Mr and Mrs Pitt: The wedding of the century!

A typically unconventional big day is finally on the cards for this eternally marriage-shy couple.

The intimate kisses he stole from her at last week’s Screen Actors Guild Awards said it all. Not usually one for public displays of affection, Brad Pitt couldn’t keep his eyes, or hands, off his leading lady, Angelina Jolie. he pair look more loved-up than ever – and the reason is obvious, with the actor publicly giving the strongest indication yet he’ll make the mother of their six children his lawfully wedded wife.

“We’d actually like to,” the Moneyball star confessed earlier this month, when the Hollywood Reporter asked if he and Ange will ever exchange vows, “and it seems to mean more and more to our kids.” We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can,” the actor continued. “But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me too, to make that kind of commitment.”

Indeed, Brad confirmed to CBS News last week that he’s been receiving “a lot of pressure” from his spirited tribe to marry their mother, admitting he’d told his kids, “We will someday. We will. That’s a great idea. Get Mommy a ring? Okay, I will.”

Insiders tell Woman’s Day the children have ganged up on Brad and are bullying him into marrying their mother, wearing coloured string “rings” on their wedding fingers and marching around the house with homemade signs saying, “Mom says yes,” and, “Forever together”. And, as Brad’s words suggest, it seems the kids’ super-cute antics have had the desired effect, with their parents looking set to pledge their love in a formal ceremony.
