Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds tied the knot in Bora Bora on New Years Day. Not so fast, say island officials. Apparently, their laws state that you must be a resident of the region for at least 30 days before a marriage can legally be performed.

Crap! Maybe the couple knew this and just wanted to get married in a beautiful and remote destination. Could be that they plan to make it legal with a U.S. judge this week

Hopefully the 25 guest that showed up for the event knew that it wouldn’t be valid before they showered the newlyweds with lavish presents.
