THE TELEGRAPH: Nicolas Sarkozy, the president of France, and his new wife, now known as Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, began their married life looking a shade gloomy after a two-month whirlwind romance.
In the first photographs since the pair married on Saturday in a discreet ceremony at the Elyseé [sic] Palace, they were shown strolling mournfully in long coats around the grounds of La Lanterne, an 18th century hunting lodge beside the Château de Versailles, which Mr Sarkozy uses at weekends.
Yesterday the two made their first public appearance as a married couple at a Versailles café, where they acted as one would expect of newly-weds.
Suspense over the wedding date had been mounting ever since Mr Sarkozy hinted early last month that the press would find out about their wedding after the event.
But there had been recent speculation that Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy, who once said that "monogamy bores me desperately", may have been having second thoughts. Quiet life for Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni >>> By Henry Samuel in Paris
