A plan to "marry" statues of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was cancelled by organizers at Las Vegas's Madame Tussauds wax museum after one of Pitt's representatives called to complain.

Though the Hollywood couple is unmarried in real life, the museum had planned to bring the two stars together on Wednesday in a wedding scene to promote the unveiling of a statue of Jolie.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, seen here posing with Namibian first lady Penexupifo Pohamba in June 2006, remain one of the most talked about couples in Hollywood. A wax museum recently called off plans to hold a mock wedding for the two, using wax stand-ins.

That is, until Pitt's representatives heard about the plan.

"I personally found it a little odd that they were re-creating a wedding that never really happened," said Cindy Guagenti, Los Angeles-based spokeswoman for Pitt. "As Brad's representative, I found it disturbing."

Guagenti said Pitt, who is in Mumbai, India  with Jolie and their three children, was personally unaware of the museum's planned nuptials.

The actor recently told Esquire magazine he did not intend to marry Jolie until legal restrictions on same-sex marriage are removed in the U.S. and "everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."

Museum did not want to anger anyone

Museum general manager Adrian Jones said the decision to stop the ceremony was made in order to avoid angering the stars. "Since Madame Tussauds enjoys excellent relationships with the celebrity community, we made our own decision not to create the wedding scene," he said.

Jolie's wax statue was to join an already existing statue of Pitt in a ceremony that would have included wax figures of George Clooney as the best man and a who's-who of guests dead and alive, including Elvis, Liberace, John Wayne, Bugsy Siegel, Frank Sinatra, Ben Affleck and Luciano Pavarotti.

Madame Tussauds wax museum was started in London in the 19th century by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud. The museum now has branches in London, Amsterdam, Las Vegas, New York and Hong Kong.
