Katy Perry to sit on wedding throne

Katy Perry and Russell Brand will sit on giant thrones for their wedding ceremony.

The pair - who are rumoured to be getting married in India on Saturday (23.10.10) - have chosen the ornate seats for their traditional Indian wedding ceremony which is set to take place at the luxury Aman-i-Khas resort in Rajasthan.

When they tried out the thrones Katy and Russell are said to have "burst out laughing".

The couple started the week-long celebration last night (21.10.10) with a Bollywood-style feast featuring dancers and snake-charmers.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "They are very much keeping to Indian tradition. There will be feasting and dancing. And Katy will be painted head-to-toe in henna tattoos."

Rajasthan Tours manager Mohan Singh, whose company is helping to organise the event confirmed both Russell, 35, and 25-year-old Katy want a traditional wedding.

He told the USA Today newspaper: "This would be a colourful Rajasthan wedding, and both Brand and Perry will be attired in Indian wedding attires."

He also revealed the couple have hired 13 vehicles to take some of their 80 guests on tours of the Ranthambore National Park wildlife sanctuary in the days following the nuptials.

Singh also revealed Russell and Katy will be staying in a luxury tent at the Aman-i-Khas resort, just outside the sanctuary, with guests staying at the nearby Vanyavilas and Sher Bagh resorts.

Katy Perry wedding date revealed

Katy Perry and Russell Brand are planning to marry in India next weekend.

The couple are set to wed next Saturday (23.10.10) in a traditional Indian ceremony at the luxury Taj Rambagh Palace hotel in Jaipur- where they got engaged on New Year's Eve (31.12.09) last year-in front of 85 guests.

It is believed the pair - who have been dating since September 2009 - will take the entire wedding party for a tiger safari during a three-day stay at Rajasthan wilderness camp the Aman-i-Khas, before the ceremony.

Russell, 35, recently claimed the ceremony will be low-key, despite reports of a six-day bash and said the couple don't want a typical celebrity wedding.

He explained: "We just love each other and we want to get married in front of our friends and family and keep it very normal. It ain't about selling the pictures, it ain't about doing no pre-nup, it's just a normal thing.

"I'm trying to preserve it, to keep it a beautiful thing. I think people get the wrong idea on how we want the wedding to play out. Love between two people is the most spectacular yet ordinary thing in the world."

Despite the British comedian's claims that he and Katy, 25 are a low-key couple, he did joke that they could make a sex tape together.

When asked if they would ever star in a film together, Russell replied: "We'll do a sex tape! Give them what they want!"
