Carlos Santana, 63, knows how to make any event, well, smooth. And his December 19 wedding was no exception. When rain threatened to mar his Maui nuptials to drummer Cindy Blackman, 51, the guitar legend who split with wife of 34 years, Deborah in 2007 opted for an indoor ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton. Santana and Blackman, who has worked with rocker Lenny Kravitz, swapped vows in front of 180 guests, including celeb pals George Lopez and Herbie Hancock. Post nuptials the twosome, who got engaged during a concert last July, enjoyed a honeymoon in Hawaii.

Four songs into his July 9 concert in Tinley Park, Ill., guitarist Carlos Santana, 62, popped the question to drummer Cindy Blackman as fans cheered on the newly engaged couple. Just before the proposal, Blackman who has recorded and toured with Lenny Kravitz in the past joined Santana for a drum solo on his hit Corazon Espinado. This will be Santana's second marriage; his wife of 34 years, Deborah, filed for divorce in 2007.
