'It's a wonderful place to be': Tina Turner opens up about marriage after tying the knot with Erwin Bach in dramatic green and black gown
By JENNIFER RUBY (Reuters)


She tied the knot with her long-term love Erwin Bach at a private ceremony in Switzerland over the weekend.
And now Tina Turner has opened up about the wedding, for which she wore a green and black silk Armani gown with Swarovski crystals.
Describing marriage as 'a wonderful place to be', the 73-year-old music icon admitted that she wanted to put her own stamp on a traditional American ceremony. Her list of high profile guests included Oprah Winfrey, the world's richest celebrity, who suffered a seeming racist attack whilst shopping in a Swiss shop.

Tina admitted that she saw the gown on a catwalk in Beijing and decided that she had to have the eye-catching creation.

'I thought, 'I gotta have that, even if I never wear it'', she said. 'Then I thought, 'I know, that will be my wedding dress'.'


And while Tina made sure that all eyes were on her in the dramatic silk wedding dress, all the female guests wore white and the men wore black tie.

Describing the type of ceremony that they had, the practicing Buddhist said: 'The American tradition I grew up with, tailoring it a little bit to me.'

According to Swiss media, 120 guests were invited to the event at the couple's Swiss home, the Chateau Algonquin estate in the Kuesnacht municipality on last Sunday.

They also reportedly increased the security at their party by having wedding planners put up a red canvas screen at the foot of their garden, as well as police cordoning off the water outside their property.

However, police spokeswoman Esther Surber told AFP that the zone was cordoned off 'not because Tina Turner wants this (but) to avoid many boats' crowding near the manor in Kuesnacht, on Lake Zurich.

The couple, who have been together for 27 years after meeting at Heathrow airport, jetted off to Italy after the wedding for their honeymoon.

Tina Turner, the ageless Diva

Ageless Tina, a victim of domestic violence (when she was married to or living with Ike, her former manager later husband)! A presumed late comer to the showbiz world (was in her late forties when she hit the limelight) yet undeterred, she came, she saw, she conquered! Tina Turner is a living proof on how to become a 'True Legend'! Congrats to you Tina, you are 'Simply the BEST!'

Wishing dem all d best u can find love at any age. Just hope its not all dis their 2 months celebrity marriages

I remember the beating Ike turner gave Tina in the film...Even if it was just a movie, I really could feel her pains. It is nice to know that no matter how dark your past has been, you can begin anew. HML Tina.

Happy married life
