Inside Katy Perry & Russell Brand's Wedding Weekend

By PopEater / Wire Services Posted Oct 21st 2010 12:00PM

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'm a celebrity and I want my privacy" - this doesn't work in today's society!!! Especially when everyone carries a phone that has picture/video capability... If they want their special wedding to be just that, then do not go into detail about it BEFORE it even happens.

Russell who? Katy who? Why even dignify this with more words? Need I say more?

"...their six-day celebration, which begins Saturday with a Hindu wedding ceremony conducted by a local priest at the Sher Bagh resort.

Until recently, with the hectic pressures of modern life, Hindu weddings -- the most important event in a person's life -- were known to go on for six to seven days or even longer...beginning and ending at astrologically predetermined times. Only outside of India would this be news.

(the matchmaking of the bride and groom would be astrologically determined, too, but that's another story...)

I give it less than 2 years.....

I thought she was a "CHRISTIAN"? That being the case the marriage will probably last one month for every day of the celebration. Total Time Married = 6 months by my math!

By liguy

Yuck! He's gross!

By WhoCares

If they want their privacy then rent out a Lear Jet!!! They obviously got the money to do so, ie., 6 day wedding! He looks like a serial rapist and she obviously is living in her 'La La Land'. What frickin' goof balls!

By MAGOOS

Multiply the six days by twenty and that will probably be as long as the marriage lasts.

By monica

They are both so gross. His off the Greek film or whatever that piece of junk was, was disgusting.

By Janesays

Yes, a wedding that last 6 days. I felt like his movie "off to the Greek" or whatever it was called was 6 days long. It was horrible.

By Ann

AP, again I will repeat...Love is blind, enough said

By gail

Stardom probably went to her brain. Although there is something about her hubby's looks I don't like and I cannot pin it. But she married him for better or for worse, oh well.
