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."
