Former model Deborah Lin, 40, and Sopranos star James Gandolfini, 46, and got married on Saturday, August 30, in her hometown of Honolulu, Hawaii at Central Union Church. Deborah Lin wore a white gown made of Italian lace while her tuxedoed groom stood waiting as a harpist played the “Hawaiian Wedding Song” in the background. The pair exchanged vows in front of about 100 people, mostly close friends and family. After the 20 minute wedding ceremony, the newlyweds made their way in a white stretch limo to a nearby resort for an evening reception.
At the reception, the newlyweds sat at a raised table looking toward the 200 guests in the filled ballroom. The menu for the evening was a fusion of Chinese, Hawaiian, and Italian. Food at the reception included lobster, pork and seafood hors d’oeuvres (pupu in local Hawaiian lexicon). The sit-down dinner included Ahi tuna, Chinese roasted duck breast over angel hair pasta and steamed bok choy, broiled Mahi Mahi and filet mignon. The final course featured tiramisu and cannolis.
Lin and Gandolfini dated for about one year before becoming engaged in late 2007. They made their first public appearance as a couple on the red carpet in March 2007 for the New York City premiere of the second half of the final season of “The Sopranos.” The weekend marriage is the first for Lin and the second for Gandolfini.
