George Clooney is finally settling down, and the world is counting down the days until the big day.
As is to be expected, his wedding to lawyer Amal Alamuddin is meeting with a lot of speculation as it gets closer.
When they got engaged, a source told Us Weekly, “This is the healthiest relationship I’ve ever seen George in. He seems incredibly happy, and Amal is such a sweet and intelligent girl, who has her own thoughts and ideas and doesn’t just bow down to everything he says.”
Here’s what we know about the highly anticipated nuptials:
1. It Will Take Place in Italy
In a rare move by the perpetually private bachelor, Clooney revealed a major detail about his upcoming wedding.
On Sunday in Tuscany, at a Humanitarian Awards dinner where Clooney got an award, he declared his love for his fiancee.
During the speech, he announced that the wedding would occur “in a couple of weeks” in Venice.
“I met my lovely bride to be here in Italy, whom I will be marrying, in a couple of weeks, in Venice, of all places,” he gushed.
Although Clooney owns an estate in Lake Como, Page Six said that he wouldn’t marry there due to a lack of privacy.

Originally, Page Six reported that the actor wanted to get married in Italy a year from when he first met his fiancee.
The Daily Star claimed it had exclusive information that the couple would wed in a civil ceremony in London on September 12.
There was so much buzz surrounding it that, according to TMZ, Chelsea Old Town Hall had to post a letter, shown below, on its door.
It said, “We are not conducting the wedding of Mr. Clooney at this office today (Friday 12 September) and a film crew and press photographers would only cause possible disruption to other couples getting married on this day.”
