Jamie Lynn Spears planning to marry by the end of the year

Now that the young couple have welcomed their first child into the world, Jamie Lynn Spears is reportedly planning her wedding to fiance Casey Aldridge.

Jamie Lynn only gave birth to daughter Maddie last month but a source close to the family told OK magazine: “She’s already down to her pre-pregnancy weight. She has the cutest figure!”

The source claims that the couple will marry before the end of the year and are looking to hold the ceremony in the grounds of their new home in Liberty, Mississippi. Jamie Lynn bought the four bedroom, three-acre property - which is just 30 minutes drive from her family home in Kentwood, Louisiana - in the spring and is settling into family life there: “She loves everything about the area where she lives. She’s not going to get married at some luxury resort in the Caribbean or a hotel in Beverly Hills,.

“Her own backyard with just the people who matter most is more Jamie Lynn’s style.”

The source added that Jamie Lynn’s big sister Britney Spears will be the maid of honour at the event and daughter Maddie will also be included in the event, carried in a flower-decorated basket by one of her grandmothers.
