LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Pop star Britney Spears married a childhood friend from Louisiana in an early morning ceremony, but quickly arranged to have it annulled, a source close to the singer told The Associated Press on Sunday.
George Maloof Jr., owner and operator of the Palms Casino Hotel, confirmed that the 22-year-old Spears married Jason Allen Alexander of Kentwood, La., about 5:30 a.m. Saturday at a Las Vegas wedding chapel.
"Nobody knew it was coming," said Maloof, Spears' good friend. The two arranged an annulment Saturday afternoon in the presence of several people, including a Las Vegas lawyer, said a source close to Spears who spoke on condition of anonymity. The signed annulment will be filed when the courts open Monday morning, the source said.
Calls to Spears' representatives were not immediately returned.
Spears and Alexander journeyed by limousine to the Little White Wedding Chapel on the Strip after a stop at the Ghostbar, a club in the Palms Casino Hotel. The chapel staff told the couple they couldn't get married without a license, so they were taken to get a license and driven back to the chapel, where they were married.
The bride wore a baseball cap and torn jeans down the aisle and was escorted by a Palms limousine driver, the source told the AP.
Maloof denied rumors that Spears was drunk and had to be carried out of the Rain nightclub inside the Palms on New Year's Eve.
"I was with her the whole night," he said. "None of those reports were accurate. She was just having a good time."
Spears was still staying at the Palms and was expected to leave Sunday. Employees at the chapel declined comment.
Alexander was back in his hometown Sunday, according to his grandfather, Robert Alexander.
"He'd been through a lot. We picked him up in New Orleans coming back and he didn't have much to say," the elder Alexander told Entertainment Tonight.
"I wish them well," he said. "Whatever happens, happens."
He said Spears and Alexander had also spent Christmas Eve together.
Calls to Alexander's family home in Kentwood, La. were answered by a machine. His grandmother said any details about the wedding would have to come from Jason or his father.
"We know about the wedding and stuff. It's all over the news," Betty Alexander said.
Spears released her fourth album, In the Zone, last November. It debuted at the top of the album charts. She begins a concert tour March 2 in San Diego.

Reads more like an episode of Friends and doesn't say that much for (their opinion of) the institution of marriage.

Has this girl lost her mind? I smell a "Behind the Music" being thrown together as we type.
Vegas huh? A place she'll end up one day. Career wise.

The childhood friend that she married had to be thinking:
"Plea$e get to 3 month$, plea$e get to 3 month$, plea$e God!"
I love Britney, she's hot and she's not rail thin. That's cool and a good image. But she just needs to stop making music and movies, and just be a celebrity.

Re: Britney Spears -- MARRIED!
The Return of Jason Alexander...no, not that one.
Somehow, Alexander was able to make it inside Britney's home, where he continued to live stream. He was eventually restrained outside.
TMZ has learned Jason's been booked for trespassing, vandalism and 2 batteries ... related to his physical altercations with Britney's security. We're told he also has felony warrant for larceny in another county, and he remains in custody.

Jason went live on Instagram Thursday as he approached event security -- telling him Britney had invited him -- and that she was his first and only wife, and he was going to crash the event before some kind of physical struggle.
