Ashlee's Learned from Jessica's Mistakes

Unlike Jessica Simpson, now 25, who married Nick Lachey at the age of 21, little sis Ashlee wants to wait. Since watching her sister "go through a really hard time" she definitely is not thinking of tying the knot any time soon. According to her recent interview with Teen People, she is "absolutely in love" with her band mate and boyfriend Brazton Olita but wants to take things slow. She told the magazine that "there's a lot of growing up you do in your 20s, and I definitely want to wait until my late 20s or 30s or whenever the time is right."
