“I now pronounce you husband and wife.” These are the words that Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross heard during their August 31st wedding. The ceremony was held at the Connecticut estate of the grooms famous mother, Diana Ross, who also served as the wedding planner, which has been confirmed by UsMagazine.com. Simpson was walked down the aisle by son Bronx, 5, who is fathered by her first husband, musician Pete Wentz. Simpson’s sister, Jessica, served as the Matron of Honor while her niece and nephew served as the flower girl and ring bearer. Cupid wishes them well on their new journey as a married couple!
What are some advantages of getting married at home?
Cupid’s Advice:
Getting married at one’s home may not be everyone’s piece of cake; some individuals want grand ballrooms for their guests to dance in, but for some getting married in one’s backyard may just be the trick. Here are some pieces of advice from Cupid when considering a wedding at your home:
1. Free venue: Weddings are not cheap and if you are able to host the ceremony and wedding at home, do it! It’s a great way to save money which you could then put back into the wedding in the form of favors or in more expensive food options.
