披上婚紗 仍被蒙在鼓里
今年1月22日，當(dāng)伊薇特身著象牙色的Oleg Cassini(美國高級(jí)時(shí)裝品牌)禮服、頭披白紗，隨著顫動(dòng)人心的婚禮進(jìn)行曲步入甬道的時(shí)候，她還不知道自己是真正的新娘。在她身后的兩名女子也身著婚紗在音樂聲中行進(jìn)，所以她以為自己只是在進(jìn)行時(shí)裝表演。由于一心想著表演，她也沒注意到一個(gè)極不尋常的情況：觀眾們都穿著正式的禮服。當(dāng)看到她的母親和父親也在場時(shí)，她還是沒有猜到這是她的婚禮。
伊薇特說：“如果那天是我的生日的話，我也許會(huì)猜出是怎么回事了�？墒�，誰能想到自己會(huì)有一個(gè)意外的婚禮呢?”
瘋狂大膽的未婚夫
伊薇特的未婚夫范伯格今年44歲，是佛羅里達(dá)州坦帕市的一位律師。他的朋友們贊賞他既富于創(chuàng)造力，又很瘋狂。范伯格在一次看電視里的'時(shí)裝表演時(shí)突然冒出這個(gè)主意，于是策劃了這場秘密的婚禮。他的朋友們表示羨慕他的勇氣，但認(rèn)為策劃秘密婚禮既緊迫又有壓力。一些女性朋友對(duì)范伯格說，如果她們的男朋友給她們一個(gè)秘密婚禮，她們會(huì)非常生氣。但范伯格了解伊薇特，他說：“伊薇特喜歡驚喜�！�
曲折的戀情 浪漫的求婚
伊薇特和范伯格是在2002年秋天相遇的，6個(gè)月后，他們開始約會(huì)。范伯格的第一次婚姻以離婚告終，伊薇特則離過兩次婚。范伯格說：“我向伊薇特求過差不多60次婚，最初沒有打動(dòng)她，她還沒認(rèn)定我是能跟她走完余生的人�！痹�(jīng)有一次伊薇特已經(jīng)同意跟他結(jié)婚，但又反悔了，伊薇特說：“我只是不想倉促地做任何事�！�
之后，伊薇特發(fā)現(xiàn)自己懷孕了，而這時(shí)她又和前夫相遇了，似乎舊情復(fù)燃。8個(gè)月后，當(dāng)伊薇特出現(xiàn)在范伯格面前時(shí)，她給了他一個(gè)驚喜——舉著一塊紙板，上面寫著“你愿意娶我嗎?”范伯格回答說：“絕對(duì)愿意!”
婚禮開始秘密籌劃
1年后，也就是2004年，他們的女兒雪梨出世。12月份他們搬到了佛羅里達(dá)州的圣彼得堡市，這時(shí)伊薇特又懷孕了。這時(shí)，范伯格的秘密計(jì)劃已經(jīng)展開了行動(dòng)。當(dāng)伊薇特問他什么時(shí)候結(jié)婚時(shí)，他就想方設(shè)法推脫。最后，他答應(yīng)在2005年3月在他們的院子里舉行婚禮。然后到坦帕領(lǐng)取結(jié)婚證書。
與此同時(shí)，范伯格得到了伊薇特好朋友諾拉·岡瑟的支持。諾拉也是一名模特，她聯(lián)系到一家電視臺(tái)專門播放婚禮節(jié)目的頻道的制片人，制片人同意轉(zhuǎn)播這場秘密婚禮。另一方面，范伯格勸說大衛(wèi)婚禮用品商店(伊薇特的婚紗就是范伯格從這家商店買的)的老板，舉辦一場婚紗時(shí)裝表演，以便把婚紗借給秘密婚禮上的其他模特穿。
范伯格把婚禮地點(diǎn)定在邁阿密的國家酒店，并準(zhǔn)備好了一切事宜。然后，他秘密同一個(gè)模特經(jīng)紀(jì)公司交涉，請他們“聘請”伊薇特作婚紗模特。之后，范伯格又靜悄悄地邀請了約50位親友，伊薇特的父親專程從洪都拉斯飛到邁阿密。
激動(dòng)人心的驚喜時(shí)刻
當(dāng)親友們都已經(jīng)在酒店的禮堂里就座，伊薇特步入甬道時(shí)，她看見前方有一個(gè)老年男士背對(duì)她站著，以為他是扮演新娘父親的模特。于是伊薇特走過去從身后挽住他的胳膊。但是直到走到了甬道的一半，伊薇特才發(fā)現(xiàn)：這個(gè)人不是模特，而是她的父親!她發(fā)出吃驚的尖叫。這時(shí)她又看見甬道盡頭的范伯格和他們的女兒，以及站在范伯格身邊的、他最好的朋友帕特里克·史密斯。伊薇特又是一聲尖叫。
當(dāng)伊薇特走到他們身邊，她似乎已經(jīng)被極度的驚喜弄得暈眩了。范伯格對(duì)她說：“我們現(xiàn)在就要結(jié)婚了�！�
婚禮當(dāng)天的晚上，伊薇特把范伯格 “拷問”到深夜3點(diǎn)鐘。最后，伊薇特知道了秘密計(jì)劃里的所有細(xì)節(jié)。她說：“我不可能有比這更好的婚禮了!” When Yvette Beauchamp got a call from an agent late last year asking her to model in a bridal fashion show, she excitedly told her fiancé, Ric Feinberg. The show paid well and would even be seen on cable television.
What Ms. Beauchamp didn"t know was that she had just been booked for her own wedding.
On Jan. 22, when Ms. Beauchamp stepped out on the runway to throbbing dance music in an ivory halter dress by Oleg Cassini, she said she still had not figured out that she was to be a real-life bride. After all, two other women were also parading in bridal gowns. "I was just hamming it up for the cameras," explained Ms. Beauchamp, a 39-year-old brunette with a giant smile whose work as a fitness model includes demonstrating exercise equipment on televised shopping shows.
In her zeal, she said, she failed to notice that the unusually boisterous audience was in formal wear and included her mother, Gloria Beauchamp, and Mr. Feinberg"s father, Dr. Sidney Feinberg, who had brought along his Yorkie clad in a tiny tuxedo jacket.
"Maybe if it was my birthday I would have guessed something was going on," Ms. Beauchamp said, maintaining she was clueless. "I mean, who would ever think of a surprise wedding?"
Mr. Feinberg, a 44-year-old lawyer in Tampa, Fla., whom friends describe as either creative or crazy, in equally admiring tones, got the idea while watching a fashion show on television. Some of Mr. Feinberg"s friends said they envied his courage but thought planning a secret wedding rather stressful. Several women told him they would kill their boyfriends if greeted by a surprise ceremony.
"Yvette likes surprises," Mr. Feinberg said. "She"s the kind of person who loves it when someone asks their girlfriend to marry them on the Jumbotron at a hockey game."
The couple met in fall 2002 and started dating about six months later. "I probably asked her to marry me 60 times," said Mr. Feinberg, whose first marriage ended in divorce. "Initially it didn"t strike her that I was going to be the man she"d be with the rest of her life." At one point she agreed to live with him, but then broke it off altogether. "I just didn"t want to rush into anything," said Ms. Beauchamp, a veteran of two divorces.
But larger forces seemed to take hold. First Ms. Beauchamp discovered she was pregnant. At that, the couple reunited. Eight months later she surprised Mr. Feinberg again with a cardboard sign on which she had written "Will you marry us?"
"I said "absolutely," " Mr. Feinberg recalled.
Their daughter, Sydney Marie, was born a year ago, and in December the family moved into a house by the water in St. Petersburg, Fla. - whereupon Ms. Beauchamp discovered she was pregnant again.
By then Mr. Feinberg"s secret plan was unfolding, so when Ms. Beauchamp asked about setting a date he was evasive. Finally he agreed to a March ceremony in their yard, and then took her to Tampa, where they applied for a wedding license.
Mr. Feinberg had meanwhile enlisted Ms. Beauchamp"s best friend, Nora Guenther, who is also a model. Both knew that the fashion show had to appear genuine, so Ms. Guenther contacted the producers of a Learning Channel show that features weddings. Mr. Feinberg then persuaded the David"s Bridal store where he had bought the wedding gown to orchestrate a fashion show, with dresses on loan to other models.
Mr. Feinberg settled on the National Hotel in Miami for the event, and hired caterers and a makeup artist. He sealed the deal by asking a modeling agency in Orlando to "hire" Ms. Beauchamp. Then he quietly invited about 50 friends and relatives, including the bride"s father, Hector Beauchamp, who flew in from Honduras.
While guests gathered inside the hotel, the penthouse suite was transformed into a dressing area for Ms. Beauchamp and other models, who were really obliging friends of Ms. Guenther"s. The plot thickened when Ms. Beauchamp showed up with her own makeup artist, provoking whispered debate over whether she was in on the plan or just a diva.
At last, with guests in their seats, it was time for Ms. Beauchamp"s aha! moment. As she moved down the runway, she encountered a man facing away from her who looked to be posing as the father of the bride. She grabbed his arm from behind.
That man was no model, but she was halfway down the runway before she realized it was her father. "I was so focused on the show, and on what I was supposed to be doing," she said later.
Between screams she made her way to Mr. Feinberg and their daughter, gathered with Patrick Smith, the bridegroom"s best friend.
"We"re going to get married right now," Mr. Feinberg told Ms. Beauchamp, who seemed stunned and pleased as Mr. Smith, a Florida notary, officiated.
That night, the new Mrs. Feinberg grilled her husband until 3 a.m. "Once I knew, I started putting things together that people had said and done," she said. "All those lies!"
"I couldn"t have had a better wedding," she added, laughing. "But I told Ric I"m still waiting for my check for the fashion show."
