Mark Wahlberg on his very private wedding ceremony plans

Mark Wahlberg has confirmed he and partner Rhea Durham are going to for a small, intimate wedding when they finally marry next year.

The couple began dating in 2001 and have three children together - five year old daughter Ella, two year old son Michael and newborn son Brendan - but Mark recently revealed he only now feels ready to commit to marriage.

Speaking at a press conference recently, he explained that plans are afoot for their forthcoming nuptials and a date has been set for next August - but don’t be expecting a lavish celebrity-packed bash: “[It’ll be in a] Catholic church, small, family only, no media!

“And there will be no wedding pictures sold to any magazines.”
