Eva Longoria's romantic weekend

Jun 27, 2007, 11:10 GMT

Eva Longoria and fiancé Tony Parker have enjoyed a romantic weekend in New York.

The couple, who are set to marry at French castle Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte on July 7, took a break from last-minute wedding preparations to watch the acclaimed Broadway musical 'Wicked' and have an intimate meal on Saturday (23.06.07).

Eva also managed to pick up some gifts at toy store FAO Schwarz and visit stylist Robert Verdi for a final wedding-dress fitting.

The 32-year-old brunette recently revealed she can't wait to show off her stunning bridal gown.

She joked: "I am going to sleep in the dress!"

French-born basketball star Tony plans to surprise his new wife by booking her favourite singers Lionel Richie and Jamie Foxx to perform at the ceremony.

Eva's 'Desperate Housewives' co-stars - Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Nicollette Sheridan - are expected to attend the nuptials, along with Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones.

The castle, just outside Paris, will close its grounds to the public for the first time ever and more than 2,000 candles will be lit throughout the estate as darkness falls.

A fountain show in the French style gardens is also planned.

Eva is due to begin filming the new series of 'Desperate Housewives' in Los Angeles just two days after the wedding.

Earlier this week, it was revealed the couple are reportedly set to receive more than $2 million from OK! magazine for exclusive coverage of the nuptials.
