IN the all's-well-that-ends-well department, Ana Maria Macedo -- who was stood up by her fiancé a year ago just two weeks before they were set to swap vows -- married him on Saturday, capping a three-day, fairy-tale wedding celebration.
Brazilian-born Ana Maria, a model and fashion designer, married Swedish financier Jon Jonsson at St. Bartholomew's Church in front of 200 jet-setting guests, including novelist Coerte Felske, restaurateur Vittorio Assaf and his Swedish wife, Charlotte, shipping heir Alexei Zoulas and his Brazilian wife, Priscilla, and Nicole Coste, the former flight attendant who has a son, Alexandre, 6, by Prince Albert of Monaco.
"If you were a wedding crasher," observed one guest with an eye for gorgeous Brazilian girls, "this was the wedding to crash."
It was an event that most of the guests thought would never happen after Jonsson got cold feet a year ago, in a replay of the "Sex and the City" movie, just before the lovebirds were planning to marry in Stockholm.
"I'm a real-life Carrie Bradshaw, jilted by my own Mr. Big," Ana Maria told Page Six Magazine a month later. The groom evidently freaked out as the guest list climbed from 80 to 250 and the bride-to-be planned increasingly lavish celebrations.
Not that she stinted with the New York version. The bride wore an Oscar de la Renta gown and borrowed Bulgari jewels, while the groom was suited by Tom Ford. The 10 bridesmaids wore Nicole Miller.
The fun started Thursday at Pink Elephant. On Friday, guests wore white for a cruise by the Statue of Liberty aboard the yacht Romantica with an after-party at Kiss & Fly. After the black-tie wedding on Saturday, Tavern on the Green turned into Carnival, with scantily clad samba dancers. Die-hard revelers finished off at the Griffin.
The happy bride, who lost her voice, whispered to Page Six, "There's no way to explain how wonderful it was." She and her groom leave today for Stockholm, then Ibiza for two weeks, and maybe St. Tropez.
