Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did not tie the knot in a New Orleans wedding chapel on Saturday, March 29, despite rumors to the contrary, the chapel's clergyman tells Life & Style.

"Brad and Angelina did not get married by us," the Rev. Tony Talavera, owner of the French Quarter Wedding chapel, explained.

Talavera said he normally doesn't reveal whether he did or didn't perform a ceremony at his kitschy wedding center 14 blocks from the Jolie-Pitt home.

But he spoke to Life & Style after Brad's people called him and asked him to "quash any misinformation that's out there."

"I have not met them personally," Rev. Talavera said of the high-wattage Hollywood couple. "This just got out of control."

"Their publicist asked me to give out a statement."

Talavera said he'd be happy to do the job for Brad and Angie in the future. "We extend the invitation. We're glad they are neighbors," he said.
