French President Nicolas Sarkozy married super model Carla Bruni in a small ceremony on Saturday. Sarkozy, 53, and Bruni, 40, have had a whirlwind courtship, marrying less than three months after they reportedly first met, and less than four months after Sarkozy divorced his second wife, Cecilia. In a terse statement, the couple said: “We were married this morning in the presence of our families in the strictest privacy.”
