Peaches Geldof marries Max Drummey
The 19-year-old DJ - the daughter of Bob Geldof - wed Max Drummey of US
indie band Chester French in a shock Las Vegas ceremony at the Little White
Wedding Chapel on August 5 after a whirlwind romance lasting only a month.
Critics have already suggested the nuptials are nothing more than a
publicity stunt to promote Chester French's new album, which is due out next
month.
Peaches and Max released a statement yesterday (12.08.08) saying: "The
couple tied the knot in a simple low-key ceremony in Las Vegas last week
whilst holidaying in America.
"Peaches and Max are delighted to announce their very happy marriage.
"Max's band, Chester French, played at the ITV iTunes festival in June,
where Peaches was a co-presenter of the show.
"The acclaimed new Boston band were signed by Pharrell Williams to his label
Star Track, a subsidiary of the giant Interscope Label."
Just last month, Peaches publicly declared her love for her boyfriend of the
time, Horrors frontman Faris Badwan, and even hinted the pair were
considering getting married.
A friend of Faris' said: "I spoke to him at the weekend and, as far as he
was concerned they were still together. Now, he doesn't know what's going
on."
Although none of the couple's friends and family attended the service,
Peaches informed her father Bob - who married Peaches' mother Paula Yates in
Las Vegas in 1986 - she was getting married shortly before the ceremony.
Last night (12.08.08) Bob would only say: "I am aware of the statement that
has been released and agree with its sentiments."
Reverend Stephen Fabretti, who conducted the nuptials, said: "They looked
very happy together. I remember the bride looked very young and pale and
quite angelic."
He added he thought it was "strange" that Max chose to wear sunglasses
throughout the ceremony.
Peaches is not the first star to marry in the Little White Wedding Chapel.
Britney Spears wed her school friend Jason Alexander there only for the
marriage to be annulled days later, while Demi Moore and Bruce Willis also
tied the knot at the chapel.
