presidente and another beer. Presidente is a great beer, especially cold. I have found it in South Florida and it is always good. The other beer is nothing to write home about. It is Soberano and it tastes like moose piss... they try to pawn that off to you a lot.

There are plenty of activities for the kids. They have a daily schedule and when I was down there there were plenty of them.

The food wasn't bad. I actually liked it. There was a Japanese place which was good and grill place which was very good. Then there was a classy place, were you had to dress up which was great. I paid extra for the lobster. The room service food wasn't great. The pizza was okay. Just one word of advice, drink only beer and nothing with ice and coconut milk. They use goat cocoanut milk and the ice is not pure. I think that is how I got sick (Montezuma's revenge). I drank only beer and wine from then on.

It was one thousand per person. We stayed for 7 days. It was a great deal, in my eyes. I am not sure if I would go there again though. There just weren't enough different activities. Maybe when I have a family of my own.
