Congratulations to Kaka & Caroline

Posted on by

Well I was wrong Kaka has already tied the knot before Xmas and the World Cup. So here’s the brief details borrowed from Wikipedia:

“Kaká’s wife is 18 year old (as of 2005) Caroline Celico, who he married on 23 December 2005 at the evangelical Reborn in Christ Church in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in a wedding attended by fellow players from his national team, as well as other well known international players. Guests included Ronaldo, Adriano, Cafu, Brazilian national coach Carlos Alberto Parreira, Julio Baptista., and Dida They met in 2002, and started dating soon after. The relationship survived Kaká’s 2003 move from Sao Paulo to play in Italy, while Caroline was still in school. After the planned honeymoon Kaká will rejoin AC Milan for a game in early January. It is likely that Caroline will stay in Brazil in the short-run, but the couple plan to live together in Italy very soon.”

I also have the complete set of pics from the wedding taken by getty images for your viewing pleasure.

Five other key wedding facts I’ve found:

  • The church choir sang a song especially written by Kaka for his bride according to a guest who asked not to be identified.
  • They flew by helicopter to avoid the city traffic to a party at a posh hotel.
  • Caroline’s guests included her teenage classmates from the St. Paul’s British School, which she attended until last year.
  • Kaka met Caroline, who comes from a wealthy Sao Paulo family, in 2002. Her mother represents fashion house Christian Dior in Brazil.
  • For the wedding, Caroline wore a Christian Dior dress (not surprisingly!), while Kaka was in a Giorgio Armani suit.

    • And finally I’ve tracked down the ‘money shot’ from the wedding – plus a report on the wedding:

    There will be news coming soon of his cousin’s wedding in his home town of Taguatina (I even tried to join his cousin’s gym a couple of years ago but they wouldn’t let me in!).

    Plus: I’ve created free downloadable Kaka wallpaper for your computer.

    Fired for blogging (aka: Dooced)

    My friend Meg was fired from her job as Department Chair of Communications and Composition at DeVry University in Westminster, Colorado, U.S.A. because of her blog. The administration didn’t tell her specifically what she said that they found so offensive.

    There’s a brief explanation in the Blogspotting section of Business Week, including a comment from the guy fired from Google for blogging, Mark Jen. The article in the Denver Post is also worth a gander – David Harsanyi suggesting in conclusion that the students of DeVry should press the administration to reveal the offending blog post.
