Reality television starlets Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have revealed that their super-secret wedding in Mexico last week was symbolic and not legally binding but they do plan to take care of the legal aspects once they return to the US.

“The Hills” couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt is currently vacationing in Mexico as husband and wife, after having spontaneously and discreetly married at the One & Only Palmilla Resort, just outside Cabo San Lucas last week. They invited no family and no friends and in fact did not even announce anyone they had plans to tie the knot. It was a surprise for them as well apparently, as Us Weekly, which reported their elopement, said the two decided to get married while enjoying margaritas on the beach.

They exchanged vows that same day. The specific words they lovingly murmured to each other, as well as photographs from the ceremony, details regarding their wedding rings and Heidi Montag’s dress, are featured in Us Weekly’s Wednesday edition, provided by the couple.

Pratt, 25, told the magazine they had a beautiful ceremony in Cabo San Lucas and have never been happier. The photographs were taken by a hotel photographer. Pratt added they would take care of the legal details once they returned to the US.

Liz Gateley, executive producer for MTV’s “The Hills,” told the network that the newlyweds would appear in upcoming episodes of the fifth season. Exclusive footage from the wedding is to be shared with viewers in a future episode, although it remained unclear whether the material was filmed by the show or obtained from another source.

Montag’s father was taken by surprise when People magazine contacted him and exclaimed that he had known nothing about a marriage but that another wedding would have to take place so friends and family can participate this time and rejoice in their nuptials.

Pratt and Montag, 22, have been a couple since 2006, with an occasional temporary break-up. Less than a year ago, in December 2007, Montag that she had broken off her engagement with Pratt. The separation was short-lived though. “The Hills” has generously chronicled their relationship and intends to continue this as the two have changed marital status.

Pratt and Montag, two of the most paparazzi-loving would-be celebrities ever to roam the Earth, are inseparable and always eager to show themselves to the world. The two frequently stage photo-shoots and bring their own props. Earlier this summer, Pratt directed Montag’s first video for the song “Higher.”

The newlyweds are to appear on an episode of CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” in January, for fans to enjoy and cynics to knock down.
