ELIZABETH HURLEY - HURLEY TO MARRY NEXT YEAR

LATEST: British actress ELIZABETH HURLEY will reportedly marry Indian businessman ARUN NAYAR next year (05).

The ESTEE LAUDER model was rumoured to be exchanging vows with her partner of two years during Nayar's 40th birthday celebrations but the event passed on 5 November (04) without any nuptials.

British newspaper THE MAIL ON SUNDAY reports that a traditional ceremony is being planned for next May or June in the UK which will be followed by a blessing and wedding party in India.

A friend of the couple says, "Liz was at another wedding party at the Udaivilas and thought it was a beautiful place to wed. She has said she wants to get married in a palace and the Udaivilas is not far off. It's an equisite building.

"They have still not made a final decision, but she certainly wants to have a traditional Indian wedding and loves the idea of several days of partying."
