Tony Romo Marries Candice Crawford in Dallas

By Christine Fenno Posted May 29th 2011 09:02AM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo tied the knot with pageant queen and TV reporter Candice Crawford on Saturday, in a Dallas wedding reportedly attended by 600 guests.

Among those in attendance, according to multiple sources, were singer Ashanti and former Dallas Cowboy Troy Aikman, as well as Chace Crawford -- 'Gossip Girl' star and brother of the bride -- and Jerry Jones, the Cowboys' owner (who sought league approval to attend the event during the NFL lockout).

The couple got engaged in mid-December; they reportedly began dating in the summer of 2009. Romo ended his nearly two-year romance with Jessica Simpson in late July 2009. His other famous exes include Carrie Underwood and Sophia Bush.

The bride, 24, and groom, 31, followed the tradition of registering for gifts, according to E!, creating a wish list at Crate & Barrel and Macy's.

The wedding celebration took place at Arlington Hall, a historic mansion on the grounds of Dallas' Lee Park. Crawford recently told Dallas Cowboys blog Blue Star, "You dream about this as a little girl...You don't dream, though, that Badgley Mischka is going to do your bridesmaids' dresses, and you don't dream that people are going to give you the support that they have. So we're just really thankful...Getting married is an exciting, sacred thing."

Sports stars would have more enduring marriages if they would marry other, opposite sex, athletes instead of superficial media/celebrity type people. With time, they usually find their priories and interests are totally different.

Why don't you just be a gentleman, and wish them well? I know candace Crawford and she is a beautiful young woman inside and out.

By Sue

Peofessional athletes draw the attention of women same as celebs. Many of the pros are as "superficial" as the media types.

Do you think Botox causes her to move, or not move her mouth and lips like that when she talks? Causes you to focus on that part of her face....annoying

Nah, I think you are jealous of her beauty, but that's okay. You can't have him. You must be pretty enough to marry a rich man.

sorry for typo should have typed "professional"

I GIVE IT A WEEK!

What!? No smack talk about how Romo doesn't deserve happiness because he's a lousy quarterback and can't hold a snap for a field goal kick?

By Katie

Oh well, if you insist......!

By Jackie

He maybe a lousy quarterback, but I wish him the best of luck in his marriage. I'm glad he dropped Simpson, because he wouldn't have been married long with her. When she was married to Nick it was 3 in that marriage, her, Nick, and her father. Three in a marriage just won't cut it!

To Sue, While many athletes are just as superficial, many more are not. They achieve their fame based on hard work and talent and, secondarily, genetic "gifts" With movie/tv star/elebrities, especially nowadays, its all about God-given looks primarily. The work, skill, talent part is secondary.

And Frank: I do wish them well but maintain my point is still valid.

Many reporters and media typed have college degrees and work very hard to get where they are.

Stop hating on pretty people. My wife is stunning, but she is more than just that. This is what happens when you get Democrats in office.

By Tom

maybe one day, before it's too late, he'll fully concentrate on football. Dallas deserves better, especially when you look at last season.

Maybe YOU can lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl title...?

again...s o r r y..need to proof read before hitting enter "types"
