Amelia Vega & Al Horford Get Hitched In The Dominican Republic

By Michael Lopez

Taking a break from the NBA season, Atlanta Hawks star Al Horford whisked former Miss Universe, Amelia Vega, away to the Dominican Republic for a whirlwind Christmas wedding.

Held at the home of Amelia's famous uncle Juan Luis Guerra, the event featured close family, catered Dominican delicacies, and (of course) tons of great music from the Guerra household.

In the picture released to Fox News Latino, it’s clear that Vega was quite emotional when she said her "I do's." Interestingly, many in the media didn’t even know Amelia and Al were engaged. But witnesses at the ceremony told the press that both newlyweds were "glowing" throughout the night.

Unfortunately, the honeymoon may have to wait for these two. The Hawks are on their way to battle the Nets tonight in New Jersey and we get the feeling there will be a very happy Latina cheering on Atlanta in the stands.

Do you know anyone who got married on Christmas? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
