The Brazilian Wedding of Tania Mara

March 2007 -- On the top of a five-tier wedding cake a small groom figure, camera in hand, films his bride. The miniature couple were a loving representation of director Jayme Monjardim and his favorite muse, Brazilian singer Tania Mara, who became his wife on March 10, 2007, first in a civil ceremony, then in a public blessing of their love.

Wearing a lace-embellished white dress, a single white flower adorned the hair of the bride as she walked down the aisle of the Chapel of Sao Jose das Botas, located on the grounds of Hotel Fazenda Florenca in Conservatoria, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The haunting refrain of "Ave Maria," sung by Elba Ramalho, rang out in the house of worship during the ceremony, which was witnessed by such esteemed guests as Marcos Frota, Fernanda Vasconellos, and Regina Duarte.
