Jason Alexander, 40, pleaded no contest to the two misdemeanour counts in a California court.
The Ventura County judge sentenced him to the 64 days he has already served in jail.
Prosecutors dropped charges of felony stalking and misdemeanour vandalism.
Spears married longtime boyfriend Sam Asghari at her home in Thousand Oaks, California, on June 9, in front of several dozen guests including Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton and Madonna.
Alexander, a childhood friend of Spears to whom she was married for less than three days in 2004, appeared uninvited at the house before the ceremony while live-streaming on Instagram.
He got inside the house and up to the locked door of Spears' bedroom when she was inside getting ready for the wedding, according to testimony at a preliminary hearing.
Alexander refused to leave the property when asked, battered a security guard who tried to remove him, and damaged a door, prosecutors said.
After he entered his plea, a judge issued a new protective order forbidding him from coming within 100 metres of Spears or the security guard.
Alexander's attorney, Sandra Bisignani, did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment.
She said in court there was no evidence Alexander had any intention of harming Spears.
The singer's lawyer declined to comment.
