After three years of courtship, publicity stunts and whoring themselves to any celeb gossip magazine willing to pay, Heidi Montag is officially Mrs. Spencer Pratt.
The Hills' infamous couple got married - for real this time - in a sunset ceremony at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, Calif., on Saturday.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, 22 and 25 respectively, exchanged their cue cards vows before 200 guests, including Hills co-stars Audrina Patridge, Justin-Bobby, Lo Bosworth and Brody Jenner, Kristin Cavallari, and Frankie Delgado.
Heidi's estranged former BFF, Lauren Conrad, had a change of heart and attended the festivities, but made a quick exit from the church following the ceremony.
The wedding party comprised Heidi's sister Holly Montag and Spencer's sis, Stephanie Pratt, both of whom were dressed in matching floor-length, yellow, silk chiffon gowns, while the groom was joined by two nonceleb friends.
Despite "security concerns," everything seems to have gone well:
The plastic bride wore over $1 million in jewels from designer Neil Lane, including a pear-shaped diamond floral necklace with multiple diamond chains layered over it, diamond earrings and diamond hairpins.
The groom borrowed a pair of diamond cufflinks from the jeweler for the big day and even shaved for the occasion. They arrived in a white Rolls Royce Phantom.
Before the ceremony, which was of course captured by MTV cameras, a plane flew overhead and wrote "Spencer loves Heidi" in the sky (see photo after the jump).
Pratt pointed out the planes which were now going to write "Heidi's No. 1 Hit on iTunes." Hey, nothing wrong with a shameless plug, even on your wedding day.
Spencer Pratt looked dapper in a black suit, smiling and signing autographs for fans outside the church as Montag posted updates on Twitter throughout the day.
"This is going to be the best day of my life," she wrote. "Thank you God for Spencer." She also described her wedding dress as "amazing - like a swan princess."
After the ceremony, The Hills duo kissed on the church steps. Guests threw rose petals at the couple, who left for the reception in black Rolls Royce Phantom.
Love was in the air after they exchanged vows, as Jenner and girlfriend Jayde Nicole kissed and huddled close to keep warm and Bobby and Patridge seemed happy to see each other, passing the time while laughing together.
The night before the ceremony, the gruesome twosome held a rehearsal dinner at Wolfgang Puck's posh Beverly Hills restaurant Cut.
The dinner included about 40 guests - and camera crews, which filmed the evening's events, including the couple's heartfelt toasts.
The wedding comes five months after the pair flew to Mexico for an impromptu ceremony. The Mexican celebration, which Pratt described at the time as having "margaritas, sunsets and beautiful settings," did not include family and friends.
The original Spencer and Heidi wedding was misleadingly implied to be real, though it was not official in any way, shape or form. This one theoretically is.
So congratulations to the couple that has given us so much over the years. We look forward to many more years of their love and reality TV antics.
The word is out: Spencer loves Heidi. And fame.

Rumoured to be in pre-production in San Francisco
Blowing Smoke: the movie
The story follows protagonist Mick Maylor, a lobbyist for the dreaded Old King Coal, through run-ins with kidnappers, confrontations with Bono, and a barrage of extremely humorous sexual exploits. Maylor is on a quest to prove to his boss, G.W., that he is worth the money they are paying him to lie and finesse the public into thinking climate change and global warming are not dangerous. Mick defends his amoral character in the role of the mouth of the merchant of death by claiming he is doing all of this to pay the mortgage and send his son through one of Washington's most elite private schools (St. Organicus). As the plot twists and turns, we find room in our sympathetic hearts for Mick, and he quickly turns from antagonist to protagonist. We see a man, who like most Americans, is doing his job and trying to make a living. In fact his only real obstacle is the moral strain his position is imparting on him lately. As the plot elevates and Maylor faces more and more heated public ignominy we actually feel sorry for him. Nick associates himself with a spokesman for the NRA, a spokeswoman for the Alcohol industry, and "Deep Throat" a GOP hard liner, whose face is never quite revealed. They are known cynically to each other as the M.O.M. squad (Merchants of Masses - sort of like a Dead Poets society whose motto is, "the masses are asses."). Together they comfort and console each others wavering morals, battered and tired from tidal waves of public scorn. Finally Mick is undone by a journalist with "world class tits" who uncovers her way to an expose' on Mick, his evil ways, and the M.O.M. squad. The movie partially serves as a comic vehicle to follow the life of one of the country's most hated professionals, and partially as a flashlight to shine clearly upon the public's corruption by the Fossil Fuel Industry. There is a real message to be learned here about what goes on behind the scenes in giant corporations and political parties.
Working title - Blowing Smoke (or Thanks for the smoke stacks. )

Has anyone confirmed they actually got a marriage license this time? Who knows, maybe this one will be invalidated somehow and they can do it a third time later in the year! The weather is much nicer in the fall.

There must be a connection between them that we have not had the privilege of seeing on camera that has them tying the knot. All's well that ends well in celebrity marriages. Cheers to the bride and groom! *yuck!* *choking* LOL
