After the ceremony the newly-weds headed back to the famous Planet Hollywood hotel where they are reportedly staying in a $10,000 a night penthouse honeymoon suit.
But in a step away from tradition, there was no media present at the nuptials, just a single film crew in attendance from Katie's reality show.
