Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz tie the knot


Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz tied the knot in an intimate ceremony Saturday evening, their spokesperson told People.

The couple wed at the Encino home of the bride's parents, sources told E! News.

"We're delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends," the spokesperson said.

Simpson's father, Joe, performed the nondenominational 7 p.m. service. Among the 150 guests were the bride's sister and maid of honor Jessica, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden and Wentz's Fall Out Boy bandmates. Jessica Simpson took Tony Romo, although reports have stated that the two broke up.

The ring-bearer was Wentz's English bulldog, Hemingway.

The bride wore a Monique Lhuillier gown and Neil Lane jewelry, while the bridal party was dressed in Vera Wang.

A source told E! News that the wedding had a "goth-like" motif; many of the guests wore "black or very dark" clothing and female guests painted their nails black, resulting in a "very unwedding like" themed affair.

The reception reportedly had an Alice in Wonderland theme.

According to E! Online, guests parked in a nearby parking garage and were shuttled to the Simpson family home. Although large tents blocked the view, security was tight as helicopters with paparazzi flew above the compound.

The wedding festivities began on Thursday with bachelor and bachelorette parties, and on Friday there was a rehearsal dinner at Jessica Simpson's home.

It is the first marriage for both Simpson and Wentz, who are also expecting their first child, according to sources who spoke to E! News.
