Amal Alamuddin

(LOS ANGELES, CA) — A source says George Clooney’s fiancée’s family are paying for most of their upcoming wedding in Venice, Italy.

The 53-year-old actor, who has an estimated fortune of $180 million, reportedly isn’t footing the bill for his lavish nuptials later this month, as Amal Alamuddin’s parents have insisted on sticking to the tradition of the bride’s family paying for the event.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: “Crazy enough, her family is paying for most of it!”

The British barrister’s mother and father, Ramzi and Baria Alamuddin, also helped them decide on a location and date. An insider previously explained: “[They are] old-fashioned when it comes to these things.”

The brunette beauty’s mother is an editor at Lebanese newspaper Al Hayat, while Ramzi, is a retired business professor, who taught at the Beirut campus of the American University.

The couple are expected to tie the knot on September 27 at a black-tie affair, and final preparations are already underway.

The source said: “It’s all very classy.”

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.”

Earlier this month, two-time Oscar winner George admitted he can’t wait to get married.

The “Monuments Men” star said: “I would just like to say to my bride-to-be, Amal, that I love you very much. And I can’t wait to be your husband.”

(LONDON, ENGLAND) — Actor George Clooney and Lebanese human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin will be married on September 20 of this year, said a public notice posted at the Chelsea Town Hall in London, England.

The notice announced the marriage of “Amal Ramzi Alamuddin,” 37, to “George Timothy Clooney,” 53, according to a photograph of the official document, which began circulating the Internet early Thursday. By law, a couple’s impending wedding must be displayed at the register for 16 days.

The document also confirms rumors that the Clooney and Alamuddin would be married in Italy, where Alamuddin recently held her bridal shower and where Clooney has a home on Lake Como.

Alamuddin, a Druze whose ancestors hail from Baaqlin, Lebanon, works with the Office of the Prosecutor for the Special Tribunal of Lebanon. Just last week, she launched a book with the American University of Beirut detailing the procedural dimensions of the court.

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt was quoted earlier this year welcoming the soon-to-be newlyweds to the country.

“Tell me when George Clooney will be coming to Lebanon so I can greet him in Mukhtara,” he wrote, referring to his home in the Chouf mountains. “I will bring a delegation of Druze sheikhs.”
