Ashlee Simpson, 29, and Evan Ross, 26, got hitched at the Greenwich, Connecticut estate owned by his famous mother, #DianaRoss, on Sunday, August 31.
Although the rain delayed the start of the ceremony, Ashlee, her bridesmaids and her sister #JessicaSimpso, who was her matron of honor, all waited on the mansion's front steps for the rain to subside.

"They waited for the rain to stop, but it only added to the beauty of the property and ceremony," a source told PEOPLE
The couple had a Bohemian-style wedding but stuck to traditional vows during the ceremony, which Diana officiated. Ashlee wore a non-traditional gown which featured of a crop top, lace skirt and Neil Lane jewelry while Evan wore Dolce and Gabbana.
During the wedding the couple stuck to their family-first approach, Ashlee tapped son Bronx, 5, to walk her down the aisle. "Everyone was crying," the source says.
Jessica's kids, Maxwell, 2, and Ace, 1, served as flower girl and ring bearer, respectively while a choir sang "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."
Afterward, Evan’s mum, legendary singer, Diana Ross, serenaded them with her 1981 hit, "Endless Love."
"When Diana got up to sing at the reception, she surprised everyone, even her kids!" a source said. "She was the only one on the dance floor and everyone rushed to see her."
Their bohemian chic-themed reception was designed by wedding planner Mindy Weiss and featured dreamcatchers and vintage fabric covering the tent walls. Guests were served salad made up of burrata and mozzarella cheeses, prosciutto, grilled vegetables, garlic croutons and baby arugula, dressed with olive oil.
Later, the buffet-style dinner included sliced beef fillets, baked butternut squash polenta with smoked gouda cheese, chanterelle mushrooms, roasted cauliflower salad, Southern-style fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs with bacon, hush puppies and pasta.
The newlyweds wrapped up their wedding weekend on Monday with a big home style barbecue, also at Diana's home.
