The Liz Hurley-Arun Nayar wedding is likely to see the British celebrity decked up in a pink saree worth 4000 pounds, media reports said. Actor Hugh Grant has been asked to be the best man at the Liz Hurley wedding, which likely to be held in India. A virtual army of celebrities, actors, actresses and their paraphernalia are expected to descend in India for the wedding. The final date has not been fixed, but is expected to be held in early March 2007. Elizabeth 'Liz' Hurley was earlier in a relationship with Hugh Grant.

Liz Hurley has gone on quote saying that she cannot wait for the Arun Nayar wedding. She has also said that she cannot wait to have a baby with him. Liz Hurley, the stunning actress of Bedazzled, is likely to marry first at the Barnsley House hotel near her Gloucestershire home, said a report in Times of India. The report did not say where it got the Hurley-Nayar wedding info. There are no photos of the wedding clothes yet.

Tabloids and mainstream media in India are agog with news, photos and pictures of the celebrity duo. Aftre their British wedding, Liz Hurley and businessman Arun Nayar are expected to have a traditional Indian style wedding in India's Rajastan state. High-profile Rajastan marriages are known for their opulence and extravagance.

According to Times of India, Arun Nayar and Liz Hurley are believed to have their hearts set on the Devigarh palace in Rajastan.

The newspaper did not reveal where it got the information about the pink silk wedding dress reportedly being purchased by Liz Hurley for the upcoming wedding.

Renowned Indian designer Tarun Tahiliani has created the wedding costume, the news report said.

Liz Hurley's decade-old relationship with Hugh Grant ended after he was once found with a prostitute. Liz had a relationship with American producer Steve Bing for a while, and had his child. Shortly after the child was born, she found Indian businessman Arun Nayar and decided that this is the man for her. Bing refused Hurley's claim that the child was his; however, a DNA test revealed that he was the biological father. The boy was baptised as a Roman Catholic. He was named Damian Charles Hurley. Damian's presence at the wedding is sure to rekindle memories of another similar high-wattage wedding a couple of years back, when Prince Charles got married in a church ceremony.

Earlier, there were rumors that Versace will be desgining the wedding dress for the Nayar-Hurley wedding. Reportedly, Liz Hurley and Arun Nayar have hired the servies of professional wedding planner to take care of the logistics.

I am going to do three sessions of exercise a week and ensure that I'm eating a low-fat diet with plenty of natural vitamins. Over the next four months we will transform into a glowing god and goddess!"
