The couple exchanged vows before a select few friends and family members in a forty minute ceremony held at their six star hotel villa overlooking the sea.

The presence of Miss Moss’s personal assistant perhaps to help plough through beaurocratic red tape – and Kate’s mother Linda and brother Nick being at the ceremony in Phuket – are being seen as an indication that a formal legally-binding ceremony took place.

After seeing in the New Year under a £100,000 fire works display alongside other hotel guests including the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, and her daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, the 32-year-old supermodel and Doherty, 27, retired to bed shortly before 1am, ahead of their big day.

Miss Moss is understood to have warned Doherty against late nights of drugs consumption in Thailand, where such behaviour can carry the death penalty.

Yesterday the pair were awoken with a room service breakfast before preparing, in different rooms, for the ceremony.

At 1.30pm Thai time – 6.30am UK time – the Babyshambles singer and Miss Moss exchanged vows in the picturesque private gardens of their five-bedroomed £4,500-per-night villa at the Amanpuri hotel.

Wearing a white Galliano shift dress and her blonde hair loose, Miss Moss looked on adoringly at her groom, who was dressed in an all-black linen suit and his trademark pork pie hat.

For the ceremony, the gardens and villa were decorated with flower petals, fragrant jasmine, orchids and a floral archway. White and pale pink lotus flowers decorated the pool.

With security at a maximum, staff guarded the perimeter of the villa, preventing any uninvited guests from wandering in.

UPDATE: I’m not really sure WHAT’S going on…Kate’s rep just releasesed a statement,

“Contrary to various entirely false media reports today, there has not been any kind of marriage ceremony in Thailand. She is on holiday,” her spokesman, Stuart Higgins, said in a statement Tuesday.

Pete Doherty smiled and hugged fans outside court Monday after a judge ruled he will not serve jail time for possession of drugs including heroin and crack cocaine.

District Judge Jane McIvor ordered the 27-year-old Babyshambles singer to pay $1,525 in fines and court costs and ordered him not to drive for four months. “I feel relieved,” Doherty told reporters outside Thames Magistrates’ Court in London.

The singer was arrested in April for possession of less than 2 grams each of heroin, cannabis and cocaine, just three hours after he was sentenced to two years of community service for previous drug offenses. The drugs were found in the vehicle he was in and at his home.

Doherty was arrested again Aug. 7 with a crack pipe and a small amount of crack cocaine, and pleaded guilty Aug. 18 to all five counts. “He’s not going to jail. It’s amazing,” said 16-year-old fan Georgina Raymond, who jumped up and down screaming into her cell phone, “I hugged him!”

In September, McIvor told Doherty he wouldn’t serve jail time for the charges if he continued rehabilitation, stayed employed and didn’t commit any other offenses. She also complimented him for his song “The Blinding.”

Doherty didn’t break any of the imposed restrictions, McIvor said. “Hitting your pocket is the way of punishing you in this case,” McIvor said Monday.

Doherty’s lawyer, Sean Curran, said there had been a “breakdown” in Doherty’s rehabilitation. Curran gave no details, but said he hoped Doherty would continue to make an effort to break his drug habit.

PETE Doherty has splashed out on a vintage Christian Dior “wedding dress” for his fiance Kate Moss… from a secondhand store. The befuddled Babyshambles frontman spent £120 on the outfit at a shop in North London. Pete, who lest us forget has a long history of drug abuse, is now hopeful that the world’s most famous supermodel – dubbed The Millionairess by his friends – will wear it when they wed at Marylebone Register Office. That’s despite the fact, of course, that Kate could have her pick of any garment in the world for her special day. I can also reveal that the couple – putting aside a brief bust-up during a visit to Kate’s countryside retreat in the Cotswolds – are more deeply in love than ever and have even co-written a love song. A friend said: “In typical Pete and Kate style, they still have their bust-ups – but there’s no doubt it’s full steam ahead for the wedding. And it seems like he’s set his heart on this dress for Kate to wear.” Pete – who was inter viewed and photographed by style-bible Vogue magazine last week – took a pal with him on his shopping trip. He found what he was looking for at second-hand store The Blue Carbuncle in his old stomping ground of Archway. An onlooker said: “Pete was immediately thrilled with the dress. He was saying how it would be perfect for Kate – and it certainly looked suitable for a cool wedding dress.”
