Britney Spears Reportedly Marries in Nev.
Jan 4, 1:20 AM EST
Pop star Britney Spears marched down the aisle in Las Vegas on Saturday, marrying a childhood friend from Louisiana, according to news reports.

The 22-year-old diva married Jason Allen Alexander early Saturday at the Little White Wedding Chapel on the Strip, according to People.com, the online arm of the Time Warner publication. He is from Kentwood, La., it said.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on its Web site that Spears, 22, and Alexander, 22, were granted a marriage license, citing an affidavit of Application for Marriage License filed Jan. 3. A photo of the signed marriage license was obtained by The Associated Press.

Calls to Spears' representatives were not immediately returned.

The bride wore jeans and baseball cap, according to People.com, and had a hotel bellman walk her down the aisle.

People.com reported that Spears and Alexander journeyed to the Little White Wedding Chapel after a stop at the Ghostbar, a club in the Palms Casino Hotel. It reported that the chapel staff told the couple that they couldn't get married without a license, so they were reportedly taken by the limo to the Clark County Marriage Bureau office in the downtown Las Vegas courthouse. They applied for and were granted the marriage license, then driven back to the chapel, where they were married.

Spears released her fourth album "In the Zone" in November. It debuted at the top of the album charts. She begins a concert tour March 2 in San Diego.

"But before you make any plans to send wedding gifts, a source close to the pop star insists it was all a joke that went too far, and that Spears is already making plans to annul the marriage."

Looks like it's true, but she won't be married for long.

I told Joe that I would believe it when I see it......lol

Besides, I can't see Brit getting married in jeans and a ball cap.

I figured she would be wearing a lot less.

**lucy979** · 01-04-2004, 10:50 AM

Why would you even play a joke like that? I guess if your Britney Spears it is funny?!

**guest2** · 01-04-2004, 01:16 PM

I thinking Miss Britney must have had a bit much to drink before her nuptuals took place.

Unbelievable.

I've never been to Vegas, so I guess I just don't get it, but why is it that getting married in Vegas is a joke? To me, married is married and that's a serious thing. I guess I'm just too old fashioned.

Here is the article on her annulment. It say's she was "...stunned, but not drunk" when they married. (Was she high then?)

Britney Spears Marries Childhood Friend
Jan 4, 1:55 PM EST

Pop star Britney Spears married a childhood friend from Louisiana in an early morning ceremony, but quickly arranged to have it annulled, a source close to Spears told The Associated Press Sunday.

George Maloof Jr., owner and operator of the Palms Casino Hotel, confirmed that the 22-year-old singer married Jason Allen Alexander about 5:30 a.m. at a Las Vegas wedding chapel.

"Nobody knew it was coming," said Maloof, Spears' good friend.

A source speaking on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press that Spears was a "little stunned" about getting married to Alexander but was not drunk at the time.

The source said the two arranged an annulment Saturday afternoon in the presence of several people, including a Las Vegas lawyer.

The signed annulment will be official when the courts open Monday morning, the source said.

That's what I want to know. Apparently it doesn't mean much, after all she still married him.

I hope people everywhere that liked her, start to loose all respect for her. That is what she would deserve.

I'm also wondering what stunned means. I know I'll be watching Entertainment Tonight tomorrow evening to catch the latest.

I can't believe that I'm even interested in this story!! Kathryn - thanks for keeping us updated!!

**heavensent_7** · 01-04-2004, 06:38 PM

Our papers said that she was married, but not that she wasn't again!

Stunned

- Yeah I was stunned when I got married too but not the same day, it was about a year later when I realised what a

he was!

I can't believe I am either. It is pretty funny though. (I still say she was drunk, why else would she have it annulled so quick??) And who in there right (and sober) mind gets married at 5:30 in the morning?!

Anyway, here is the latest.....lol

Source: Britney to Annul Vegas Wedding
Jan 4, 7:43 PM EST

Pop star Britney Spears' first marriage will be remarkably brief — even by celebrity standards. The 22-year-old married Jason Allen Alexander, a childhood friend from Louisiana, about 5:30 a.m. Saturday at a Las Vegas wedding chapel.

The bride, wearing a baseball cap and torn jeans, was escorted down the aisle by a limousine driver, a source close to Spears told the Associated Press.

By that afternoon, the couple had arranged an annulment in the presence of several people, including a Las Vegas lawyer, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Spears and Alexander, of Kentwood, La., "took a joke too far by getting married," her record label, Jive Records, said in a statement released to "Entertainment Tonight."

"Ms. Spears and Mr. Alexander have filed for an annulment which will become official on Monday," read the statement by Sonia Muckle, Jive's vice president of publicity.

Spears and Alexander journeyed by limousine to the Little White Wedding Chapel on the Strip after a stop at the Ghostbar, a club in the Palms Casino Hotel, the source said. The chapel staff told the couple they couldn't get married without a license, so they were taken to get a license and driven back to the chapel, where they were married.

"Nobody knew it was coming," said George Maloof Jr., a friend of Spears and the owner and operator of the Palms Casino Hotel.

Maloof denied rumors that Spears was drunk and had to be carried out of the Rain nightclub inside the Palms on New Year's Eve.

"I was with her the whole night," he said. "None of those reports were accurate. She was just having a good time."

Spears was staying at the Palms but was expected to leave Sunday. Employees at the chapel declined comment.

Alexander was back in his hometown Sunday, according to his grandfather, Robert Alexander.

"He'd been through a lot. We picked him up in New Orleans coming back and he didn't have much to say," the elder Alexander told "Entertainment Tonight."

"I wish them well," he said. "Whatever happens, happens."

He said Spears and Alexander had also spent Christmas Eve together.

Calls to Alexander's family home in Kentwood were answered by a machine. His grandmother said any details about the wedding would have to come from Jason or his father.

"We know about the wedding and stuff. It's all over the news," Betty Alexander said.
