Christina Aguilera Goes Bridal *more news added*

[NoDayButToday]

It's official....


Christina Aguilera has gone from Dirrty Girl to married girl.

The pop princess, 24, and her longtime boyfriend, music mogul Jordan Bratman, 28, swapped vows Saturday in a lavish ceremony at Napa Valley's Auberge Du Soleil resort.

It's the first marriage for both.

Word leaked of the nuptials on Friday, with the press descending en masse to wine country. Us Weekly was the first out of the gate Saturday with news that the "I dos" went down.

Aguilera wore a Christian Lacroix dress and the pair were exchanged wedding bands designed by London-based jeweler Stephen Webster, who also created the singer's five-carat diamond sparkler.

The bridesmaids wore dresses designed by Kai Milla, Stevie Wonder's wife.


Aguilera and Bratman got engaged in February, after Bratman popped the question in a hotel room in Carmel, California.

"He got down on one knee and said, 'Will you do me the honor of being my wife?' I've been floating ever since," Aguilera told People at the time.

The pair celebrated their engagement with a joint bachelor/bachelorette party in Las Vegas over Halloween weekend, to which the "Beautiful" singer came dressed as a nurse and Bratman came as a doctor.

Aguilera and Bratman met in 2002, when he worked at her management company, AzoffMusic Management.

Aguilera, a Mouseketeer turned pop diva, has earned considerable raves for her vocal chops over the past several years, chalking up a Best New Artist Grammy in 1999, a Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals Grammy in 2002 for "Lady Marmalade" and the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy for "Beautiful" in 2004.

She is currently at work on her upcoming album, which she recently described on her paid fan site as a "throwback to the 1920s, '30s and '40s" and her "best work yet." The as-yet untitled album is expected in the spring.

"It's been really fun experimenting, challenging and pushing myself to bring you something completely different and revealing," Aguilera wrote on her site.

The singer attributed some of her musical growth to her relationship with Bratman.

"We have introduced each other to whole new worlds of music, so it will definitely show!" Aguilera wrote.

"I start to cry when I think of all he has brought to my life," she wrote. "As a team, we make each other stronger, wiser...just better."

Here's to many more years of reciprocal betterment for the "Stripped" singer and her new husband.

"CHRISTINA AGUILERA shed her Dirrty pop image – to tie the knot in a secret POSH wedding.
The singer married music executive JORDAN BRATMAN in a beautiful sunset ceremony in California’s wine region on Saturday evening.

Christina, wearing a stunning CHRISTIAN LACROIX dress and with her hair shimmering with jewels, arrived in a white Rolls-Royce and walked down the aisle at the Staglin Family Vineyard in the Napa Valley at 6pm.

The bride and groom exchanged rings made by top London jeweller Stephen Webster and the bridesmaids were dressed by STEVIE WONDER’s designer wife KAI MILLA.

The 130 guests at the £1.5million bash included SHARON STONE, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, CAMERON DIAZ, CARMEN ELECTRA and DREW BARRYMORE.

Also there were Christina’s mother, her team of dancers and manager Irving Azoff.

A source tells me: “Every detail of the wedding was planned to perfection. Christina looked breathtakingly beautiful and it was all genuinely lovely — not the tasteless tat that you expect from some celebrities.

“She has a reputation for showing the flesh and behaving badly but the wedding was gorgeous. It sets a new standard.”

Christina hired top LA caterers who put together menus that included Japanese and Italian dishes.

The couple, who got engaged in February, arrived in the area on Wednesday night and stayed at a £2,500-a-night cottage at the luxury resort Auberge Du Soleil.

On Thursday night there was a party for early guests and the next evening saw a lavish Chinese dinner at the resort followed by a dress rehearsal at the vineyard."

She seems pretty happy with this guy and also seems to keep the whole thing low key, ie. out of the press as much as possible. Maybe they actually have a chance.

Secret? That reporter needs to get a different job, everyone knew about this wedding.

So true, Kimberly. I knew and actually don't even give a shit...

I love Christina. She actually has some talent, and even though she's had more years of bad style than good, she's been looking really pretty again. Don't know what she sees in that Ratboy, though!
