Even though Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson is a celebrity, it appears he doesn’t want a celeb-style wedding.

In a Tuesday e-mail, Johnson and his spouse-to-be, Michelle Rhee, told their friends and family Tuesday that they’re changing the date and location of their wedding to avoid hubbub.

Johnson and Washington, D.C., Schools Chancellor Rhee had set a Sept. 4 date to marry in Sacramento.

Johnson and Rhee’s e-mail does not provide the new date and location of their wedding.

“We underestimated the intensity of interest in the wedding and didn’t manage that well which was our responsibility,” the couple explained in the e-mail. “As a result, the wedding as planned for September 4th ended up not being what we wanted. Our hope is to have a special and personal event that is respectful of the sanctity of marriage. Therefore, we’ve decided on a smaller, more private affair with just immediate friends and family.”
