Stacey Bendet and Eric Eisner June 3, 2008

To the great surprise of her friends, Stacey Bendet, the beautiful and very social designer of alice + olivia, tied the knot with her boyfriend Eric Eisner this past weekend. Film producer Eric, the son of former Walt Disney CEO Michael Eisner, proposed to Stacey on Valentine’s Day of this very year at the Hotel Bel-Air in a room filled to the brim with roses. Stacey and Eric are also expecting their first child and she is said to be fourth months pregnant now.

After a dinner with their families, the pair boarded a private Bombardier plane to the Caribbean island of Anguilla for their own private weekend, without their family or friends. The couple were married in an intimate ceremony on the beach by a local rabbi. Eric had on an untucked, white cotton shirt over his cargo shorts. Stacey, with her hair down, wore a two-piece dress made of cascading white satin ruffles; her floor-length skirt had over ten layers.

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Eisner!

Mazel tov!

5. sia - June 3, 2008

he’s not thaaaat bad for redhead guy. well the pregnancy came first then the wedding, no doubt. i hate the reverse way pr people always write these things! just own up to it, it’s not that bad.

Stacey lucked out, didn’t she? The son of a billionaire who is actually kind of cute, an island wedding (with no parents/friends no less) via private family jet, and he’s Jewish! Stacey is the daughter my mother wish she had! :-D Congrats to the new couple!

7. LizK - June 3, 2008

I love that he wore shorts on the beach to his wedding. I guess pants were unavailable. But of course she could muster up some lovely dress, and not just a bikini with a sarong.

8. stylista - June 3, 2008

stacey looks like a fairy/pixie and she is so petite next to her hubby. actually just bought an alice + olivia dress. congrats to the new couple! wish i could snag a billionaire too ~

9. Stacey - June 3, 2008

Does anyone know if the name Bendet/ or if she is Jewish? Or did she convert (like all non-Jewish brides… ad nauseum).
Did anyone see her on Fashionista Diaries last year? She was so odd.

10. Easthampton - June 3, 2008

Stacey is Jewish. If I remember correctly, her full name is Stacey Bendet Weiner actually. Stacey and Eric make a cute couple. Congrats to them and best of luck on their marriage!

Everyone is wishing them congratulations - well I don’t know them so I assume to wish well also; however I don’t know the least bit about her personality. Maybe people here know them better than I.
He’s not 1/2 bad for a redhead.

12. HHH - June 3, 2008

That sounds incredibly romantic. So nice that they wanted to be just with each other. Clearly, they don’t depend on other people to validate their relationship. I love it.

13. just a question... - June 3, 2008

Does he have a dip in his bottom lip?

14. b.SL - June 3, 2008

She’s VERY cute & pretty. Don’t know her, but if I ever get married- that’s how I wanna do it! Small & romantically, and on an island. MAYBE a few friends.

15. BM - June 3, 2008

Billionaire or not, nice guy or not. I couldn’t get past that face long enough to find out his name much less anything else, especially babymaking. Ew. She’s waaaayyyy too pretty for him. Gross.

And HHH, larger weddings aren’t about having others “validate” your relationship, it’s about celebrating your love with those you care about. People can get married however they want, but don’t put down the choice of having more than 2 people there.

16. Wilhelmina - June 3, 2008

Now THIS is how you do it. Weddings should only be about you two not you and everyone you’ve ever met in your life. Go Stacey! I love alice + olivia even more now. Congrats to the Eisners. :)

17. SF - June 3, 2008

Yuck.

18. june - June 3, 2008

oh whatever, get over it! a glamorous and talented fashion designer marries a rich and successful film producer and “billion-heir.” nothing wrong with that! mazel tov to the happy couple! may they have a long and prosperous marriage to one another.

19. GEM - June 3, 2008

He’s giving me a HELLBOYISH kind of vibe, but ahhhh I haven’t had my green tea yet so baby I’m being cranky. She is quite cute though:)

20. jm - June 3, 2008

What’s wrong with his lipppp??

21. lilac - June 3, 2008

BM- your comments about Eric contrast so exquisitely with your need to clarify the purpose of a wedding- “celebrating your love”
…interesting…

22. Amen - June 3, 2008

Well his dad is goofy looking too, whaddya expect ? Thank goodness Mickey & Minnie were not there.

At least he’s better looking than Harvey Weinstein !

23. joelle - June 3, 2008

24. calloway - June 3, 2008

Congratulations!

Stacey’s mother must be kvelling!!

25. Stephs - June 3, 2008

Ugliest couple ever worse that minnie mortimer husband. Do like the brand a and o

26. bo - June 3, 2008

why is stacey standing next to the guy from Mask?

27. Liv - June 3, 2008

Gifted and social fashion designer marries money bags billionaire. A classic New York fairytale! :) Even the writers of Walt Disney can’t writer a better storyline!

28. barbie - June 3, 2008

(all in good humor before the PC police attack my lovely mother!!) stacey’s very lucky to be the new mrs. eisner. does eric have any brothers? a girl can hope, right?

29. Chardonnay - June 3, 2008

Dude is hoooooomely.

30. Still A Lady - June 3, 2008

31. JESS - June 4, 2008

32. APRIL - June 4, 2008

33. VA - June 4, 2008

There simply is not enough money in the world to make up for that mug. UUUGGGHHH

I am heaving!!!

34. Virginian2 - June 4, 2008

There was a tv show on a long time ago about a half man/half lion (?) who lived underground in NY (?). He was always saving the woman (Linda Hamilton?) who lived in the apartment above him (?). (Sounds so ridiculous, I know). I’m a little fuzzy on the details but the point is this Eric Eisner looks just like the half man/half lion action (Ron Perlman?)

35. Virginian2 - June 4, 2008

Well, duh. I just looked him up. It is Ron Perlman; now he’s “Hellboy” which was mentioned above.

36. Hmm - June 4, 2008

I am not crazy about the cheesy necklace and the hair?

37. Hmm - June 4, 2008

Now I feel guilty for saying that. Good for them. It is nice that they were married before the baby was born rather than waiting.

38. christina - June 4, 2008

eric eisner looks like abramovich. atleast they have the same smile lol.

39. xtina in chi - June 4, 2008

She’s hot, him…. uh.

LOL@ rich people having to pound ugly rich people.

40. HM Alum - June 4, 2008

I googled Eric and in all the pictures he has a prominent lower lip.

41. Pumpkin - June 4, 2008

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

42. VA - June 4, 2008

He is not much to look at & is a sloppy dresser!
But I am sure he has the right accessories….

Black Am Ex- check
Gulf Stream - check
Penthouse - check
Hamptons pad check check

He’ll do!

43. Jenny - June 4, 2008

VA, not even a Gulf Stream but a Bombardier. Stacey has it made!!!

44. Texan - June 4, 2008

Stacey Weiner from Chappaqua and the son of the antichrist himself?

Mazel tov!

45. HaHaHa - June 4, 2008

He looks a little like he’s been out all night partying, in the pic above. Kind of scary. I’m not sure I’d trust him that much (based solely on the photo).

46. dab - June 4, 2008

he looks like a dufus

47. Chris787 - June 5, 2008

Virginian2 and bo you two made me laugh so hard.
