It appears Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are rushing to the aisle and will tie the knot next week in California, according to Internet reports. The pair reportedly sent out invites to friends and family, urging them all to be ready for a big day on Saturday, May 17.

According to the website Hollyscoop.com, Wentz and Simpson are refusing to give too much away, keeping the site of the wedding a secret. An unnamed source told the website, “The location will not be revealed until the day of the wedding but guests are told it will be an hour drive from Los Angeles.”

The couple announced their engagement in early April through a post on their website, ending months of speculation that started on New Year Eve, when Ashlee was spotted wearing a diamond ring.

Simpson wrote a statement posted on FriendorEnemies.com, saying, “We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I, and we wanted our fans to be the first to know, because you guys are the best. Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all of your support and well wishes — it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and hear it straight from us.”

Simpson, 23, and Wentz, 28, have been together since late 2006. However, they did not go public within a few months into their relationship. Joe Simpson, Ashlee’s father, declared that the Fallout Boy band member Pete is “a good kid.”

A source close to Ashlee Simpson told People magazine in mid April that the singer is pregnant and plans to wed in May.
