First Photos of Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz's Wedding and more…

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz exchanged vows in an intimate sunset wedding ceremony. The shotgun wedding 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 Pete Wentz’s English bulldog, Hemingway, was the ring-bearer. How cute… and freaky!!
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.” Allegedly Ashlee also revealed she and Pete were officially expecting a baby to the guests at the wedding reception.
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.

Life & Style got an exclusive on the wedding invitations and the gift box. That box had an “Alice in Wonderland” inspired cookie inside that read “Eat Me”. I wonder if that is actually eatable… oh that cookie is even more interesting than the actual wedding… :)
