Wedding mess: Katie and Alex's vows do count.
Katie Price and Alex Reid have issued a statement after reports surfaced that their marriage was not legal. The couple were married at a private ceremony in Las Vegas in February.
Reports at the weekend claimed that Reverend Mose Henney, who officiated their wedding, was no longer a registered minister because of an alleged sex scandal at church in Wisconsin.
The News of the World had reported that all services carried out by Henney were not valid.
Price and Reid have denied this, insisting that their marriage has been verified by the County Clerk Marriage Services Division.
The statement reads: "Following the revelations in the press over the past couple of days regarding the validity of Katie and Alex's wedding, we would like to state that the marriage is 100% legitimate and legal.
"The Wynn where they married, and the Office of the County Clerk Marriage Services Division, have both confirmed that Reverend Mose Henney, who conducted the wedding ceremony, is legally authorised to perform marriage ceremonies."
It was claimed that Henney has been forced to resign as a minister after the 67-year-old admitted "inappropriate sexual contact, including sexual intercourse, with three adult women" at a church in Wisconsin eight years ago.
