Surprise, surprise.
Was Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt shotgun wedding in Mexico nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt?
The AP certainly seems to think so.
Several Us Weekly images, both posed and candid, show the couple at various stages of a wedding ceremony at a chapel near Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on Nov. 20. The accompanying story features an interview with the pair, as well as details about the rings, Montag’s dress, and the content of their handwritten vows.
The story does not address whether they obtained a marriage license or took part in a separate civil ceremony, which is required by Mexican law to make the union binding.
Their publicist, Rick Rhodes, said he knew nothing about the marriage. “I’m not privy to any of that information,” Rhodes wrote in an e-mail. “If there was a wedding I wasn’t invited … Sorry!”
Us Weekly’s report, which was picked up by numerous celebrity magazines and blogs, said that none of the couple’s friends or relatives was in attendance. Some people close to the couple said they were caught off-guard.
“Everybody’s pretty upset,” Montag’s sister, Holly Montag, told MTV on Monday. Montag’s father, Bill Montag, told People magazine that he’d be dismayed if his daughter got married and didn’t invite him.
If the story were true, he added, “Then we just have to have another wedding here!”
What’s more? It was just announced the newlyweds’ romantic honeymoon in Mexico will be chronicled on The Hills.
“MTV is currently filming Heidi and Spencer in Mexico, as we were expecting to capture them on vacation,” Gateley says. “Fans will be able to see the exclusive footage from the ceremony in an upcoming episode, and we will continue to follow the newlyweds’ relationship as it plays out in real life.”
Your thoughts? Did Heidi and Spencer marry for love or for the love of the spotlight?
UPDATE: Pratt, still in Mexico, tells Us Weekly in a new interview: “Like other elopements that happen outside the country, we’ll take care of the legal details when we get home.”

Pure set-up no question about it!! Also, the Hills is pretty much over so these two idiots need to keep it going some how???
Who gives a SHIT? Fucking someone give me a truck to run these bitches over, I’m done playing!
they can’t DIE soon enough for me.
really? why i’m not surprised?
BejeeBus, i’ll race you. Because I would rather have the satisfaction of knowing that I ran them over and REVERSED!
I can see that i’m going to have to get a fast truck to beat out BejeeBus and Nola above because I want to run over them first…..
J-E-A-L-O-U-S- bitches!!!!!!
Boy they have so much dignity and class.
I’m sure they plan to make it legal. They are stupid enough to be serious about it. Just watching them break up and make up again a million times in the past year is enough to say that they are obviously not right for each other. He’s disrespectful towards her and her family and she knows it. I don’t know anyone but Heidi who would be stupid enough to marry that douchebag. I hope she comes to her senses and gets rid of him. Somewhere Lauren Conrad is laughing sooo hard right now….
Too bad it wasn’t THEM that was on that plane with Travis and AM. Just sayin’….
Actually they deserve each other. She has the longest face too.
