Ex-Tiger mistress weds in Las Vegas
Rachel Uchitel's two-year nightmare is over.
Tiger Woods' most famous mistress got married Sunday in Las Vegas.
The chapel wedding took place two years, almost to the day, after Woods' last outing in Sin City before his world -- and reputation -- unraveled six weeks later. The golf great was spotted celebrating at Tao Las Vegas' star-studded four-year anniversary and Lavo's one-year anniversary.
Uchitel, a former host at Tao, was in Marbella, Spain, at the time, orchestrating some of Woods' activities.
Her decision to invite Las Vegas night-life regular Ashley Hollingsworth Samson to Marbella led to Samson's $25,000 paycheck from The National Enquirer for going public with Uchitel's romance with Woods.
Uchitel and boyfriend Matt Hahn, a former Penn State football player, got married on impulse Sunday while in town to attend the wedding of their friends.
The Uchitel-Hahn wedding took place at the Little White Chapel, where Britney Spears married childhood friend Jason Alexander over New Year's weekend in 2004. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore tied the knot there on Nov. 21, 1987.
Uchitel and Hahn, with 12 friends, danced into the chapel at 11 p.m. to Beyonce's hit "Single Ladies," according to TMZ.com. After the wedding, they departed to Katy Perry's "Waking Up in Vegas."
It was anything but an all-night celebration for the newlyweds. They were back at her grandmother's by midnight, according to TMZ.
