Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz Tie The Knot

US Magazine reports Ashlee Simpson, 23, and Pete Wentz, 28, marry in an intimate ceremony in the backyard of her parents' Encino California home Saturday, May, 17th 2008.

Around 150 guests gathered under white tents on the Simpson property to witness the non denominational ceremony which was officiated by Joe Simpson himself.  Some of the guests included Nicole Richie, who wore a long flowing purple dress, and Joel Madden. Inside the tents the decor was goth rocker: black rugs, white couches with red pillows, black chandeliers and lots of red roses.

The four months pregnant bride wore an ivory lace Monique Lhuillier dress and a diamond necklace with matching earrings by Neil Lane. Wentz wore a Dior Homme tuxedo. Wentz's English bulldog, Hemingway, was the ring-bearer.

At the request of Ashlee and Pete, all of the guests wore dark colors, such as blue, black or grey.

Big sis and maid of honor Jessica Simpson brought Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo Tony Romo as her date. On Friday, a source told US magazine that "Joe called Tony and asked him to show support for the wedding."  Romo arrived many hours ahead of anyone guests or family... Do we see an reconciliation here? hmmm....

I didn't know I'd be getting married right now, but I'm so happy to be!" she said. "I'm a lucky girl."

Wentz told US of marriage, "When you find someone you think is your soulmate, it's inevitable."

Ashlee Simpson, who is pregnant with the couple's first child, and Wentz, the bassist for Fall Out Boy, have been linked together since the fall of 2006.  This is their first marriage for both.
