Sarkozy's ex-wife Cecilia remarries in New York

New York: The former wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy remarried on Sunday night at the famed Rainbow Room in New York's Rockefeller Centre.

While details about the nuptials have been kept under wraps, it was reported that Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz married Richard Attias, an events planner.

Two limousine-type luxury buses of people in formal wear arrived at the Rainbow Room shortly before 7pm.

The couple had booked the Rainbow Room for a Sunday evening wedding and reception, reports said. The 65th floor room has a revolving dance floor and offers a panoramic view of New York.

The wedding ceremony was scheduled to draw 150 guests, culminating three days of private festivities that began with a party on Friday at Attias' house in Connecticut, reports said.

Photographers snapped photos of Ciganer-Albeniz and Attias as they emerged together on Saturday evening from a car to see the Abba-inspired musical Mamma Mia! at a Broadway theatre.

The marriage will be the third for 50-year-old Ciganer-Albeniz. Her first husband was French television presenter Jacques Martin. Attias, a 48-year-old Jewish Moroccan-born multi-millionaire, is the president of Paris-based Publicis Events Worldwide with offices around the world.

Ciganer-Albeniz left Sarkozy in May 2005 to live with Attias, but returned to Sarkozy's side in the run-up to France's presidential elections last spring. Their divorce was announced in October, ending an 11-year marriage.

Last month, the French leader married Carla Bruni, the Italian-born singer and former model.
