A rep for the couple released a statement saying: "The very private and spiritual ceremony, attended by the couples' closest family and friends was performed by a Christian minister and longtime friend of the Hudson Family. The backdrop was the inspirational and majestic countryside of Northern India."

Designer Karen Mathews filed papers recently in L.A. Small Claims Court -- obtained by TMZ -- claiming Stewart ordered $7,500 worth of custom threads for several events in 2007, including his wedding to model Penny Lancaster ... but never fully covered the damage.

Karen's rep tells TMZ, “The clothes were never payed for in full and [Rod] kept the rest of the clothes without ever returning what hadn’t been payed for" -- adding, Karen hasn't had a problem like this in 30 years ... which "speaks for itself.”

But Stewart's rep claims the singer is a victim of unintelligent design -- telling TMZ, "[Stewart's wedding suit] wasn't produced on time and was ill-fitting and totally unusable. He had to buy a proper suit at the last minute."

The portable latrines have actual porcelain toilets that flush, stereo music and hot running water -- oh yeah, and they're HUGE.

We're told Chelsea's getting between 4-6 trailers for the big day -- with a total cost of about $15,000.

TMZ has learned the couple has been shopping "multiple reality shows" around town -- some of the ideas involve the couple AND their two-year-old son, Tripp.

We're told the leading concept involves all three people -- and will focus on "parenting issues."

It's unclear if the show would be based in Alaska ... or if Bristol's mom, Sarah Palin, would be involved in some capacity.

Levi and Bristol's story is a tale of classic romance ... he knocks her up when she's 17, she has a kid (Tripp), they break up, they attack each other in the media, he poses for Playgirl, they attack each other in the media again ... and then they reconnect during custody negotiations about three months ago.

But the best part: The couple claims they didn't tell Bristol's mom -- Sarah Palin -- about the engagement first. Instead, they told Us Weekly ... and hoped that it was one of the "variety of sources" she reads.

Levi and Bristol claim they hope to get married in the next six weeks -- and due to Bristol's abstinence pledge, they won't be having sex again until after they say "I do."

As for the wedding -- they want to get married in Alaska ... and Bristol wants Levi to wear a camouflage vest.

TMZ has learned Hooman -- aka Nik Richie from "The Dirty" website -- and his wife have both filed applications in Arizona to change their names ... hoping to become Nik Lamas-Richie and Shayne Lamas-Richie.

But the best part -- in Nik's application, he documents several reasons for wanting to drop his given name, noting that he "can't even pronounce it" -- and adding, "People ask me if I am related to the Kardashians which is tacky."

TMZ has learned Gov. Bill Richardson personally performed the ceremony Tuesday at the Governor's mansion -- at the request of the happy couple.

A rep for the politician tells us it was "the first time that Governor Richardson has performed a wedding ceremony." So far, we're told, the reviews have been good.

Harrison and Calista had been dating for almost 8 years.

We got the tip from Lisa Stanley at K-Earth 101 in L.A. and just confirmed it ourselves.

We're told the couple was married in the Governor's mansion in Santa Fe. Their marriage license was filed Wednesday in the County Clerk's Office.

Harrison and Calista have been together for almost 8 years, and got engaged over Valentine's weekend in 2009.

Harrison is filming "Cowboys and Aliens" in New Mexico right now.

The engaged twosome hit up Koi in L.A. on Wednesday, where after they battled through the storm of camera flashes, they enjoyed their "first dinner outside the show."

As for those boozy, hot tub hoppin' pics of Vienna we posted yesterday -- she told us, "It's Spring Break and I was in college."

It all went down inside the Hard Rock Hotel Friday night -- AJ and his then girlfriend Rochelle Karidis were partying inside the Wasted Space nightclub, when he sprinted to the jewelry store inside the casino, picked out a ring, and ran back into club.

After a quickie wedding and a lengthy prenup battle, sources close to the situation tell TMZ the happy couple's marriage license was officially recorded in Orange County at the end of last month.

Now, just as a reminder ... according to the prenup, we're told Lamar's $33 million contract with the Lakers is off limits to Khloe -- but she'll get a lump annual sum plus a number of other perks.

Not that we don't think they'll last or anything.

Mark Geragos, Nicole's lawyer, asked his client during the restraining order hearing this afternoon, "Did you call your husband?" Nicole answered, "Yes."

Joe Francis and Rob Kardashian's planned bash at Les Deux got the boot in favor of a dinner at STK and a little livin' it up at Guys and Dolls with his Lakers teammates. His two original party-planners also tagged along.

Chaz Bono can do something as a man which she could never do as a woman in California -- marry her partner.

At a point during the gender change -- typically when breasts are removed -- the subject can go to court and ask a judge to legally change his/her sex. It's discretionary on the part of the judge in determining when the person switches sex and is entitled to a legal change, but typically it's when the breasts are removed.

Judges typically do not require a genitalia switch as a prerequisite to a sex change.

Chaz has been in a committed relationship for several years. Therefore, what Chaz could never do now -- marry his partner -- he can do when the law acknowledges he is indeed a he.

Exact same person -- totally different result. Go figure.
