Russell Brand & Katy Perry to wed in India

The wedding between former BBC radio presenter Russell Brand and singer Katy Perry is to take place at a luxury resort outside the Ranthambhore tiger sanctuary near Jaipur, India.

Mohan Singh, manager of Rajasthan Tours, said his company was one of several involved in organising the six-day celebration that will begin tomorrow with a Hindu wedding ceremony.

He said the UK actor and US pop star hired 13 vehicles to take some of their 80 or so guests on tours of the tiger sanctuary.

He said the couple would stay in a luxury tent at the Aman-i-Khas resort, with guests staying at nearby Vanyavilas and Sher Bagh resorts.
