So the rumors of Bethanie Mattek's marriage to JPS Insurance President Justin Sands are true and you know what? Here are the pics to prove it! The marriage took place on Saturday, November 29, 2008 at Edgewater Beach Resort in Naples, FL . In typical style, B's wedding was far from traditional (I mean FAR) and it seems "zebra" was the theme of the day: she worked an all-black Romona Keveza wedding dress and Marciano zebra print stilettos and wore a 5.5 carat custom engagement ring paired with a wedding ring made from 3.5 carats of black + white diamonds resembling zebra stripes.

Here are two things I haven't written about in a while: Nicole Vaidisova + Reebok . Why you may ask? Well, Nicole had been on a 6-match losing streak and Reebok hasn't been worth writing about until now. The Czech finally broke the curse with a 6-1, 6-3 first round win over Frenchie veteran Natalie Dechy at Birmingham and won her next match against Ekaterina Makarova to to make the quarterfinals. But, alas, the good times weren't meant to last as Nicole was blasted today 6-3, 6-0 by fashionably crippled Bethanie Mattek working bebe . The 19-year looked great, though, in her white Reebok ...
