COLE-TWEEDY SET A DATE

My, what a long courtship (in tabloid-fodder terms) it's been for Cheryl Tweedy and Ashley Cole. But that can't last forever, as sooner or later a magazine is going to need some pictures to get through a week without a Jade from Big Brother exclusive.

They've set a date.

July 15th.

You might think it odd, an England footballer choosing to get married less than a week after the World Cup Final - after all, it's a busy time getting married and you wouldn't want any distractions like a World Cup Final eating away at you while you're trying to sort out what's happened to the person making the cake. Perhaps Ashley isn't expecting to be otherwise engaged by the end of the World Cup.

We're not sure how this bit works, either:

Our source says: "The invites have gone out - they're keeping the location under wraps as they've signed a magazine deal."

So, does that mean Cheryl's wedding invites are more like tickets to a rave? Will Nadine (plus guest) have to turn up at a phonebox in Bristol and wait for a call telling her where the ceremony is?
