A long weekend to remember!
Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend of more than a year, Evan Ross, said “I do” on Sunday at the Greenwich, Connecticut, estate of the Hunger Games: Mockingjay actor’s iconic singer mother, Diana Ross.
The bride, who split from husband Pete Wentz, the father of her 5-year-old son, in 2011, donned a pearl-embellished wedding dress and $750,000 in Neil Lane jewels, according to Us Weekly.
The Simpson family’s little ones played an active role in the ceremony: The 29-year-old was escorted down the aisle by son Bronx, while sister Jessica’s daughter Maxwell, 2, and son Ace, 14 months, played flower girl and ring bearer.
The svelte fashion designer, 34, who wed longtime love Eric Johnson in July, served as matron of honor while the groom’s mother naturally performed at the ceremony.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the bride wanted a more low-key wedding than her sister’s lavish Montecito, California, nuptials. She did, however, have one big request that was ultimately granted.
“All she wants is Diana to sing at the wedding!” a source told RadarOnline.com in July.
The couple first stepped out together last summer and announced their engagement on Twitter in January.
“The love of my life said YES!!!!” Ross, 26, boasted to his followers.
