The hot couple of the moment? Movie star Nicole Kidman and country music star Keith Urban who plan to wed, well, any minute now. The couple is getting married this weekend but exactly where or when is unknown to even the guests, who will find out at the last minute. All of Australia is a abuzz with star sightings of the hot couple and the popular faces who have come to town for their nuptials. ABC News had more details - "Although she has tried to duck the spotlight, Nicole Kidman's every move has been followed by photographers, TV crews and fans in the days leading up to her wedding to Keith Urban. On Friday, Kidman, Urban and some high-profile guests drove out of her waterfront property amid rumors of a ceremony rehearsal. "The nerves are fine," the Oscar-winning actress told reporters."

 

Misinformation and rumors about Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's wedding have been circulating around Australia for days. The Sydney Morning Herald had the following to say, "While insiders say the entire wedding will happen in Manly at the St Patricks Estate, one persistent male caller, who won't leave his details, tells the Herald thousands of white and pale pink roses have been delivered to the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Point Piper, a rumoured reception venue, flatly denied by all parties. There has also been a tip-off about a fireworks barge moored in Rose Bay, presumably for the Point Piper venue. Another call conveniently offers details on the huge boat that would ferry guests from Manly all the way to Point Piper for the reception. Being associated with such a high-profile event is marketing gold for small businesses; however, due to the strict confidentiality agreements they are signing, no one involved in the wedding has been able to blow their own trumpet."

 

Nicole Kidman, who divorced from Tom Cruise in 2001, may be madly in love with Keith Urban, but that's not stopping the couple from inking a prenuptial agreement, according to The New York Post's Page Six, "Kidman, who's worth about $150 million, has had her hubby-to-be ink a lowball prenup that guarantees him a kiss-off of just over $600,000 a year for every year they are together, according to press reports in Australia and England. In addition, there's a clause that allows her to bail without giving Urban, an ex-cocaine addict, a cent if he uses illegal narcotics or boozes excessively. The agreement, signed in Los Angeles earlier this month, also calls for joint custody of any kids the couple has together, although Urban would be prohibited from taking them out of whatever country Kidman is living in, the London Daily Mail said."

 

So, who gets an invite to the hottest wedding of the year? No one knows for sure but hot names like Naomi Watts, Russell Crowe, Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Renee Zellweger, Hugh Jackman, and, of course, Nicole Kidman's children with Tom Cruise, Connor and Isabela are rumored to be on the guest list. And the other ceremony details? CNN International had a few, "As for her dress, Kidman is likely to wear a design by Balenciaga, her preferred fashion house. The Rev. Paul Coleman, a family friend and pastor, reportedly will preside over the ceremony. He met with the couple this week and said he was confident their marriage would be happy."
