How do you top a Sweet Sixteen party? With a wedding!
When 16-year-old pop singer Courtney Alexis Stodden decided to marry a man 35 years her senior, she needed permission from her parents - and she got it – gladly.

In fact, Courtney’s father, who at 47 is four years younger than his new son-in-law, even went so far as to tell RadarOnline.com that: “Every father can only pray to have such a man behind their daughter.”
In an exclusive interview, her father Alex Stodden (Courtney’s middle name is a tribute to her dad) told RadarOnline.com that she had his full approval to walk down the aisle.
“Courtney is one of the most level headed girls out there and I’m not just saying that because she’s my daughter. Doug is the nicest man I’ve ever met in my life,” Alex said of his 51-year-old son-in-law, who tied the knot with his daughter in Vegas on May 20.
Alex, and Courtney’s mother Krista Stodden are currently on their way to Los Angeles to spend time with the teenage bride, who is living with her husband Green Mile actor Doug Hutchison in the Hollywood Hills.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Courtney’s mother Krista also gives her seal of approval, saying she and her husband were “totally supportive of this marriage.”
Krista also said her daughter was a “good Christian girl,” who was a “virgin when she married Doug.” The proud mom also slammed reports that her daughter has had plastic surgery: "She is a beautiful girl. She has real breasts, real lips, she's not plastic."

Her dad does not seem to have good judgement. Fame and glamour are blinding. When you are in the world nothing right makes sense.

I think this guy has just been had, she doesn't look 16 at all. I also think if she IS 16, then the guy is a pedophile and her parents just sold her out! Sick!

It's unreal that a washed-up celebrity would be desperate enough to *pretend* to be a pedophile just to get some attention.

Oh, come ON, Radar! There's no way on the planet that woman is 16. She's more like 30. Surely you knew that before you posted this story. How about not treating your readers like idiots and instead finding out the truth of how old she is?

Not gonna be a pretty sight when he starts pooping in his pants and can't remember what day it is!

So what do you suppose they talk about? ... "So how do you like driving?" "So how's 11th grade?" "How was your spelling test in school today?"
This guy is a perv and her parents must be ignorant trash.

Checked out her website to see her pics & she looks waaaay older than 16! And "if" she is,why would her parents allow her to dress soo slutty?? Somethings fishy about this whole situation.....

C'mon guys...read the details. She was 15 in 2009 when she was in the Miss USA pageant. No way she's only 16 three years later!! It's in the details!!

while u cant put an age on love, this is WAY to young to marry in the 1st place. at 16 youve just started figuring out who u r, what u want to do w/ ur life. plenty of time for this later. if he really loved her, he should of waited for her
