Telenovela Actress Weds in Costa Rica

March 2006 -- Although officially wed in a civil ceremony held on March 3, 2006 at the Hotel Marriott in San Jose, Costa Rica, telenovela actress Carolina Tejera ("Gata Salvaje, "Inocente de Ti") and her love Don Stockwell were united in holy matrimony the following day during a religious ceremony conducted at the Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles in Cartago. This site annually greets thousands of faithful pilgrims who flock to the house of worship each August 2nd in reverence to La Negrita (The Black Virgin), the country's patron saint.

Eight hundred guests, including baseball great Sammy Sosa, actor Esai Morales and singers Marco Antonio Solis and Ednita Nazario rose from the rows of wooden pews adorned with arrangements of white roses and lilies as the bride made her entrance in a white gown created by Venezuelan designer Samy Gicherman. The garment's Elizabethan collar, when paired with the dainty tiara which rested upon the bride's blonde tresses, made a regal statement as the actress made her way to the altar. A long, diaphanous veil completed the ethereal look.

Following the evening nuptials, the newlyweds and their guests convened at The Hotel Real Intercontinental, where music by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico played until the break of day.
