Pop star Katy Perry and comedian Russell Brand got married in a private ceremony in India. Perry and Brand were wedded by a Christian minister, although bride and the groom were dressed in traditional Indian attire.

Katy Perry met Russell Brand (Get Him to The Greeks, Despicable Me) met at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards where Brand was the host.

The wedding ceremony was celebrated at the Aman-e-Khas luxury resort outside the Ranthambhore tiger sanctuary. Brand proposed to Perry outside Taj Mahal in December last year.

A spokesman for Perry and Brand said:"The very private and spiritual ceremony, attended by the couple's closest family and friends, was performed by a Christian minister and long time friend of the Hudson (Perry) Family."

"The backdrop was the inspirational and majestic countryside of northern India"

Last Tuesday Perry posted on her Twitter account: "TWIT BREAK: Greatest gift you can give us is respect and love during this private time. No use wasting our time with STOLEN or FALSE info. Thank you for this."
