LOS ANGELES (May 18) -- Don't be surprised to find Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz grinning like Cheshire cats -- they're newlyweds.

The pop-star little sis of Jessica Simpson and the Fall Out Boy bassist tied the knot Saturday night at her parents' Los Angeles-area home with an "Alice in Wonderland" theme, according to People magazine.

Watching Wentzlee

The first image from Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz's weekend wedding reveals two things: a dapper canine was involved and the singer's sister is still happily involved with football star Tony Romo.

Under the cover of large white tents at the Simpson family compound in Encino, Calif., Simpson and Wentz were married at sunset on Saturday.

After weeks of speculation, word that the pair would wed soon heated up on Thursday as Wentz was spotted at Mr. Chow in Los Angeles with his father and his future father-in-law, Joe Simpson, presumably for a bachelor party.

The couple announced their engagement on the Web site FriendsorEnemies.com on April 11. The only mystery surrounding the pair now is whether or not Ashlee is pregnant, a rumor that PEOPLE reported on Saturday was true.

Wentz and Simpson have been dating since 2006. Last year Wentz told PEOPLE, "We're past the honeymoon period. The truth is, it's crazy to be able to kiss your best friend. It's just a really awesome thing."

Simpson, 23, and Wentz, 28, exchanged vows at the property in Encino, a bedroom community in the San Fernando Valley. Joe Simpson, her father, performed the non-denominational ceremony and sister Jessica was the maid of honor, the magazine said.

People also reported Saturday that the couple is expecting a child together, which both Simpson and Wentz have long denied.

Rumors began to fly midweek that the wedding was on, and things got curiouser from there.

A flurry of arrangements on Saturday afternoon just outside the guarded gates of the Simpson's property indicated that the pop singer's wedding to Wentz was imminent. White shuttle vans with deeply tinted windows were streaming through the gates, as were several delivery vehicles.

Drivers of a few expensive cars who arrived at the guard tower were told to park elsewhere and take a shuttle. One was a well-dressed woman who arrived in an Audi packed with red boxes.

Fun Fact: They got married two days short of his 33rd birthday.

And of course, the paparazzi had been gathering before 3 p.m., lingering outside the property. Aerial photos posted online Friday on several celebrity Web sites appeared to show an outcropping of large white party tents.

Simpson and Wentz began dating in fall 2006 and announced their engagement April 9.

Ashlee Simpson's latest album, "Bittersweet World," was released last month. It peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 in its first week, and tracks have logged more than 19 million plays on her MySpace page.

Pete looks like Lacy Chabert from Party of Five or most recently Mean Girls. Does anyone else think so?
----------

I'll go ahead and agree with you on that one. To me they look more like brother and sister!! Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that these two were married by Joe Simpson???? Seems like that shouldn't be allowed. Too close for comfort.
