QB Boller, beauty queen Prejean marry

Published Jul. 3, 2010 1:00 a.m. ET

Beauty queen Carrie Prejean and NFL quarterback Kyle Boller married in a lavish ceremony in San Diego Friday, E! Online reported.

The Oakland Raiders' Boller and Prejean wed at Capella Church, located inside the Grand Del Mar Hotel in the bride's California hometown, in a 25-minute ceremony surrounded by friends and family, the celebrity gossip website reported.

Boller, 29, and Prejean, 23, became engaged in February, and have been together since last July.

Former Miss California 2009, Prejean made headlines as a runner-up in the Miss USA 2009 pageant when she said she believed marriage should be between a man and woman when asked about same-sex marriage by pageant judge Perez Hilton, the openly gay celebrity blogger.

"I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman," Prejean said at the pageant in April 2009.

Hilton blasted Prejean calling her a "dumb b----" on his website and saying "she gave an awful, awful answer that alienated so many people."

Donald Trump, Miss USA owner, defended Prejean's right to free speech and said the question was "a bit unlucky."

In June, Prejean gained more attention after partially nude photographs of her appeared online, which she defended as legitimate modeling shots. Trump deemed the photos as "fine" and "in some cases ... lovely," TMZ reported.

Prejean ultimately lost her Miss California USA 2009 title because of "breach of contract."

"It has become abundantly clear that Carrie is unwilling to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together," Miss California USA Executive Director Keith Lewis said in a statement.

CNN reported that Prejean's title loss was fueled by the discovery of "an extremely graphic" sex tape that featured Prejean.

TMZ Managing Editor Harvey Levin described the Prejean sex tape as "too racy" to post on the celebrity news website. Levin said Prejean was alone in the video.
