A week from now, Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria and NBA star Tony Parker will be wed at a 17th Century Castle south of Paris, and celebrity magazine OK! has just secured the rights to the couple’s much coveted nuptial photos.

According to the New York Post’s Page Six, executives at OK! are giving the couple a sum of $2 million in order to have exclusive coverage of the wedding, which will be held at the Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte on Saturday, July 7th. Among the reported wedding guests are Longoria’s Desperate Housewives co-stars, Michael Douglas and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jamie Foxx and Lionel Richie.

Sara Ivens, editor-in-chief of OK!, told Page Six that the magazine was “thrilled to negotiate the exclusive rights” to the photos. "Covering great moments with the celebrities that we love is what the magazine's all about," she said.

However, a representative for OK! did not confirm the amount the magazine is reportedly giving the soon-to-be wed couple, saying, “We don't release numbers."

Longoria’s representatives answered, “no comment” when asked about the report.

Longoria, who plays Gabrielle Marquez (formerly Solis) on Desperate Housewives, and Parker first announced their engagement late last year. Prior to becoming engaged, the couple had separated briefly due to conflicts caused by their demanding schedules.

During the June 18th edition of France’s Canal+ network’s Le Grand Journal, Parker, who is French-born, gave some details about the upcoming nuptials. He also denied reports that they will be honeymooning in Hotel George V and that a wedding cake worth $11,000 will be flown in from Los Angeles for the ceremony.

"You can't believe everything you read in the papers," Parker said, smiling.

The San Antonio Spurs point guard did say that after the wedding, he and Longoria “will stay in Paris for the honeymoon.” When asked if he, at a young age, could comprehend his successful career and upcoming marriage to Longoria, Parker replied, “It's like a dream. It's hard for me to realize what's happening. I think later on I'll be able to understand what's going on now."
