Russell Brand, Katy Perry to wed in Jaipur

[October 22, 2010]  JAIPUR, India (AP) -- An Indian tour operator says British actor-comedian Russell Brand and American pop star Katy Perry are getting married this weekend at a luxury resort outside the Ranthambhore tiger sanctuary in Rajasthan.

Rajasthan Tours manager Mohan Singh says his company is one of several involved in organizing the six-day celebration that begins Saturday with a Hindu wedding ceremony.

Singh says Brand and Perry have hired 13 vehicles to take some of their 80 or so guests on tours of the tiger sanctuary in the days after the wedding.

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

Private security has been stationed at the hotels, which have refused to discuss the event with media.
