Sexy top supermodel Gisele Bundchen for the second time charm late Saturday celebrated a new her recent marriage to American football star Tom Brady at a posh Costa Rican resort.
The celebrity couple, who secretly tied the knot February 26 in California, according to People magazine, enlisted a rigid security team to keep swarms of paparazzi at bay in this seaside resort where the Brazilian bombshell has a home, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from the capital San Jose.
The renewal of the nuptials capped a three-day celebration in Santa Teresa, where some 40 relatives and friends gathered in hotels and at the luxurious villa with Bundchen, 28, and Brady, 31, the New England Patriots quarterback who steered his team to three National Football League championships.
Among the guests, according to family friends, were Bundchen's five sisters and Brady's 18-month-old son from a previous relationship.
The sunset ceremony took place at Bundchen's luxurious villa fronting the Pacific ocean, built three years ago as a promised million-dollar gift by her then-boyfriend, the Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
When news of the celebrations leaked, boatloads of paparazzi and reporters Friday boarded the Puntarenas ferry for the Nicoya peninsula, from where Santa Teresa can be reached on foot.
An AFP photographer on Sunday accused a bodyguard of shooting out the rear window of his SUV outside the wedding soiree.
Yuri Cortez, who escaped injury during the incident but has filed a complaint with police and judicial authorities, stressed he never stepped on to the grounds of the venue but that a bodyguard grabbed him by the arm and demanded that he surrender his digital camera.
A Victoria's Secret lingerie girl, Bundchen was discovered at a McDonald's restaurant in her native Brazil. She was recently listed in US Forbes magazine as the world's top-paid supermodel.
Brady, the NFL's most valuable player in 2007, suffered a knee injury last year that could put his 2009 season with the Patriots in jeopardy.
