Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Siebel married in July 2008. As SFgate reported at the time, they wed at her father's ranch in Stevensville, Montana, in front of 230 guests. Siebel arrived in style, astride a black stallion, clad in Vera Wang and glittering diamonds, as the Missoula symphony orchestra played the "Out of Africa" film score.
VIPs jetted in on one of Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin's private planes — while lower profile attendees flew commercial, presumably. The wedding was officiated by clairaudient medium Carol Simone and the couple's sisters were bridesmaids. Newsom's nieces were flower girls, and Siebel's godson was the ring bearer. The blushing bride slipped into another Vera Wang gown while guests were escorted to the reception in horse-drawn carriages. Keeping it real, "steak, salmon, rice, potatoes, [and vegetables]" were dished-up "family-style." The newlyweds danced to "Fallen," which was featured in Richard Gere and Julia Roberts' millionaire falls in love with a sex worker flick, "Pretty Woman."
"I want it to be everything for her that she ever dreamed of," Newsom told The San Francisco Sentinel (via Access Hollywood). "That's why it is Montana. It's her dream, right there on the river ... I want it to be magical." What wasn't magical, however, was the controversy following their big day. According to NBC Bay Area, Newsom was subjected to an investigation for "running up a $15k tab on the city's dime" by using government transportation and police escorts to whisk him to the wedding.
