Inside Katy Perry & Russell Brand's Wedding Weekend
Russell Brand and
Katy Perry are getting married this weekend at a luxury resort outside the Ranthambhore tiger sanctuary in the Indian state of Rajasthan, a local tour operator told the AP on Thursday.
The British comedian and American pop star arrived Wednesday at Mumbai airport to begin their six-day celebration, which begins Saturday with a Hindu wedding ceremony conducted by a local priest at the Sher Bagh resort.
"This would be a colorful Rajasthan wedding, and both Brand and Perry would be attired in Indian wedding attires," said Rajasthan Tours manager Mohan Singh, whose company is one of several involved in organizing the event.
Brand and Perry met at the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2009 and have made their affection for one another known with around-the-world PDA ever since.
Brand popped the question to Perry while the two were vacationing in India in December 2009, after dating for only four months.
Brand and Perry will be staying in a luxury tent at the Aman-i-Khas resort, just outside the sanctuary, with guests staying at the nearby Vanyavilas and Sher Bagh resorts, Singh said. Private security has already been stationed at the hotels.
Hoping to keep the event details secret, the couple had sent out wedding invitations saying simply that they were getting married in India and the celebrations would last for up to a week.
Katy Perry's Twitter page also contains a plea for privacy: "TWIT BREAK: Greatest gift you can give us is respect and love during this private time. No use wasting our time with STOLEN or FALSE info. Thank you for this."
The couple have given the exclusive coverage rights to a London magazine, and no other photographers or journalists will be allowed into the resort.
Guests, who also began arriving in India on Wednesday, are expected to include Barbadian pop singer Rihanna, the star of comedy show "Little Britain," David Walliams. Also likely to attend is TV presenter Jonathan Ross, whom Brand joined in the infamous prank phone call to actor Andrew Sachs to boast that he had slept with the actor's granddaughter.

I get tired of these celebrities whining about their privacy and hiding from photographers when they go so out of their way to have these big, lavish events in places so far away from home. Why is Katy hiding under that coat? We all know it is her. Yeesh.

So because they're famous they don't have a right to celebrate the way they want to? It's ok for a spoiled little rich girl to have her dream wedding, but not a celebrity?
I find Russell Brand to be just about the grossest man on earth. Katy, you're a dimwit to marry him. He's always going to be disgusting. He even LOOKS dirty.My boyfriend and i both think so ...He is almost 11year older than me .i met him via kissmilita ry.c 'oma nice place for s'ee'king Army, Navy, Mari'nes, Air Force, Police Force and their admires.just love it
I always wanted to know why do they even think we care? I don't care that they are getting married nor do I care where the nuptials are taking place. They probably gonna get divorced in 14 months anyways.

She's a pretty girl..what on earth does she see in him?? I guess the saying "Love is blind" really is true.

Probably the same things you see in whoever you love...why does everyone have to ask such dumb questions about people they've never met and don't know personally? Did anyone ask you all kinds of questions that weren't any of their damn business when you got together with someone? They're happy and that's all that matters, isn't it???
Katy! What are you thinking? Run from this man as FAST as you can!!

I agree. He's disgusting. Hindsight is truly 20/20.
