Russell Brand has absolutely no secrets to divulge about his upcoming wedding to Katy Perry. Well, maybe he can share a minor detail about the dress code.
“We are going to do the wedding naked! All the families will be naked!” Brand joked to PEOPLE at Sunday’s 2010 Grammy Awards.
He’s kidding. “We’re still deciding what to do,” he says. “There’s no juicy details yet.”
But actually, a naked ceremony is one of the less quirky visions Brand has had for the wedding day.
“All my dream weddings don’t make sense,” he says. That’s probably because his dreams – the literal, nighttime kind – can be a bit hallucinatory.
“The vicar will start melting,” he says. “The people in the front row will turn into people from my school. And then everyone will only say the word ‘potato.’ ”
But in all seriousness, Brand, 34 – who recently threw an engagement party in Beverly Hills with his fiancée, 25 – says life is firing on all cylinders.
“I’m getting married to a beautiful woman,” he says. “I’m enjoying my work.”
What could be better? “Nothing,” he says.”

No more kissing girls for Katy Perry.
Katy Perry and Russell Brand
The newly engaged songstress spills the details about her whirlwind relationship with comedian Russell Brand in the newest issue of Glamour magazine.
“I’m excited to find a partner who can just be my teammate,” says the February cover girl.
The couple met while on the set for the film “Get Him to the Greek,” in which Perry had a cameo appearance.
“My scene called for me to make out with him. And on the way down the stairs after the scene, I was hopping like a bunny,” says Perry. “I hop like a bunny when I’m happy – I get a bit childlike.”
The “I Kissed a Girl” singer also admits that it’s easy for her “to steamroll guys” so “there’s got to be respect.”
The couple, who became engaged while vacationing in India over the winter holidays, stayed in one of the presidential suites of the five-star Taj Rambagh Palace hotel, People.com reports.
According to the U.K.’s Sun, the funny man requested hotel staff to set up a unique dining experience for the couple.
“We set a table in a garden with candles everywhere,” a hotel worker said. “They arrived in a horse and carriage with a glass of champagne and we served them dinner.”

The couple reportedly ate their romantic meal under the stars and were treated to New Year’s fireworks at midnight while sitting on an elephant – a request specially made by Brand.
Brand, 34, proposed to Perry, 25, on New Year’s Eve after the 25-year-old singer is said to have found a ring hidden in some flowers.
“She immediately said ‘Yes,’” adds the source. “After that they requested 45 minutes privacy. They looked like they were beautifully in love.”
Much like their speedy engagement after four months of dating, the duo’s wedding may be within the next six to eight months. Brand’s rep could not confirm any nuptial dates.
Though Perry has now found love, she confesses to Glamour that it’s been tough for her to open up.
“I have always been this character, but I kind of cartoon-ized myself a little bit [in my stage persona],” Perry said. “So when someone really likes me, it’s like here comes a person! I wonder if you can handle this.”

From the Times Online
Russell Brand and Katy Perry have become engaged.
The controversial comic, 34, and the I Kissed a Girl singer, 25, were spending a Christmas holiday together in India when Brand proposed. Brand is thought to have asked Perry during a spiritual ceremony on New Year’s Eve, with the relationship blessed by a “love guru”.
Brand’s publicists said in a brief statement: “We can confirm that Russell Brand and Katy Perry are engaged.”
Brand, whose outrageous sense of humour landed him in the centre of the Sachsgate row in 2008, after he and Jonathan Ross made obscene prank calls to Andrew Sachs on air, is well known for his wild nights out and one-night liaisons. He has previously been linked to a string of high-profile women, including Kate Moss, Sadie Frost, Peaches Geldof, and Big Brother’s Kate Lawler.
Brand and Perry have been a couple for four months, and have been celebrating their engagement on holiday in Thailand.
