"WESTLIFE STAR SHANE FILAN IS PLANNING A MAGICAL CHRISTMAS WEDDING WITH
HIS FIANCEE GILLIAN WALSH.
"
The singer wants to tie the knot on or around Christmas Eve and plans
are already being made for the big day. Shane, 23, told the mirror: "We
are still looking at all the options and trying to make up our minds
what to do but i like the idea of a winter wedding."
"I think because i proposed to Gillian on Christmas Day it would be a
idea to get married at the same time of year. "We are thinking of doing
it as close to Christmas as possible-maybe even Christmas Eve if it
works out."
"Its going to be a big family occasion with all of our best friends
there too-the last thing we want is for it to become a big media frenzy."
Shane has ditched plans to get married in the summer because Westlife
will be busy touring and promoting single releases. If they get married
at Christmas he will have three weeks off too enjoy the occasion and go
on honeymoon.
The singer added: "I've always liked the idea of a winter wedding. I
think theres something really romantic about it and so does Gillian but
we havent made final decisions yet."
"We've been talking to different people about where and when to do it
and hopefully we will know more in the next couple of months. "We want
everything to be perfect and i think it would be the best Christmas
ever."
"Everyone is really looking forward to itand they've been talking
non-stop about it since we announced it."
"Obviously mum and dad are thrilled."
The couple will live in a three-story mansion in Sligo when they tie
the knot. Construction has just been finished on a similar home for
Shane's family.
The house boasts seven en-suite bedrooms, a two-storey dining room and
a snooker room.
"Its a really special gift for my mum and dad and entire family," he
said. "Im getting a new house built for Gillian and I too."
