Star Magazine is reporting that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are planning a September wedding in order to get married before her jail sentence. The date they chose is September 21st (Nicole’s birthday)!
At this point, the couple is eying a September 21st wedding, primarily because Joel has a 19-day break from his current concert tour with his band, Good Charlotte, and because it’s Nicole’s 26th birthday to boot! If they stick to that plan, Richie, will likely do her jai time form September 24-27.
Nicole is eager to marry but doesn’t have time to coordinate. A source is claiming that she has hired a wedding planner to take care of the details.
“Nicole wants to get married first, and then serve her time,” the source says. “But she’s way too stressed about jail to plan the wedding, so she’s hiring a wedding planner to coordinate the details.” They’ll most likely tie the knot at Joel’s mansion in Glendale, California, although Nicole’s dad, Lionel Richie, has offered his house in Bel-Air if they want to use it. The other, less public option is to head to Madden’s hometown near Annapolis, Maryland. “Joel doesn’t want a circus,” another friend says. Joel “feels a sense of responsibility toward Nicole,” the friend says. “Joel is scared – ” Nicole’s pregnancy is not something he’s taking lightly. It’s been anxious times for them, but Joel finally told her, “We need to get beyond all the bulls —t that is dragging us down and learn to lean on each other.’ That was music to Nicole’s ears – ” she couldn’t stand the thought of losing him and facing jail.”
I hope it all works out for her.
