Brand and Perry 'planning to wed next weekend'

Katy Perry and Russell Brand are planning to marry in India next weekend.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand are planning to marry in India next weekend.

The couple are set to wed next Saturday in a traditional Indian ceremony at the luxury Taj Rambagh Palace hotel in Jaipur– where they got engaged on New Year's Eve last year–in front of 85 guests.

It is believed the pair – who have been dating since September 2009 – will take the entire wedding party for a tiger safari during a three-day stay at Rajasthan wilderness camp the Aman-i-Khas, before the ceremony.

Russell, 35, recently claimed the ceremony will be low-key, despite reports of a six-day bash and said the couple don’t want a typical celebrity wedding.

He explained: "We just love each other and we want to get married in front of our friends and family and keep it very normal. It ain't about selling the pictures, it ain't about doing no pre-nup, it's just a normal thing.

"I'm trying to preserve it, to keep it a beautiful thing. I think people get the wrong idea on how we want the wedding to play out. Love between two people is the most spectacular yet ordinary thing in the world."
