>>>Sad, Stern had full control over her it seems.>>>

I think it's horrific!!! And he should be disbarred whereever he is a lawyer. He married his client in an intense state of grief (just lost her son) and that is crossing the line. And it's not like they have had an ongoing relationship, she was with Larry Birkhead by everyone's account. He got with her at a very bad spot in her life and now he is her 'heir'. He should be investigated fully!!!

I'm reading over on court tv message boards that Anna may have had a deep dark secret. Any speculations?

Anna, Lawyer Hold Commitment Ceremony

Anna Nicole Smith and her longtime lawyer and confidant, Howard K. Stern, held a commitment ceremony in the Bahamas Thursday, her attorney, Michael Scott, has confirmed.

"It was low-key, on a boat," a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. "It was a simple ceremony, exchanging vows."

According to a press release issued by TrimSpa, the diet-product company for which Smith is spokesperson, the couple, accompanied by a few friends and family and Smith's newborn daughter Dannielynn Hope, "made a commitment before God to be there for one another, to be each other's strength during this difficult time.

"Although the ceremony was officiated, it was not a wedding and no marriage certificate was issued."
