Brand, Perry wed at luxury wildlife resort in northwest India

Don't know much about either of them.... youngsters......
Feel sad for the girl, though... looks like a "good kid"....

RANTHAMBHORE NATIONAL PARK, India — Comedian Russell Brand and pop
star Katy Perry were married Saturday in northwestern India, the
couple confirmed in a statement.

A Christian minister and longtime friend of Perry's family performed a
"private and spiritual ceremony," which was attended by family members
and close friends, said the statement released by the couple's
representatives.

"The backdrop was the inspirational and majestic countryside of
Northern India," said the statement, which did not provide any further
details on the ceremony.

The wedding was held at the Aman-e-Khas luxury resort in a tiger
reserve in Ranthambhore National Park, a hotel official said on
condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Security has been stringent with private security guards stationed at
the resort and other nearby hotels where guests and the couple are
staying for the six-day wedding celebration.

The wedding venue was lit with lamps, colorful lights illuminated the
trees and flower garlands festooned the luxury tents at the resort,
the hotel official said.

On Friday, at a prenuptial celebration, Perry, like a typical Indian
bride, had henna designs applied on her palms and hands.

Meanwhile, a four-member committee had been set up to check noise
pollution from the wedding celebration and ensure that animals in the
wildlife reserve in India's Rajasthan state are not disturbed, said
Ravi Kumar, a district official.

Ranthambhore National Park is home to a host of wildlife species
including tigers, leopards, wild boars, hyenas and sloth bears.

The British comedian's wedding procession, accompanied by traditional
Indian musicians, made its way from Sher Bagh, another nearby luxury
resort, to the Aman-e-Khas retreat.

Brand proposed to the American pop singer, whose parents are Christian
pastors, in the historic Indian city of Jaipur over New Year's Eve,
and the couple decided to get married in India.

The 25-year-old Perry's single "California Gurls," from her second
album "Teenage Dream," was one of the top hits of the year.

Brand, 35, is known for his drug-addled past and hedonistic
tendencies, but says he has lived a sober life for the last few years.
He recently starred in the hit film comedy "Get Him to the Greek," and
is next set to star as Trinculo in Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and as
the title character in a remake of the 1981 Dudley Moore-Liza Minnelli
film "Arthur."
