A source said: "She wanted the Indian leg of her wedding celebrations to involve authentic food but one big-name guest won't eat any spicy food at all." Liz, who is set to marry Arun in March, has already told guests they must attend the wedding dressed in traditional Indian attire. The 41-year-old star wrote to guests with strict instructions of her dress code - saris for the women and turbans and kurtas (long tunics) for men. Liz told guests "not to panic", because she and Arun are setting up a shop to ensure all their guests buy something suitable when they arrive in India. The couple will begin their extended wedding with a traditional British ceremony in Liz's England home of Gloucestershire, followed by two days of partying in Mumbai before finishing with an Indian ceremony. Famous guests will include Victoria and David Beckham, Sir Elton John and Donatella Versace. (C) BANG Media International
