Ever since Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger announced their engagement to each other earlier this month, details have started trickling out about their upcoming wedding ceremony. The couple appears to be keeping up with the pace of their whirlwind romance and is currently in the process of planning their wedding, which is anticipated to happen sometime over the summer.
From the location to the possible date to the people that will be involved in the ceremony itself, here are the details that we know about Chris and Katherine's wedding so far.
The couple wants a summer wedding at Martha's Vineyard.
Chris and Katherine are very in love and want to get married pretty soon. The engaged couple has already started looking at summer wedding dates and have started planning out some of the finer details of the ceremony. "They are thinking about Martha's Vineyard which is a special place for Katherine and where she spent a lot of time growing up," a source told E!. "Chris wants her to have her perfect day and whatever she wants. It will be a big wedding and very traditional."
They will have a religious wedding ceremony.
Chris and Katherine's religious connection was one of the many things that drew them so close to each other. "They click on a lot of levels, but definitely on a spiritual level,” a source explained to People. “They have the same outlook on the world, and their faith ties them together. He’s really impressed that she’s vocal and unashamed about her beliefs in God, because that’s how he is. He’s constantly around other people who have no faith or are apologetic about it, but not her. She is willing to talk about it to anyone who will listen.”
Since dating Katherine, the pair have been spotted going on Sunday church dates to L.A.'s Hillsong celebrity megachurch. Katherine's mother, Maria Shriver, is also close friends with Hillsong's pastor, Chad Veach, so it's very possible that Hillsong may be involved in the wedding somehow.
Maria Shriver will be a big part of the wedding.
A source told E! that Maria will "be very involved with the planning," which will include, but is not limited to, hosting the fun activities that come with being a bride-to-be. "They will have an engagement party and bridal shower for Katherine coming up. Its a very special time for the family and everyone is completely thrilled. They can't stop smiling and celebrating."
Chris' son may be in the wedding.
Jack, Chris' 6-year-old son that he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris, has been a big part of Chris and Katherine's relationship so far. Instead of keeping Jack separate from their outings, the couple decided to take him along so he could develop a healthy relationship with Katherine ahead of their marriage. “Katherine never minded that her dates with Chris many times involved a kid activity, like a matinee movie, or going to Disneyland,” a source told People. “Katherine is like a big kid and loves doing activities with Jack. She loves that Chris is a dad.”
Chris' relationship with Jack was a contributing factor for Katherine's decision to marry him. “Seeing Chris with Jack made Katherine positive from early on that Chris is ‘the one,'” the source added, so it's likely that Jack will be involved in the wedding ceremony, possibly as a ring bearer.
