‘Girls Gone Wild’ Founder Joe Francis Ties the Knot

It was thought to be impossible but it’s true–’Girls Gone Wild‘ creator Joe Francis is no longer a single man. The founder of the controversial video empire traded vows this past weekend with his longtime girlfriend Christina McLarty, E!Online.com reports.

Francis and McLarty didn’t participate in a traditional wedding; instead they choose to have a civil union.

“We have chosen to have a civil domestic partnership because we don’t believe it’s appropriate to be married until our gay and lesbian friends are afforded the same rights as us to legally marry in the United States,” he told Page Six soon after getting engaged.

The couple’s ceremony took place at Francis’ beachfront mansion in Punta Mita, Mexico in front of 200 guests. Kevin Huvane, cochair of Hollywood talent agency CAA, officiated the union. The guest list included several Kardashian family members including Kris and Bruce Jenner and daughters Kylie and Kendall. Francis’ best man was reportedly Quincy Jones.

McLarty, an entertainment reporter, and Francis got engaged this past June while vacationing in St. Tropez.
