Newly married Ashlee Simpson is changing her name to Ashlee Wentz in honor of her husband, Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz.

“I think that that’s something that a woman should do when they’re marrying a man,” she tells PEOPLE. “It’s a tradition that I think is a great tradition.”

The singer, whose May 17 wedding featured an Alice in Wonderland-themed reception, says that privately she’ll go by Ashlee Wentz and professionally she’ll be Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.

Pete Wentz says he left the name change decision to his wife. “These decisions with Ashlee and her name are all completely up to Ashlee,” Wentz says. “I want her to do these kinds of things the way she wants to do them.”

Still, he admits, he was flattered. “Oh man, I was like upgrade me! You know what I’m saying? The Wentz family, our Christmas card just got upgraded!” he says. “It feels insane. It feels unreal.”

Wentz phoned in to Ryan Seacrest’s Los Angeles radio show on Tuesday to ‘reveal’ he and Simpson were lying low and recovering from their weekend wedding in their basement.

He said, “We’re in the basement on our honeymoon with these blow-up palm trees.”

Newlyweds Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson are ‘honeymooning’ in a secret basement location, in an effort to avoid the paparazzi.

The couple wed in Encino, California on Saturday and told friends and family they’d be heading off on vacation in a bid to “scramble” the media.

But instead, the couple is getting used to being Mr and Mrs. Wentz in Los Angeles.
Wentz reveals, “We’re in the basement of the house. We wanted everybody to think we were going on a honeymoon… We’ve got some blow-up palm trees down here… a little fake and bake tanning booth.

“It’s gonna look like we went on a private jet somewhere and we’re gonna save that $30,000. We’re eating DiGiorno’s pizza, getting into that tanning bed every once in a while, it’s great.”

Wentz and Simpson decided to try and fool everyone over their honeymoon when so many details of their wedding plans were leaked to the press.

The Fall Out Boy star says, “You can’t trust anyone; people were letting out all kinds of details – we had a plan that we wanted to do it in San Diego and it completely got out so we had to do it in the most secure place that we could do it.”
