ONE MORE TIME

By Rebecca Winters

When BRITNEY SPEARS got hitched in January, it was a quickie ceremony in Vegas that stunned her family and ended in annulment. After eight months of personal growth, Spears, 22, walked down the aisle again, on Sept. 18, in a quickie ceremony in Los Angeles that stunned her family and got hung up by a prenup. To evade paparazzi, she exchanged vows with backup dancer KEVIN FEDERLINE, 26, at what was to have been their engagement bash, a month before the planned nuptials. "I was like, 'What are we waiting for?'" Spears told PEOPLE. But when they said I do, one detail was amiss. Lawyers advised the couple, who opted for a prenup agreement and signed a marriage license, to wait a grace period after inking the prenup. They have not filed the signed license, which, Federline told PEOPLE, they'll do this week. So, Mama Spears, there's still time for intervention.
