Superstar couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will marry in three to six weeks in a lavish Catholic ceremony, according to Hollywood insiders.
Nine network entertainment reporter Richard Reid said the pair are due to marry in just over a month in what will be the wedding of the year.
"They're going to have a fabulous blow-out wedding to end all weddings. Katie is going to wear a Versace dress," Reid told the Today program.
Following the birth of their daughter Suri — and having been ditched by Paramount — Cruise is getting ready to "make an honest woman of Katie," according to Reid.
"They're going to throw caution to the wind and finally get married," Reid said.
According to Reid, Cruise's belief in Scientology has been a problem — Holmes' parents are strict Catholics and want their daughter married in their church.
"Katie's parents put their foot down and said it has to be a Catholic wedding or we're not going to walk her down the aisle. So it looks like it's going to be a Catholic ceremony for Tom and Katie and we can expect that in about six weeks."
Holmes, the 27-year-old former teen queen, will become the third Mrs Tom Cruise and goes into the marriage with a substantial prenuptial agreement.
Holmes father, a divorce attorney, was said to be behind her $58-million prenuptial agreement, according to reports in US magazine Life & Style Weekly.
Under the agreement, Holmes reportedly stands to gain at least $5.3m for each year she is married to Cruise, should the pair separate. If the pair remain together for more than 11 years, Holmes will be entitled to half of Tom's fortune under Californian law.
Holmes is said to be happy with the agreement and looking forward to her big day.
While there has been no official word on the nuptials from representatives of either Cruise or Holmes, friends are reportedly discussing details of the ceremony with the media.
