Eddie Murphy Ties the Knot

Besides beginning a whole new year on New Year’s Day, Eddie Murphy and his fiancé Tracey Edmonds began a marriage, exchanging vows in a private ceremony.

Ever since they got engaged this past July, we’ve been wondering when they’d say, “I do.” And it turns out they snuck off to a private island off the coast of Bora Bora and invited 25 of their closest friends and family for the occasion.

And it pays to be a close friend of the couple! The bridesmaids all received diamond earrings from XIV Karats (a high-end Beverly Hills jeweler) while the groomsmen sported D.Atlantis watches courtesy of the groom.

Reportedly, Edmonds looked radiant dressed in a “custom-designed form-fitting” Sugia Zazel and Jill Baracci dress. The “Coming to America” actor wore a cream suit complete with a vest and handkerchief.

The happy couple exchanged vows under a gazebo made of over 6,000 shells (designed by celebrity wedding planner Colin Cowie) on the private island’s beach. And if there’s one good thing about getting married on New Year’s Day, it’s that you’ll never forget your anniversary.
