Everything's bigger in Texas!
NFL star Tony Romo married Candice Crawford Saturday night in Dallas, Texas. The couple said "I do" in front of 600 guests, including R&B singer Ashanti and Kim Kardashian's ex-beau Miles Austin.
In insider told Us Weekly the couple wrote their own vows, and Crawford was crying most of the ceremony. After Romo, 31, and Crawford's ceremony in a covered white tent, the song "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas played. An insider told Us the reception was held on a white-covered balcony outside a huge, white air-conditioned tent. Strands of white lights were wrapped around several trees, and a jazz band played "Beyond the Sea," "Let's Get Lost" and other tunes throughout the night. Romo's teammates "were on the floor dancing the whole time."
Wedding planner Todd Fiscus told local station WFAA-TV that the couple and their guests dined on short ribs, and the reception also included a pizza bar. A source told Us during dinner, a video of the couple's proposal played. "The wedding cake was almost as tall as the ceiling," the source added. "It was huge!"
Crawford's bridesmaids wore Badgley Mischka dresses, and Romo and the men in the wedding party wore custom made Dolce & Gabbana tuxes. "They all wore white jackets and black tuxedo pants," a source said. In lieu of a limousine, the newlyweds left the wedding party in a vintage Cadillac. The party went on until around 2:00 a.m.

Romo and Crawford, 24, began dating in the summer of 2009 and were engaged in December 2010. Crawford is the kid sister of Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford, and also a former beauty queen and local news TV personality. (Chace gave a toast to the couple at the rehearsal dinner, but not on the actual wedding day.)
Romo famously dated Jessica Simpson for nearly two years; he ended their relationship in July 2009, the night before her 29th birthday. Before Simpson, he also romanced Carrie Underwood and actress Sophia Bush.

Simpson, 30, got engaged to another footballer, Eric Johnson, in November 2010. She confirmed her good news days after ex-hubby Nick Lachey announced his own engagement to Vanessa Minillo after four years of on-and-off dating.

12i think they make a great couple. Congradulations guys.
i just don't have a good feeling about her. there's nothing special or unique about her. i've met her type before, & they are not the nicest people in the world.

The Candice is beautiful and Tony is handsome, congratulations on you.
Who cares??? and besides both him and Jessica have moved on... they tried and it didnt work so why do they keep being linked anyways??? and somehow im sure Tony can look after himself...hes a big boy people....jeeez
Tony has the biggest chin. It might just be the angle, but jeez.
People are giving this girl too much credit. "If she hurts him" please! Is she that powerful? This girl is a former beauty queen. ALL beauty queens want to be in front of a camera in some capicity. Her career isn't taking off so being a quarterbacks wife will maybe get her bigger broadcasting gigs. I'll bet E! will be calling soon to get wedding info and she'll talk to them and be a special correspondent soon. Look for her next years Golden Globes "Who are you wearing?"
Candice Crawford, to me, looks like a fake and a fraud. If she hurts him, there will be hell to pay for her. As for Jessica Simpson, did you people ever think that maybe Tony Romo dumped her because it just wasn't working out anymore, and that he was sick of being used by her and her stupid father? Did you ever think about that? Something tells me no.
Tony is not a stand-up guy either, he dumped Jessica bcoz she desn't fit into the trophy-wife mold! If Candice is upto something(do i hear ka-ching!!), then they both got what they deserve.
there's something not right about candice. she better not hurt tony or there will be trouble.
What about the scoop on Candice's wedding Dress? Youre slacking USmagazine. LOL.
This is an UGLY CHEESY man! I don't like this guy, I don't like his lack of sensitivity and I don't like rich men who think they can BUY beautiful women to date them. The problem is that unfortunately they can. Just think about Trump's or Larry King's wives. I HOPE Romo's wife cheats on him!
