Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are planning to marry in an "intimate" ceremony this summer.

Angelina, who is rumoured to be expecting twins, will wed Brad in front of close family and friends after she gives birth.

A source said: "Brad has been talking about getting married for ages. He is totally devoted to her and their children. It is the right time for them to do this.

"It will be a strictly private affair. Brad did the big celebrity-packed wedding when he married Jennifer Aniston. This time it will be an intimate family gathering.

"Angelina has said there will be no big white dress or lots of flowers. At the moment they are looking at hosting a ceremony this summer on a yacht out in the ocean, miles from land, with just their children, Brad's close family and Angelina's brother."

Angelina - who already has three adopted children, Maddox, six, Pax, four, Zahara, three, as well as 21-month-old daughter Shiloh with Brad - is reluctant to invite her estranged father, actor Jon Voight and has asked her brother James Haven to give her away.

The source added to Britain's Grazia magazine: "Brad wants the preacher from his home town of Springfield to conduct the ceremony.

"Angelina's brother James will give her away. Brad is insisting Jon is invited if they get married. Angie hasn't ruled it out. But, even if Jon does come, Angelina will still insist James gives her away."

Angelina - who was previously married to actors Billy Bob Thorton and Jonny Lee Miller - fell out with her father after he suggested she needed to seek help for her "mental problems" on a talk show in 2002.
