Pastor Steve Schulte performed the 8-minute ceremony on Tuesday with only Mandy and Ryan inside the brick chapel.

I’m humbled by it,” the 24-year-old said. “If I were to dip my toe back in there, it would have to be the right situation… a great partnership that could represent a true reflection of me and my ideas and you know that wasn’t happening. So next go round, that needs to be top of the list.” Though it sounded from her comments that the clothing line was ending, Moore’s manager says she’s just “taking a break for a few seasons,” and not shutting it down completely.

But 24-year-old Mandy explained that while they’re both singers, Ryan’s closer to her age at 33.
Mandy’s mom better not make that mistake again if the Tennessean’s report in 2002 was true. The newspaper said Ryan went ballistic after a fan in the crowd jokingly shouted out a request for ‘Summer of ’69’. Ryan started spewing expletives and ordered the house lights be turned on. Ryan then asked the audience to point out the offender, pulled $30 of ticket refund money from his wallet and gave the money to the fan, ordered the fan to leave and said he would not play another note until the the guy left.
Mandy Moore checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@mandymoore) on Sunday (March 2) while touring in Australia. She writes:
Greetings from Dan Undah! Once again, I have to say this country blows me away in EVERY way. We just got to Adelaide after spending three full days in Perth. Amazing. We played two shows with Ben Lee opening for him before he took the stage in front of a 65-piece orchestra. Words can’t explain how brilliant he is and how genius the arrangements were of his songs. He had the crowds in the palm of his hands.
It was a bit awkward to step on stage here for the first time here in years - especially with my own music and (and no dancers that I’m sure a bulk of the audience might have been expecting!) We are touring barebones-style with just Loren on piano and Chaves on guitar. It’s actually really great sometimes to not have the pressure of the full band but I can’t wait to get back down here with the set-up we toured with in the States.
For the next week, we’ll be doing a short intimate set opening for Kelly Clarkson down here and then off to Manila to play one show there on the 12th.
Happy to come home after this trip and really dig into some film projects i’ve had my eyes on now that everything is back up in motion. I am so ready to get back to work in terms of writing my next record, recording some demos and hopefully locking in a compelling and challenging film project.
Hope you are all well and enjoying life. I’ll post some pics this week from down here. Hoping to see you all soon …
