(BEIRUT, LEBANON) — The 53-year-old actor will tie the knot with the human rights lawyer in Venice, Italy, later this month and her dad Ramzi is thrilled with his daughter’s choice of husband.
A source told People magazine: “Ramzi couldn’t seem more delighted. He finds Clooney very sympathetic, intelligent, cool, easygoing and crazy in love with Amal!”
The 77-year-old lecturer has been help planning the couple’s wedding but has refused to spill any of the details to his friends.
The source said: “He is extremely calm. He’s not saying a thing about the wedding. He’s a card player and he’s not giving away anything away!”
Despite George’s $180 million fortune, it was recently reported Amal’s parents were insisted on sticking to tradition and paying for the wedding.
An insider previously explained: “(They are) old-fashioned when it comes to these things.”
The couple are expected to tie the knot on September 27 at a black-tie affair, and final preparations are already underway.
Actor Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, and supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber, who is expected to be George’s best man, will be among the small number of guests.
The insider added: “He wanted just 60 genuine friends and family.”
