Jessica Simpson’s wedding: The first photos

AFTER four years (and two kids) together, Jessica Simpson and ex-NFL player Eric Johnson tied the knot in California over the weekend.

In the new issue out today, WHO magazine goes inside the wedding with over 30 exclusive photos of the ceremony, in which the pair sealed their love in front of 280 guests.

“It was amazing to be able to have our babies watch us say I do,” says Simpson, who wore a custom Carolina Herrera champagne gown to exchange traditional vows with her former pro gridiron player beau. “It’s a moment you can’t describe.”

The nuptials were on a grand scale: from the 18-piece orchestra that accompanied the bride’s entrance to her 12 bridesmaids and the glamorous woodland theme.

“I’ve waited a long time to find someone as wonderful as he is and I look forward to raising our children together,” Simpson tells WHO.

Indeed, the couple’s two children were involved in the ceremony at the exclusive San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito; two-year-old daughter Maxwell was on flower girl duties, while their 12-month-old son Ace acted as a ring bearer.

Also on hand were the couple’s closest family and friends, including the singer’s parents Joe and Tina Simpson, sister Ashlee Simpson and fiance Evan Ross, BFFs CaCee Cobb and celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves, and Jessica Alba and partner Cash Warren. (Ashlee Simpson and CaCee Cobb took on bridesmaid duties.)

This is the second marriage for both Johnson and Simpson — who wed Nick Lachey in 2002 before divorcing him four years later.
