Eddie & Tracey To Make It Legal With Stateside Ceremony
A sunset wedding on the beach in Bora Bora may be romantic, but the marriage is not exactly legal. Actor Eddie Murphy and his bride Tracey Edmonds, who swapped vows January 1st in the French Polynesian island paradise, will have to go through proper channels on U.S. soil in order to have their bond recognized. According to sources, the nuptials aren't recognized in Bora Bora either, since neither the bride nor groom are legal residents of the Tahitian outpost.
A rep for Edmonds addressed questions about the legality of the couple's union on Thursday (January 3rd). "As is typical when couples get married in foreign countries, a legal ceremony will take place when they return to the U.S.," the rep told People.com. "The wedding that took place in Bora Bora was a ceremony to bind Eddie and Tracey spiritually in the presence of family and friends. The couple plan a legal ceremony as soon as they return to the States."
There was no word on whether Murphy and Edmonds plan to hold another formal wedding stateside or whether they will visit Beverly Hills City Hall.
