Katy Perry & Russell Brand Married In Traditional Indian Wedding

Singer Katy Perry and British comedian Russell Brand have finally tied the knot in a private traditional Indian ceremony at the luxury Aman-i-Khas resort in India on Saturday (October 23).

The couple said in a statement, "Russell Brand and Katy Perry are overjoyed to confirm that they were pronounced Mr. and Mrs. Brand on Saturday, October 23. The very private and spiritual ceremony, attended by the couples' closest family and friends was performed by a Christian minister and longtime friend of the Hudson Family. The backdrop was the inspirational and majestic countryside of Northern India."

The intimate ceremony was held near the tiger reserve in Ranthambhore National Park in Rajasthan, where Russell popped the question to Katy back in December of 2009.

Brand knows what's important about marriage and he recently told fans at a New York Times "TimesTalks" Q&A in NYC:

"We just love each other and we want to get married in front of our friends and family and keep it very normal. It ain't about selling the pictures, it ain't about doing no pre-nup, it's just a normal thing."

"I'm trying to preserve it, to keep it a beautiful thing," explained Brand, who first met Perry last year on the set of his comedy, Get Him to the Greek, in which Perry had a cameo that was cut. "I think people get the wrong idea on how we want the wedding to play out. Love between two people is the most spectacular, yet ordinary thing in the world."

A big Congratulations to the happy couple. Wishing good fun music together!
