Autumn wedding in London for Clooney and Alamuddin  

BEIRUT: George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin are planning to wed in a London venue this September, sources close to the couple told The Daily Star.

The Lebanese-British Alamuddin has become a source of pride and fascination in her home country after news broke of her engagement to notorious bachelor Clooney. The Lebanese media has been whipped into a frenzy, with news crews and reporters descending on Alamuddin's ancestoral Chouf village of Baakline.

Alamuddin has also become a source of many self-depricating jokes among Lebanese at home and abroad. Blogger Amer Zahr wrote an open letter to Clooney about marrying an Arab woman that went viral on social media, warning the movie star to "strap in for the ride."

"Oh, and we have to talk about the wedding. You may have hoped for a small, tactful affair. I wouldn't be too optimistic," Zahr advised.

The satirical website the Pan-Arabia Enquirer ran a standalone picture suggesting Clooney had ditched his Nespresso sponsorship for Najjar, a popular Lebanese brand of Arabic coffee.

Mackenzie Dawson wrote her own open letter to Alamuddin in the New York Post, calling her engagement to Clooney a "vicarious triumph" for career-oriented single women.

Alamuddin is a high-profile lawyer whose clients have including Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, former Libyan intelligence chief Abdallah Al Senussi, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and the king of Bahrain. She also worked for the prosecution of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, about which she co-edited a book.

Alamuddin's father, Ramzi Alamuddin, is a retired business professor at the American University of Beirut. Her mother, Bariaa Miknass, is a veteran journalst at Al Hayat and a former contributor to The Daily Star.

And remember the rumor about a September wedding has been printed before now we got the location LOL   

Well, we mustn't dismiss this report - the Daily Star turned out to be right a couple of weeks ago.

London?? Nearest place for me to attend it

If she wants it to be in London for her family...it will be there but George will spend a lot of money for his family to attend it.

Yeah they reported that George wants to marry her even before he actually proposed.

He can afford it. Pay for his family to go to London.

Never seen this pic:

Well, London is where they met (probably) and where she lives........

Can hazard a guess at the venue..............

She looks beautiful on this picture.

By the way....I'm interested to hear whether they plan just a civil wedding or spiritual/religious one. He is Roman Catholic (formally - but not practicing), while she is Druze. It will be interesting to see what type of ceremony they will choose.

Wedding no later than September according the Mail - wish they could spell - never mind anything else!!

September bride! George Clooney set to marry Amal Alamuddin in five months - but he had to pass muster with her family first

George is planning to wed the Beirut-born lawyer in a year from the date they first met at a charity event
A friend of Amal's family reveals to MailOnline that Amal refused to date the man considered the world's most eligible bachelor until he passed her family's vigorous vetting process
The actor would prefer a small, low-key affair but in Lebanese tradition a small wedding would include 200 people
Amal's family say 'they have never seen her so happy'

Mark your calendars! It's a September wedding for George Clooney and his bride-to-be Amal Alamuddin.
The couple, who were introduced at a charity event last September, are planning on making the one-year anniversary of their first meeting their wedding day.
‘If all goes as they are planning, Amal and George will be husband and wife within less than five months,’ reveals a family friend.
Clooney turned 53 on May 6, and he’s given himself quite the gift — an entirely different life. The actor shocked the world when he reversed gears on his long-standing ban on marriage and got engaged to Beirut-born lawyer, Amal.

Now. the longtime family friend of the traditional family reveals exclusively to MailOnline the details behind the happy couple’s journey from the single life to falling in love and, in five months, to wedded bliss.
George had to go through a vigorous vetting before Amal would even consent to go out with him last fall. ‘He asked her out three times before she finally agreed,’ says the friend.

‘Tradition is extremely important to her Lebanese family, so Amal contacted her parents to discuss it before she would agree to go out with him.'
According to the pal, letting her family know that she was going to date George was Amal’s way of showing them respect. And George had to do the same once he decided he was finally ready to take their relationship to the next level.

Before asking for Amal’s hand in marriage with a 7-carat emerald-cut diamond, George and the international law and human rights attorney flew to Dubai for a few days in March to meet up with her half-brothers brothers, Samer and Ziad, sister, Tala, and father, Ramzi.
The friend reveals that George met 36-year-old Amal’s London-based editor mother, Baria, more times than her dad, the retired owner of a travel agency called Cosmo.
MailOnline had reported exclusively that the dashing Hollywood star was been notably absent during the pre-Oscar bashes around Los Angeles and skipped the after-parties on March 2. He was on his way to London to meet up with Amal and then fly on to Dubai.
‘That trip was kind of Clooney’s indirect way of showing her father he was serious about her before asking for her hand in marriage.’
According to the friend, during their March trip George proved that he was more than just a good-looking movie star.
‘Amal’s dad is definitely more impressed with Clooney’s political and humanitarian involvement than he is with his fame and wealth,’ the friend notes to MailOnline.
‘Ramzi prefers his daughter is associated with a guy with brains and no money over a guy with no brains and lots of money.’

Amal and George played their relationship right with the family, but they did make one major faux pas. 'He wanted his proposal to be a surprise so he told very few people,’ reveals the friend.
George got down on one knee to pop the question to Amal at a romantic restaurant on April 22.
The brunette stunner showed the gem off alongside the actor at his friend Rande Gerber's 52nd birthday dinner in Santa Barbara on April 27.
Unfortunately, ‘the family learned Amal was engaged from the press, and her brothers and sister also didn't learn about it until later,' the friend added.
The family is willing to overlook the slight, says the friend.
But there is one major unresolved issue about the Big Day.

‘George doesn’t want a huge to-do, but what he doesn’t really understand yet is that a “small” wedding for a Lebanese family is around 200 people,’ laughs the friend.
‘I think they will end up having a smaller wedding than Amal’s family expects and that will make a lot of the Lebanese relatives unhappy.’
If the couple decides to hold the wedding in the U.S. or in England, ‘George better have a fleet of private jets ready to fly all the relatives who are expecting to be invited,’ says the friend.
Amal’s parents and siblings ‘just want her to be happy and right now is the happiest
they’ve ever seen her.’
Actor pal and Monuments Men co-star Matt Damon adds: 'I'm just thrilled that he met Amal and that they're as happy as they are, He deserves it.'

Everybody likes to confirm the September month... will be interesting. I think in September George can not move anywhere without being chases by million paps.

Thats weird if true....

"Unfortunately, ‘the family learned Amal was engaged from the press, and her brothers and sister also didn't learn about it until later,' the friend added.
The family is willing to overlook the slight, says the friend."

No autumn wedding! No no. It must be summer. July at the latest. He mind change his mind.

Well, this article appears to have so many inaccuracies I'd be really interested to know who their 'source' is!

Starting with the proposal in the restaurant...........

And did Doughty Street Chambers really confirm it before her family knew? Don't see it

The Mail are now correcting themselves! New headline, different pix, new angle..............

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

No I think it is not correcting it is just a complete different article about his frriends wedding. LOL Or they made of that wedding friends news a new article hehe

I will post it for you in the other thread

'He'd marry her today if he could'...............aaahh!

I saw in Christian Post today that they'll marry in Quebec on September 20th, according to "a source". At this rate they'll have to get married five or six times to make all the sources accurate.   

@ PAN - That brought to mind the expression "gag me with a spoon"!  

My backyard is still available.

Merged threads

PAN I moved your post here
