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."

Celebrites get married and divorce so much is not funny. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are the only couple I know that have been together for a long time. I bet they will be divorced in a couple of years.

In 2 or 3 years he will be giving away half of everythings he wons and the Cowboy fans will be blaming the distractions of the divorce for another losing season.

I mean half of everything he owns.

At first glance, I thought it was an old picture of Romo and Jessica Simpson. Candice resembles Simpson .... very much.
I can even remember Jesssica Simpson beig photographed with Romo
wearing the same hairstyle. All of Simpson without the picture hounds ..... She is a dead ringer.

I hope they enjoy the toaster I gave them. And more importantly, I hope Tony doesn't fumble the wedding night. Was Jerry Jones watching?

By jryter07

Someone posted that 600 people wasn't a wedding, it was a circus. I agree.... and the cowboy clown quarterback got married while there... just sayin

I can't believe this. People are dead and dying from tornadoes and natural disasters. Who and why do we give a flip about Tony Romo marriage? He is nothing but a ball player who will be getting a divorce someday anyway. General public does not care about this story.

You do understand that this is a celebrity gossip site, right? This site doesn't cover disasters, or politics or human suffering. If you aren't looking for the latest dish on stars and pseudo-stars, this is not the place for you.

While I wish them well,do they really need to register for gifts at Crate and Barrel? With the money he alone makeS,they should have asked the guestS to give the money to a charity. JMHO...

Does he have hair plugs? It sure looks like it...

Did ya'll watch the way her mouth and lips moved? Damn! That Romo is a lucky dude.

By Erin

Congratulations to the happy couple. Six hundred guests, Wow. I don't think I know one hundred people.

By iknowthatzright

Tony Romo's boyfriend is reportedly extremely upset about this! His new wife is said to be ok with the other guy tho.

By Bill

Congratulations Tony, I wish you and your new bride all the best in the world. She's beautiful, and smart too, you got it right.

By WD Simmons

As a Cowboy fan I hope it helps him to play better.

By vincents mommy

What is wrong with her mouth? She talks like she's wearing those invisible braces. Very distracting...

By greatses

She looks a lot Jessica! lol

If that's the room where the wedding reception is going to be held, I give this marriage maybe 2 years, 3 years tops.

NO ONE needs to celebrate their nuptials with that large of a crowd...most of whom they probably barely even know.

This seems like a marriage based on the celebrity of groom...but whaddo I know...maybe they will make it to their 50th anniversary in wedded bliss!!

By janie

Hardly anything more sacred than a Badgley Mischka bridesmaid's dress...okay, that was snarky. I wish them well, but a big fancy wedding does not a marriage make. I hope they are in it for the long haul--and not just the big haul from Crate & Barrel and Macy's. Okay, that was snarky too--I'm just in a mood I guess.

Another thing, it just seems so expected and so stereotypical that Romo would end up marrying someone who looks like a human Barbie doll...after all, a handsome, mega rich star quarterback wouldn't end up with any old plain Jane...

There's just something about her that irks me...she's just too...too..."perfect", it's nauseating...like someone who's coasted all her life based on her looks alone...

BTW, I'm also gay, so Miss Barbie does absolutely nothing for me...so there's zero jealousy or envy on my part...just want to make that clear...
