Och aye do for Rachel

S Club singer will wed at Scots castle

She vowed she wouldn’t have a grand, glitzy wedding, but S Club’s Rachel Stevens is having exactly that when she marries Jeremy Edwards next month.

The couple, who met on a blind date, got engaged last year and have kept the date of their big day under wraps. But The Mirror now reveals that the gorgeous singer and her Holby City fiance will tie the knot on May 16 in front of about 50 family and friends.

Last year Rachel, 25, declared: “I don’t want a massive occasion – I don’t need to hold it at a castle like Paul McCartney and Heather Mills.” Hmm… so where is the venue for their nuptials? Why, the very noble 14th-century, 26-acre Kinfauns Castle in Perthshire.

“They’ve had it booked for more than a year,” a friend of Rachel told The Mirror last night. “It’s a stunning place and very secluded, so they’ll be guaranteed total privacy on the day. They both want it to be a small, intimate ceremony with just the people that matter to them. They’re both counting the days.”

Jeremy, 32, got down on bended knee on Valentine’s Day 2002. At the time Rachel said: “We’re not rushing into anything. When you start the ball rolling to plan a wedding it takes up such a lot of your time – which neither of us have right now.”

It is believed her bandmates Jo O’Meara, Tina Barrett, Hannah Spearritt, Jon Lee and Bradley McIntosh will be there, as will former member Paul Cattermole.
