Pippa’s secret wedding

Pippa’s secret wedding

Pippa Middleton and stockbroker Nico Jackson are secretly planning a lavish wedding that’s set to take place early next year.

The handsome 36-year-old has been telling his friends to keep it under wraps but to save the date for an English spring wedding where he’ll wed the Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister.

“Nico can’t stop talking about it,” a friend close to the Deutsche Bank executive said.

“It’s been the source of much excitement among his friends. He and Pippa want everything to be just perfect.”

Keeping their relationship low-key, the couple were first spotted together with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Middleton family on the beautiful island of Mustique in February.

Rumours ramped up in September when Pippa, 30, took off with her dashing Englishman to a dreamy Caribbean island, the place they are said to have sealed their relationship with a ring and a promise to wed.

“They have been together for a lot longer than people realise. They want to announce an engagement after Christmas and the wedding will follow soon after,” the source said.

The couple are expected to make an announcement about their wedding in the next couple of months with strong suggestions they will choose Scotland as their whimsical wedding destination, despite her future parents-in-law wanting a wedding closer to their home in Kent, England.

“Nico’s parents would love to have the wedding in Kent,” the source said.

But like their engagement, the young couple are keeping their lips sealed for now about when and where the nuptials will take place.
