Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to wed "Within the Next Couple of Weeks"

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt could be getting married "within the next couple of weeks", it was claimed today.

The Hollywood super couple -- who are expecting twins later this year -- are said to be on the brink of getting wed in a low-key ceremony in France before Jolie gives birth in August.

A source said, "Brad and Angelina are planning a small wedding to be held within the next couple of weeks and that means having it in France.

"Angie is finally convinced that marrying Brad is the right thing to do and he thinks it's the perfect time to do it.

"They want to tie the knot before the twins arrive - which is only a few weeks away - so the clock is ticking"

The couple, who are currently staying at Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen's $25million Villa Maryland with their adopted children -- Maddox, six; Pax, four; Zahara, three; and biological daughter, Shiloh, two, are reportedly keen to stage a "simple outdoor ceremony" with a white, floral theme, with the children playing a major role.

Another source said, "The kids will be central to the blessing. Maddox and Pax have contributed to the vows."

Only a handful of guests will be invited to the bash, including Angelina's brother, James Haven; Brad's brother, Doug; George Clooney; and Marianne Pearl, who Angelina played in the film "A Mighty Heart".

Brad's parents Jane and Bill Pitt are planning to fly out for the big day, although they have told friends that the trip is to help Angelina out with the kids in the run-up to the birth.

"Brad's parents are thrilled that she's come round to the idea of a wedding," said a friend.

"It took a long while for them to accept Angelina, and she hated that people saw her as the one who stole him from Jennifer Aniston, but that's all ancient history now and she's prepared to take the next step."
