The Strokes Guitarist Nick Velensi Marries Pregnant Amanda de Cadenet

The Strokes guitarist Nick Valensi married his girlfriend Amanda De Cadenet on Harbour Island in the Bahamas. The New York rocker and British TV presenter-turned-photographer made the announcement in today's Hello! magazine in Britain, but have not disclosed the date of their wedding. It's the first marriage for 25-year-old Valensi, while De Cadenet, 34, has a 14-year-old daughter Atlanta with ex-husband, Duran Duran bassist John Taylor. De Cadenet is expecting twins later this year.

The bride had a wedding dress designed by Marc Jacobs, but had to shelve it for a beach dress at the last minute due to the size of her baby bump.

De Cadenet says, "We've been together for five years and wanting to get married for two. It wasn't as if we felt we had to do this because of the twins. They and the wedding are two entirely separate large events, neither of which was made easier by Nick being away on a world tour. He's probably only spent ten days in New York this last year, so quite how we managed to get pregnant I don't know!

"I called my mum, brother and father when I got to Nassau airport and they weren't hugely surprised. I'm really pleased it was just me and Nick at our wedding, because I cried the whole time."
