Ashlee Simpson marries rocker Pete Wentz

Singer Ashlee Simpson and rocker Pete Wentz have tied the knot, People magazine reported.

Joe Simpson performed the non-denominational ceremony for his daughter in front of about 150 guests at his home in Encino, California, the magazine said on its website, quoting a representative of the couple.

"We're delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends," the spokesperson told People.

Simpson, 23, wore an ivory lace wedding gown by Monique Lhuillier accessorised with a diamond necklace and earrings by Neil Lane.

Her older sister, singer and actress Jessica Simpson, acted as maid of honour.

Wentz's English bulldog, Hemingway, was the ring-bearer.

Guests included Jessica Simpson's boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, as well as actor Donald Faison with girlfriend CaCee Cobb.

Simpson and Wentz announced their engagement in April and have been romantically linked since 2006.

The marriage is the first for both.

Several media organisations have also reported that Simpson is pregnant, but Wentz has denied this.

Simpson, 23, released her third music album, Bittersweet World, in April.

Wentz, 28, co-founded Fall Out Boy in 2001. The band has since built a loyal following with albums like its popular 2005 release, From Under the Cork Tree.
