Liz & Hugh To Get Hitched

Actress-cum-model-cum-producer** Liz Hurley** is finally to wed her long-term boyfriend Hugh Grant in the spring. Hurley has told her pals she will marry Grant, 12 years since their relationship blossomed. Liz, the face of Estee Lauder, was reportedly inspired by Hillary Clinton's show of loyalty to her errant husband, President Bill Clinton - and she's keen to have a family. She suffered a similar humilation to Hillary when Grant was caught by cops with hooker Divine Brown in Los Angeles in 1995. When news of the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke, Hurley wrote to the First Lady to offer her support. A friend confides, "Liz and Hugh have talked over the years of getting married. But as their relationship has normally been splendid they didn't want to spoil it with something they regard as so trivial as a marriage ceremony. They always seemed to put their careers before anything else, but lately they've been talking about a lovely spring wedding." Pals also say 35-year-old Liz has been increasingly aware that her biological clock is ticking - prompting her reported decision to wed Grant. Liz recently admitted, "My sister has two children and I've become quite a good aunt to my niece and nephew. Now I'm sure I'll have children of my own." A source also said, " The wedding will be like something out of Four Weddings and a Funeral, and will be the highlight of the London season." Er, do they really want a Four Weddings-type celebration under the scrutiny of the capital's press? What about the groping under tables, wedding guests hiding in newly-weds bedrooms and the fatal heart attack while during the speeches?
