Doug Hutchison and Courtney Alexis Stodden's May to December relationship has captivated the nation and RadarOnline.com has the exclusive marriage certificate from the newlywed's Las Vegas nuptials, proving that, despite speculation to the contrary, the young bride really is only 16.
The 51-year-old Green Mile star married his 16-year-old girlfriend in what has become the unexpected wedding of the year, and now we can reveal details on the bizarre union that the teenage singer's parents approved.
EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENT: Courtney And Doug’s Marriage License & Certificate
A model from the age of 12, curvaceous blonde bombshell Stodden looks far older than her years, prompting speculation that she's lied about her age but the exclusive documents proves she will be turning 17 on August 29.
The sexy singer is a queen of self-promotion and has already released three original songs called Crazy, Car Candy and We Are America, in which she wraps herself up in a stars and stripes flag.
Hutchison and Stodden were wed on May 20 at Chapel Of The Flowers in Las Vegas and officiated by Reverend Douglas Gilbert, with Courtney's mom Krista acting as a witness.
The teenage bride is originally from the small town of Ocean Shores, Washington, but the newly weds are going to be starting their lives together in Los Angeles, according to their P.O. Box mailing address on the marriage certificate.

More surprising than the 35-year age gap is the parents of the bride's delight at their new son-in-law.
“Every father can only pray to have such a man behind their daughter,” Courtney’s father Alex Stodden told RadarOnline.com. While mom Krista describes her as "a good Christian girl," and slams reports that her daughter is in any way surgically enhanced.
"She is a beautiful girl. She has real breasts, real lips, she's not plastic."
This is the third marriage for the actor, who has appeared in TV shows Lost, 24 and Lie To Me. He divorced his last wife Amanda in 2005 after just two years of marriage.
