Rob & Amber Getting Married Today

[juliet57]

I can't swear it is true, I stumbled across this article while googling something else. Can't vouch for the website as I have never visited it before. I was starting to wonder about the wedding since I had heard Rob and Amber say before it might be May (what a surprise with that being sweeps month).

Report: 'Survivor' couple Amber Brkich and Rob Mariano to marry on April 16


By Wade Paulsen, 04/15/2005

They placed first and second on Survivor: All Stars. They are one of the final five teams in The Amazing Race 7. And now, according to press reports, their wedding will take on what's become reality TV's biggest annual event of the year: the American Idol finale.

"They" are Amber Brkich and "Boston Rob" Mariano, who became engaged on the finale of Survivor: All Stars and had previously negotiated to have their wedding televised. According to a story in Amber's hometown Beaver County Times newspaper, Amber and Rob will tie the knot secretly on April 16 in the Bahamas, with CBS taping the wedding for broadcast on May 24, the next-to-last day of the 2004-05 TV season ... and the day of the final performances on Fox's American Idol.

Apparently due to the terms of their contract with CBS, Amber, Rob and their families have refused comment on this report. In fact, even the wedding guests have reportedly had to sign confidentiality contracts. However, the Beaver County Times reports that most of the wedding guests from Amber's home region of Beaver County, Pennsylvania left for the Bahamas on Wednesday.

Local residents had previously spotted CBS camera crews filming Amber's bridal shower on March 5 at a local country club, as well as a shopping trip for a bridal gown. Thus, despite the lack of any formal announcements by CBS or "Romber," locals were watching for clues to the wedding date.

According to the paper, bridesmaids at Amber and Rob's wedding will wear teal gowns. Groomsmen's wear is not known, although Amber had previously told the CBS's The Early Show that she wanted the men to wear white linen pants.

Despite Amber's million-dollar bounty for winning Survivor: All Stars, plus whatever they end up winning on The Amazing Race 7, she and Rob have managed to find a better way to pay for their wedding: have CBS pick up the tab. After the wedding, "Romber" might be tempted to scrimp a little more and use one of the trips that they won on The Amazing Race 7 for their honeymoon: either to Monaco or to London. (The third trip that they've won so far, to the Bahamas, wouldn't seem to be a good honeymoon destination for a couple already getting married in the Bahamas...).

The soon-to-be-newlyweds have purchased a home near Pensacola, Florida, where Rob's Massachusetts-based family also owns real estate.

Amazing-ly, Rob & Amber thought wedding was secret

Even the cunning wiles ``Boston'' Rob Mariano has honed on ``Survivor'' and ``The Amazing Race'' couldn't keep his weekend wedding under wraps from the Track!

Oh, it was supposed to be an ever-so-stealthy scene at sundown on Saturday when the Canton homey and his reality-TV honey, Amber Brkich, tied the knot on the beach in the Bahamas in front of family, friends and a film crew from CBS.

The toothsome TV twosome did the deed behind the Royal Towers at the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island ``under a beautiful arch made of seashells,'' reports one of our sand spies.

Now, if memory serves, didn't the reviled reality honeys win a trip to the Atlantis last month on the ``Amazing Race'' after the groom greased the palms of a bus driver securing his and his fiancee's first-place finish? If so, does the Amazing wedding at the resort count as the free trip???? Hmmmm.

Anyway, hundreds of Rob and Amber's nearest and dearest beat feet for the sunny Bahamas for the nups, even though CBS paid the freight only for the bridal party and the couple's immediate families.

All had to sign release forms since ``Survivor'' sultan Mark Burnett's camera crew planned to film festivities to air during May sweeps.

Well they really seem suited for each other, and get along well. I hope they have a great marriage.

I viewed their registry at target.com.
Awww...looks like the Scotch Brite scouring pads are still on their list, if anyone's interested in sending a belated gift to the happy couple.
