Britney Wedding a Fake?

Legal document lays out play for "faux" nuptials

September 22, 2004 12:00 AM ET
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are likely not married yet, according to the new issue of Us Weekly. The magazine obtained a four-page legal document signed by the couple stating that they "intend to participate in a 'faux' wedding on September 18, 2004; however, they do not intend to and shall not validly marry one another on said date."

According to the magazine, Spears and Federline not agreeing on the terms of a prenuptial agreement is what held up the couple from procuring a marriage license.

"This is all ludicrous," a spokesperson for Spears told Us. "They are happily married, and I have no reason to believe otherwise."

Spears and Federline celebrated what most thought was their wedding day late Saturday night/Sunday morning at the Studio City, California, home of wedding planners Alyson and Jeff Fox. Approximately twenty-five close friends and family members, including Spears' mother and sister, were in attendance.

Spears and Federline may be planning another wedding, or simply the paperwork: according to California state law, a couple may certify its nuptials retroactively.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
