Evan Ross and Ashlee Simpson wed in a ceremony at Diana Ross’ Greenwich, CT estate on Saturday. The couple, whose relationship came as a surprise to many last year, got engaged in January after courting for over a year.
“We just want to be married,” Ross said in an interview with E!. “We’re in love.” He continued, “This is the most incredible time I could ever think of in my life and I’m young, but the same time, I’ve lived a different life than most and I can’t think of a happier moment.”
The wedding bash began with a yacht party on Friday and culminated at Diana’s estate in Greenwich. Simpson’s son, Bronx, with former husband, Fallout Boy rocker Pete Wentz walked her down the aisle.
But for such a fairytale romance, few magazines were interested the couple’s wedding photos.

Simpson and Ross were reportedly expecting a hefty pay out for their wedding pics, in similar fashion to the seven-figure ducats sister Jessica Simpson and her ex-husband Nick Lachey received for their nuptial photos, or at least the $300,000 Jessica made off her most recent wedding. But alas, Ashlee and Evan just don’t have that kind of star power — and apparently neither does Supreme mother Diana.
The only outlet that expressed interest in purchasing the pics was People, which made it clear that an image of Simpson sisters was preferred over an image of the bride and groom. And they wouldn’t be a cover. Late in the afternoon on Labor Day, the Simpson clan released the non-exclusive images to any magazine or newspaper willing to pay.
Ashlee reportedly considered releasing the images via social media.
