Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell tied the knot with girlfriend Leighanne Wallace during a traditional candlelit ceremony held at the Peachtree Christian Church in Atlanta on Saturday, September 2. According to a report in "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution," Wallace wore a gown by noted bridal designer Vera Wang, while the groom and his entourage wore charcoal gray suits and top hats. The paper reports that 300 guests, including all four Backstreet bandmates, attended the 35-minute media- and fan-free service, which was followed by a reception held on a reserved floor of the local Four Seasons Hotel. In a move that branded it a celebrity wedding, guests coming off the elevator were greeted by a sign that read "No photographs, no autographs." Kentucky native Littrell, 25, met Georgia native Wallace, 31, in 1997 when she appeared in the BSB video "As Long As You Love Me." Wallace has also had small roles in the film "Wild America," TV's "Silk Stalkings" and "One Life To Live," and the video "Here's A Quarter" by fellow Georgian Travis Tritt. Wallace and Littrell (not to mention their Chihuahua) recently finished filming "Olive Juice," an independent romantic comedy (see "Backstreet Boy Littrell Falls Victim To Dognapping"). Littrell has a cameo role as a cab driver in the flick, and a trailer is available for viewing on the movie's official Web site (www.olive-juice.com). According to a recent radio interview with the other married BSB, Kevin Richardson (see Backstreet Boy Richardson Gets Hitched"), the group is planning to tour again starting in late February. The third Backstreet Boys album is due in stores on November 21. Comment on this item. Next Item: Another Backstreet Wedding Prev Item: Backstreeter Brian Betrothed!
