Ashlee Simpson And Pete Wentz In Fairy Tale Wedding
5/18/08
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz exchanged vows in an intimate wedding
ceremony on Saturday evening (17May08), their spokesperson has
confirmed.
The top-secret event was held at Simpson's parents' home in Encino,
California and was attended by 150 guests, including Nicole Richie and
Joel Madden, actor Donald Faison and the pop star's big sister Jessica,
who served as maid of honor.
Jessica's boyfriend, American footballer Tony Romo, was also present at
the ceremony, despite reports the couple has split. Ashlee wore an ivory
lace Monique Lhuillier gown, complete with a diamond necklace and
earrings by Neil Lane.
Father of the bride Joe Simpson, a former Baptist minister, performed
the non-denominational service, and Fall Out Boy bassist Wentz's English
bulldog, Hemingway, was the ring-bearer, reports People.com.
Confirming the reports on Saturday night, the couple's representative
says, "We're delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson
were married this evening in front of family and close friends."
The newlyweds celebrated their new status as husband and wife with an
Alice in Wonderland-themed reception, with black beauty roses by Mark's
Garden decorating each table. The wedding cake, by Sam Godfrey of
Perfect Endings, featured a top hat, a tea pot, a stop watch and a pot
of flowers on top.
The marriage comes amid rumors Ashlee is pregnant with the couple's
first child. Both stars have repeatedly dodged questions surrounding the
alleged pregnancy, refusing to confirm or deny the reports.
