Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott

Not everyone is sending congratulatory wishes to Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott, who were married Sunday on a private tropical island in Fiji.

Dean McDermott’s ex-wife, Toronto TV personality Mary Jo Eustace, who was wed to the actor for 12 years and has a 7-year-old son and 10-month-old adopted daughter with him, is being very vocal about her disapproval of the union.

“It all could have been done so different,” Eustace tells Toronto’s Globe & Mail newspaper. “Right from the beginning, it was all about them. I confronted him once and said, ’Do you know how (all this publicity) makes me and my family feel? Do not do this.’ He was like, ’I did not even look at it that way.’”

Particularly upsetting to Eustace was the new groom’s comment to People at his wedding last weekend. He said: “I’ve never had as much of a desire to get married and make a woman my wife as I’ve had with her. The feeling is overwhelming. We’re soul mates.”

Eustace, 44, considers the remark to be “the final nail.”

Tori Spelling, 32, and McDermott, 39, met last summer in Ottawa while filming the TV movie Mind Over Murder. At the time, the former Beverly Hills 90210 star was wed to actor-writer Charlie Shanian, and McDermott was still with Eustace.

Eustace, referring to Brad Pitt’s relationship with Angelina Jolie, which started shortly after his split from Jennifer Aniston, says: “I have a great deal of empathy for Jennifer Aniston. She said I’m not going to be defined by this situation and this relationship. If you allow yourself to reside in that place, you won’t be able to function.”

Eustace does say that McDermott did let her know that he and Spelling were getting married, once she inquired after the fact. “Logistically, because I had to take care of my son, I asked him point-blank. I didn’t want any more surprises,” says Eustace, adding that her ex advised her of his upcoming tropical wedding two weeks ahead of time.

Eustace now is taking any lingering resentment and putting together a memoir. “The past year was a nightmare, but it was also funny,” she says. “I have to have a lot of humor about it. I have to embrace that side of it or I’d dis-empower myself.”

When news of the book was first reported, Spelling and McDermott told the New York Post: “It’s opportunistic and undignified that she would want to exploit her former marriage for monetary gain. We only wish her the very best.”

As for the contents of the prospective book, Eustace says that among other things, she’ll write about “the meltdown I had at the driver’s license bureau because I’d missed my appointment. I started to cry and told the guy my husband had left me for Tori Spelling. He let me take my test … So, see, it has an upside too.”

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott were married Sunday on a private tropical island in Fiji.

The non-denominational ceremony was attended only by the bride and groom, both barefoot and wearing white.

“We didn’t want to wait another day to get married,” Spelling said.

Adds her new husband, “I’ve never had as much of a desire to get married and make a woman my wife as I’ve had with her. The feeling is overwhelming. We’re soul mates.”

Spelling, 32, and McDermott, 39, met last summer in Ottowa while filming the TV movie Mind Over Murder. At the time, she was wed to actor-writer Charlie Shanian, and McDermott was married to his wife of 12 years, Mary Jo Eustace.

“It just happened,” a Spelling friend said about their romance. “No one meant any harm to anyone. You can’t help who you fall in love with and who you’re right with.”

In September, Spelling announced her split from Shanian, and McDermott filed for divorce from Eustace. Spelling’s divorce became final last month.

McDermott proposed to the So NoTORIous star on Christmas Eve in Toronto, Canada. His sister put out lights leading to a table for two surrounded by decorated Christmas trees. The couple rode up in a horse-drawn carriage, and McDermott presented Spelling with a diamond and sapphire ring.

“It was so magical. All the stars aligned. I have never been happier in my life,” McDermott said at the time.

McDermott has since shown his love for Spelling with tattoos, including one on his wrist that reads “Truly, Madly, Deeply, Tori” and another on his shoulder: a portrait of her.

I’ve got to wonder if Tori’s boob job influenced Dean’s feelings at all? The tatoo was probably recommended by Charlie Sheen, who recently got his Denise Richards tatoo removed from his wrist.
