Jamie Lynn Spears and her babydaddy/fiance Casey Aldridge are still together, despite reports to the contrary, and traveling with Britney’s Circus tour. OK! reports that they are the picture of loving devoted parents – but don’t expect them to get married anytime soon. Jamie Lynn has canceled the wedding, as she feels ‘no need for a ring and a piece of paper’.
While Casey tenderly held their 9-month-old daughter, Maddie Briann, Jamie Lynn loaded her diaper bags, toys and pink stroller into the minivan. Then the family took off on the four-hour drive back to their Mississippi home.
The young unmarried couple looked as connected as could be on their trip to cheer on Britney at her first show. But now Jamie Lynn – who was 16 when she shocked the world by telling OK! in December 2007 that she was expecting a child with her 18-year-old boyfriend – has decided not to walk down the aisle with him.
“The wedding’s off,” a source reveals to OK!. “They are still in love, living together and very happy, but they have no plans to get married. Jamie Lynn has everything she wants and feels no need for a ring and piece of paper.”
Adds another insider, “She and Casey have weathered a lot in their young relationship already and don’t need the pressure of making wedding plans.”
It was reported in January by In Touch that Jamie Lynn was rushing forward with her nuptials, picking out a dress, invitations and cake (although not a date). Maybe motherhood has shown Jamie Lynn that she and Casey are bonded together for life and don’t need to make it official.
Jamie Lynn is supposedly planning a country music album, and while she doesn’t have an album deal yet, perhaps she’s using her wedding as a business decision, planning on getting married close to when she releases her album. Or maybe she and Casey just aren’t getting along and she realizes it wouldn’t be a good idea to get married at this point.

I’m glad Jamie and Bristol realize they dont have to get married just because they got knocked up and having a kid doesnt mean they will live happily ever after. Casey and Levi seem very immature and not ready to become husbands.
@ GuyIncognito: EAT THEM!
Smart girl. Perhaps it wasn’t her idea to not get married but she’s done well by listening to whoever told her she shouldn’t. Give it a decade or so, grow up a bit and go from there.
@ Guy:
I misread that as *Cheetos Mountain*, and I can totally picture it.
It would be on the table where the croque em bouche might have gone.
She probably realized that her sisters train wreck of a marriage and her parents marriage didn’t work out so why tempt fate!! I think they’ll get married when it’s right for them.
mhm – I think you’re giving them TOO much credit!
She looks like that because IGA wouldn’t give her back the keg deposit for the reception.
I bet Lynne Spears is pissed. Why waste this opportunity for attention just because Jamie Lynn would rather spend her time keeping her current life together than plan a wedding?
I didn’t know Jamie Lynn could time travel! You might want to change the date to 11/8/08 not 09. 😉
I wonder if she has any talent she can capitalize on at some point. She is much more intriguing looking than her sister, not inherently trashy looking IMO. I don’t care one way or the other for her, but do hope things turn out OK for her.
does she have a lot of money? my bet was that not marrying would protect her money from him, esp. if they break up. he wouldn’t be able to file for spousal support or whatever. thought it might have been a decision aided by lawyers…
