Hunter Reno, a model and host of “Exotic Islands” on the Travel Channel, married Peter Rabbino, co-founder of a Fort Lauderdale legal consulting firm, on Sunday.

The elder Reno, a Democratic candidate for governor, pronounced the couple husband and wife under a warm rain.

About 200 guests, dressed in white guayaberas and Hawaiian shirts, mingled among tiki torches at the Coral Gables reception.

As a Florida notary, Reno has the power to perform weddings. She remains close to her niece, who calls her Aunt Jannie.

Getting recognized

LONDON (AP) — Prince Charles has received an award for his watercolors at the Florence International Biennale Exhibition of Contemporary Art.

The heir to the British throne was honored for enriching the world’s most comprehensive exhibition of contemporary art by contributing 20 lithographs of watercolors depicting his country estates.

He is one of only three people to have received the City of Florence prize, which recognizes those who have made a special contribution to the “life and spirit” of the Biennale, which opened at Florence’s Fortezzo da Basso on Friday.

“By graciously contributing these lithographs he has shown his personal concern for contemporary artists, who of course, need all the recognition they can get,” Professor John Spike, exhibition director and a member of the judging panel of international art critics, said Monday.

Charles’ lithographs, which he sells for charity, are exhibited in their own area near the entrance to the show, which lasts until Sunday, and features 3,000 works from 52 countries.

Sneaking up

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Slinky singer Nikka Costa wants to creep up on you.

The daughter of Don Costa, one of Frank Sinatra’s favorite arrangers, is perfectly happy if not everyone is aware of her R&B-inflected funky music or her U.S. debut album, “Everybody Got Their Something.”

“I always wanted to build slowly,” said Costa, 29, in Friday’s editions of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The singer, who has opened for Erykah Badu, is preparing for a long-planned coast-to-coast headlining tour.

“I knew I wasn’t going to be the instant No. 1 chart-topping pop diva. I’d rather have a long career, and that’s why we’re putting so much into performing: I want to be able to tour whether I’m selling tons of records or not.”
