Backstreet Boy AJ McLean Marries In Nostagic '90s Ceremony
Backstreet's Hitched Alright!
Over the weekend, Rochelle Karidis got to live the dream of millions of screaming teenage girls as she tied the knot with Backstreet Boy AJ McLean.
The wedding, which took place in Los Angeles on Saturday, was a star-studded affair attended by an array of '90s throwbacks, including New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre and BSB's Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and Nick Carter.

In true Hollywood fashion, Karidis walked down the aisle wearing a Vera Wang gown, while, to add a more unconventional twist, the Guns N' Roses' tune November Rain played. According to US Magazine, the couple then exchanged their vows under a tent in a rose-filled back garden at the Beverly Hills Hotel. After the intimate ceremony, it was on to the Crystal ballroom for dinner and dancing.

We imagine the wedding was absolutely stunning, not only because it was a long time in planning, but also because McLean has 'fessed to being a little bit of a groomzilla. Speaking to OK! in September last year, McLean revealed: “I am kind of the groomzilla actually. I am letting my fiancée deal with school and I am taking on the added pressure."
The couple first became engaged in January 2010, however, the nuptials have been postponed three times as McLean has been swinging in and out of rehab. With Karidis' help, it now seems as though he's back on track, and ready to settle into married life.

Preparing to start a brood of his own, the singer and Karidis moved from Hollywood to the Valley earlier this year in order "to raise a family," he said in the Spring. He wants it that way.
