Answering a message sent to her Instagram account, the star told fans: “To get married anywhere legally, the place has to have a ‘civil ceremony’ licence. One of the requirements of this liscence is that the premises must be made ‘readily available’ for ceremonies…”

She joked: “As this is our private family home and we need it to remain that way we couldn’t go for that option.”

Additionally, she revealed: “So we are having a relaxed private blessing in front of our closest friends and family and a ceromony of our love to each other and we will register our marriage legally after…”
