Britney Spears’ nuptials a work in progress

So, did she or didn’t?

Britney Spears most definitely got married last week, People magazine reports in its Oct. 4 issue filled with pictures of the pop star and her fiance, Kevin Federline.

What the couple didn’t do, according to the Los Angeles County registrar’s office, is file a marriage license after the ceremony.

No big deal, says a member of the singer’s camp who declined to be quoted by name. “They’re scheduled to file it next week,” she told the Associated Press on Wednesday.

Spears told People magazine essentially the same thing. “I know we’re not completely legal until we file the license, which we’ll do next week,” the 22-year-old pop star said. “But in a real sense, a spiritual sense, we’re married.”

Federline, 26, said the delay was caused when the couple moved their wedding date up to this past Saturday as word leaked out that they were planning to be married Oct. 16.

Moving the date up, he said, didn’t give lawyers time to finish their prenuptial agreement.
