George Clooney’s aunt reveals plan for hometown wedding

George Clooney’s aunt has let the cat out of the bag, revealing her famous nephew will marry his lawyer fiancé Amal Alamuddin in his hometown of Maysville, Kentucky.

Starla Clooney, who just happens to be a wedding minister, has let slip that the glamour couple have ditched their original idea of a romantic Italian wedding and are instead opting for a traditional one with close family. And Aunty Starla couldn’t be happier!

“Last weekend George arrived for the annual family reunion and scouted round. It’s not a big cathedral but very pretty,” she toldUK Express.

“That’s my gut feeling – that George will do it there. That’s what family are saying. Celebrations may be out on a farm with marquees,” she added.

George, 53, and Amal, 36, got engaged in April and are set to tie the knot in September.

But it appears they’ve since changed their minds about a lavish European ceremony,because it would be too hard for relatives to attend.  Meanwhile, George, whose parents are from Maysville, is apparently super excited about the new location because it will add more meaning to their special day.
