Ludacris weds after brief engagement

Rapper-actor Ludacris and his longtime girlfriend Eudoxie Mbouguiengue, to whom he proposed on Dec. 26, were married sometime between then and New Year's Day, People magazine reports. "Why wait? Did the thing before 2015. #mrandmrsrbridges," Ludacris, 37, born Christopher Brian Bridges, announced Tuesday in an Instagram image of himself and his new bride snuggling on a white couch with a Christmas tree in the background. He had proposed on an airplane, with "Eudoxie will you marry me" projected onto the ground below. The two have been together since 2009.
