The pair became famous when they tied the knot when she was just 16 and Hutchison was 51. "The couple who founded Hollywood, Harvey and Ida Wilcox, had over a 30 year age gap between them – just like Doug and me. We feel a connection to them," Stodden said.

However, her own mother, Krista Keller, told RadarOnline.com that after she found out her youngest daughter was pregnant via the media, she also was not informed about her vow renewal. "I'm happy that she did not need my signature this time," she joked. "I think it was a good idea that they did it the way they did it. She could do it on her own."
