Well it finally happened. For reasons that remain unclear to most of us, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz got married yesterday. Granted they seem like a cute enough couple when you look at them together. But when you think about each of them separately, you kind of think… why? At least I have, ever since Celebitchy pointed out how “special” Pete looks in this photo. Whenever I think of them working on wedding details or doing anything grownup and/or normal, I imagine that expression on Pete’s face and get the willies. But apparently that hasn’t occurred to Ashley, and/or she gets off on it. Because she just committed herself to spending the rest of her life with Pete.
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were married Saturday evening in an intimate ceremony, their spokesperson tells PEOPLE exclusively. “We’re delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends,” said the spokesperson.
Simpson, 23, wore an ivory lace wedding gown by Monique Lhuillier accessorized with a diamond necklace and earrings by Neil Lane as she and Wentz, 28, exchanged vows in front of 150 guests at her parents’ Los Angeles area home.
Dad Joe Simpson performed the non-denominational ceremony, while sister Jessica served as maid of honor. Wentz’s English bulldog, Hemingway, was the ring-bearer. Guests included Jessica’s boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, as well as actor Donald Faison with girlfriend CaCee Cobb.

Ashlee’s wedding theme was Alice in Wonderland. Nope, I’m not being sarcastic. It actually sounds pretty cool, if you’re into kooky wedding themes. If nothing else, it sounds like it certainly stands out against all the other weddings out there.
With the help of wedding planner Mindy Weiss, Simpson got her dream nuptials: The Alice in Wonderland themed reception featured a wedding cake by Sam Godfrey of Perfect Endings with a top hat, tea pot, stop watch and a pot of flowers on top. The elaborate centerpieces of black beauty roses were by Mark’s Garden. Guests were served Rose Veuve Clicquot champagne followed by a sit-down dinner and dancing to a DJ.

People also states that Ashlee is pregnant as though it’s been confirmed. They don’t say “rumored” or anything like that, just “Simpson, who is pregnant with the couple’s first child,” and then gives some biographical information on the couple. Which makes you wonder, because People is generally very accurate, and doesn’t print speculation.
Tony Romo did attend the wedding. He and Jessica were spotted having lunch together at Katsuya on Friday, causing speculation that there were either back together or had never broken up. However several of Tony’s friends insist that he did dump Jessica. And depending on which magazine you read, Simpson’s reps are either refusing to comment or denying that there was ever a split. Supposedly Joe Simpson had begged Tony to attend the wedding. Who the hell knows why he was really there.
Anyway, congrats to the happy couple. I hope Pete makes this expression every night in bed for the rest of your life Ashlee.
Here are some aerial shots of preparation for Ashlee and Pete’s wedding at Ashlee’s parent’s home. Images thanks to Splash.
I always felt that Ashlee was a Gwen Stefani wannabe.
The discotetris pop music she has tried to make, the rock album and rock lover (now hubby apparently)…
But an Alice In Wonderland wedding? That smells, once again, so much Gwen Stefani alike.
One can only hope the DJ played “What You Waiting For?” (which had a clip featuring a modern Alice In Wonderland version).
Great photos! I’ve been on the edge of my chair wondering what this wedding’s wait staff and delivery trucks would look like…..
Good riddance. At least for a little while, we can stop having all these speculations going on, they were beginning to seriously get on my nerves.
Let’s hope this marriage lasts forever and ever, I don’t feel like seeing all the divorce speculations and reports (although the pregnancy ones will inevitably continue). I don’t really read them (except for this one *lol*) but I just find it annoying that they take up space at all, these two untalented airheads.
Btw, how much do we bet she is already pregnant and that’s why she got married so weirdly and fast? That would smack of Papa Joe all the way, wouldn’t it?
Pete seems so down with letting Papa Joe boss him around, including letting him officiate the wedding, hold the bachelor party, make them get married at his property, etc.
I think they both have tons of negative publicity in common, that may be what brought them together. Pete with his sex tape and nude photos, and Ashlee with her lip syncing and plastic surgery. They’re both publicity whores (Pete’s not even the frontman of his band, can you even name the frontman?) and I think they’re perfect for each other. Until their respective giant egos get the best of them.
Uhm Wentz is 28?? I guess you are never too old to be a tool.
Ashlee has officially revealed her pregnancy to everyone at her wedding reception, reports OK magazine.
So this might be the reason for the quick wedding. I do not know why I cared to know that imformation. lol
they both look really simple. i doubt their combined IQs are higher than 120.
Who gives a fuck about the two of these low rent losers? So they got hitched? Is that such a big shock? It is all that we have been hearing about for a couple of weeks now. I pray that now that they are married, they will just faaaade away!
I always thought the point of a shotgun wedding was to pretend you got pregnant on the honeymoon. Dumbasses.
Now the whole world knows you only got married because you are fertile. Genius.
I won’t believe Petey is capable of impregnating anyone, until Ashley gives birth to what I have to believe, will be “the chin”.
YYAAWWNN.
Didn’t Jessica’s dumb friends throw an Alice in Wonderland 25th birthday party for her on Newlywankers?
Can you say “unoriginal”?
Did anyone from Pete’s family attend? It seems as though he’s simple been absorbed by the Simpson Sponge/Cult.
Low-rent is right. Also: irrelevant. What do they do again?
i think hes gay, look at the haircut
I had no idea my neighbors backyard wedding was getting so much press. I loved it when the bride fell in the pool drunk and pregnant…oh wait this isn’t in West Virginia?
Um, why was Turk there? Faison and the Simpson fam seem like an odd mix.
I once saw a documentary of the dung beetle…it was more interesting than these two getting together…
They are dumb and they will have dumb kids.

Shakira Mebarak really owes me money.
Faison is with CaCee Cobb, Jessica Simpson’s BFF / former assistant.
Wow, 23 is SOOOO young. Didn’t she learn anything from her sister?
The really frightening thing here is that these two are being permitted to reproduce.
I guess babies are so trendy that even hipsters want them. How will she fit into her skinny jeans?
Does Hot Topic make maternity wear?
her daddy needs to back the hell out of her life and that doesnt look like it will happen anytime soon. especially whe petey doesnt look like a guy who really would stand up for himself at all.
joe was partially the reason that jess and nick split up. there is concerned parent and then there is overbearingly controlling parent.
i will give petey and ashlee 2 years and it will be all over.
