Marko Jaric, who had been quoted by People Magazine as saying: “I was not the person to fall in love easily.  I am a little difficult from that standpoint”, has managed to put aside his ‘difficulties’—to marry Victoria’s Secret supermodel Adriana Lima.  The two eloped to Jackson Hole, Wyoming (I’m assuming every place else on the planet was booked), where they exchanged wedding rings in a private civil ceremony on February 14.  Awwwww.

Yeah, This Guy Just Married Adriana Lima.

Yeah, This Guy Just Married Adriana Lima.

Lima became famous not only for her freakish beauty, but also her religious belief that sex in only for marriage, and that she would remain a virgin until her wedding night.  If she maintained these beliefs, it is a miracle that Jaric waited through nine months of dating to propose in June of last year, and until this Valentine’s Day to get married.  On the other hand, he has something to brag about from now until the end of time.

They also plan to have another wedding this summer.  Says Adriana: “We are really looking forward to a big romantic wedding this summer with all of our friends and family”.  They are looking into holding the next ceremony in either her native Brazil (of course) or his native Serbia.  This news gives further hope to all funny-looking professional athletes (Jaric plays for the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves).  It proves that the most beautiful women in the world don’t necessarily want to be with the most beautiful men in the world—as long as the man is a professional athlete or musician and makes a gigantic salary. 

How we would like to believe that it is more than that, that this is a love that will last forever.  And it might.  It could also be that Marko Jaric was just tickled to bag a babe like Adriana Lima.  He said that his previous problems with falling in love were no longer an issue, and that “Now, it’s a little different situation.”

Really?

Maybe that ‘little difference’ is that his wife is known for looking stunning while parading on catwalks in lingerie.  Maybe that ‘little difference’ is her much-storied virginity.  Maybe the ‘little difference’ it that, while he sleeps next to Adriana Lima, teenaged boys all over the world will be locked in their bathrooms with only the Victoria’s Secret catalog to keep them company.

We’ll see how Adriana fares while visiting Jaric during the winter months in Minnesota.  I hope she remembers to bring a warm jacket.
