Sarah Harding books palatial wedding venue

London: Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding has booked a palatial mansion in Berkshire, England, for her wedding to DJ Tom Crane. According to The Sun newspaper, Harding has arranged a ferry to transport guests from London to the palatial mansion Cliveden House before flying out from Heathrow airport for her honeymoon, the next day.

While guests at the wedding are set to include bandmates Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Nicole Roberts, her father John Harding is not invited, reports femalefirst.co.uk. "My father is dead to me - I can`t forgive him. After he and my mother divorced, he wasn`t a very nice person and what`s done is done. I know it`s harsh but I have no place in my life for someone like that. I came close to being in contact with him again but he talked to the press and tried to sell pictures of me as a young girl. He`s a very selfish man and as far as I`m concerned he`s gone," the 29-year-old told Live magazine. Crane popped up the question to Harding on New Year`s Eve 2010 while on holiday in the Maldives.
