People Magazine tells the story of the non-legally binding “wedding” of Anna Nicole Smith and lawyer, Howard K. Stern:
In the early morning hours of Sept. 28 Anna Nicole Smith, her lawyer and confidant Howard K. Stern and a nanny clutching Smith’s 3-week-old daughter Dannielynn Hope slipped aboard the 41-ft. catamaran Margaritaville and pushed out to sea off the coast of the Bahamas’ Paradise Island. But this was no ordinary pleasure cruise. Later that day a Baptist minister and some of the couple’s close friends were ferried to a nearby island called Sandy Cay, where they met up with Smith, 38, and Stern, 37, before setting sail again on the catamaran. At around 3 p.m., Stern, in a black dress suit and white shirt, and Smith, holding a bouquet of red roses, exchanged vows and Bible verses – as well as temporary rings, because the real ones weren’t yet ready. After the ceremony “we all cheered and Anna wanted to jump into the ocean,” says John James, Smith’s friend and the former Dynasty actor. “But there were sharks out there, so we sped back to (Sandy Cay), and then Anna and Howard jumped in.”
Let’s just hope this is the beginning of more happy news for Anna and her family. Because all this depressing tragedy stuff is a bummer to try and make fun of.

Weirdo-rama. Her 20 year old son dies suddenly, and 3-4 weeks later she remarries? Laughing, smiling, what the hell? Color Anna & Howard K. inappropriate. They coulda waited, like, 5 more minutes or at least until after her son’s funeral. Eww, the whole thing is creepy.

Let He who is without sin cast the first stone… No one knows what was running through her head. (Was probably, “Hey, this one’s the money shot!”)
In my opinion, she was done the same as Marilyn Monroe. I also believe Stern was no where near being a confidante, more like a black mailing snake who’s responsibility was to contain her.
