Avril Lavigne Weds Sum41 Frontman Whibley - Pseudo-Punkers Weep
Published July 16, 2006
In an outstandingly generic match up of pop, punk, and triteness, Canadian pop-punk princess Avril Lavigne married boyfriend, pop-punk Sum41 singer Deryck Whibley, at private ceremony yesterday in Montecito, California.
Proving she's more priss than punk, Lavigne shed her "Sk8tr Boi" tie and wifebeater for a more Cinderella look in all white; and just to show that the punk nonsense was all an act, she marched down the aisle to the tried and true Mendelssohn march.
Not wanting to be too big of pussies, Whibley, 26, and Lavigne, 21, did bust out the Goo Goo Doll's "Iris" as their first dance "wedding" song.
Nothing says punk like the Goo Goo Dolls.
Avril, keenly aware of how the cheesy chintz and lace may affect her career, had this to say about her "white rose" and twee theme, "I might look like a tough chick –- and I am –- but I'm also a hopeless romantic inside."
Aren't they all - well, at least the fake punkers are.
The bantamweight couple has been dating since 2004 and were engaged last year in Venice.
Lavigne, recognizing the trappings of punk and the maturing process, has branched out into film, lending her voice talents to the movie Over the Hedge as Heather the possum. But, don't worry, she is currently working on her third album where her angst will most surely be riddled with themes of dirty socks not making into the hamper, and hubby staying out late with his friends and banging slutty groupies.
This development may give new meaning her songs "My (less than) Happy Ending," "Nobody's Home," "Fall to Pieces," and a new one possibly titled "Ch8ter Boi."
Seriously, as long as she doesn't puff up and start popping out little tattooed and pierced peepers, all will be right. Best of luck you two crazy kids.

"...We are in love, haven't you heard

Sum 41 i cannot stand, but Avril?!?! come on, Chris!
It's a toss-up of hate-filled loathing - but both are unmistakeably lame.
Nice article Dawn...
If those two are considered punk then Kenny Rogers must be Death-Metal!?!

marriage is a wonderful thing. They just want to show the world that they are really serious about their relationship.
Maybe you guys are just bitter. We'll i don't know why, maybe nobody wants to marry anyone of you. :) or maybe you just don't know the meaning of marriage. goodluck on your love life guys...if ever you have one. :)

what you all don't understand is that no matter how much you bash them or say that they suck, guess what? THEY'RE STILL FUCKING FAMOUS! There's nothing that any of you can do about it. Whether you want to accept it or not, they have talent. They make millions of dollars, finally made themmselves happy for the rest of their lives, and all you can do is sit on your asses and talk shit about them on your little computers. God people, get some fucking class.
Kelly, what you clearly don't understand is that it possible to be famous without having talent, nor does being rich make people happy. Finally, getting snotty in the comments space of a blog is hardly the definition of fucking class!
Avril z just the bomb! all a u guyz hatin on her should just f**k off! Deryck z definately ugly but he z Avrils Love n all ov us Avril fans should respect that! aNd To all 'em haterz... i only have 3 wadz 4 ya! "get a lyf!"

Great. Two people I hate beyond all recognition have combined their mediocrity.
