Apparently for Pete Wentz, new love can make even the most mundane activities seem romantic.
The rocker hit the Target in West Hollywood for what appeared to be some shopping and a leisurely stroll through the aisles with his girlfriend Megan Camper. The couple, wearing almost identical outfits, with Wentz accenting his grey jeans and hoodie with a black baseball cap, wandered around together. Wentz leaned over as he pushed the shopping cart that Camper was gently guiding with one hand.
The twosome went largely unrecognized, laughing with each other and chatting over the cart as they slowly made their way up and down the aisles.
Meanwhile, Wentz's ex, Ashlee Simpson, was spending the day in New York, hanging out with her boyfriend Vincent Piazza and son Bronx. – Reagan Alexander

On Saturday, Simpson and her sister Ashlee were bridesmaids in the sunset wedding ceremony, which took place in the garden at the Parker Hotel.
According to an eyewitness, "Jessica was escorted down the aisle by a wedding coordinator so she wouldn't fall. It was difficult for her to get around, but she was a great sport and kept smiling. Everyone at the wedding was doting on Jessica and seemed very understanding. And Lauren seemed very happy that Jessica was able to be a part of her wedding. "
Also in the bridal party was Ashlee's 3-year-old son Bronx Wentz. "Bronx was the ring bearer," the eyewitness adds. "He broke down in tears several times, but Ashlee was great and kept making him smile again."
Other wedding guests included actors Adam Brody and Josh Schwartz, who were groomsmen, plus Simpson's best friend CaCee Cobb and her fiancé, Donald Faison. – Pernilla Cedenheim
