Jessica Simpson to wed this summer

Los Angeles:Singer-designer Jessica Simpson, who is pregnant with her second child and due to give birth to a baby boy in summer, plans to marry fiance Eric Johnson just one month after delivery.

"Jessica and Eric are adamant they want to wed this year. Before they found out Jessica was expecting her second child, they had already set the wheels in motion for a low-key (wedding) ceremony," radaronline.com quoted a source as saying. "But then, they had to put their plans on ice when they discovered Jessica was pregnant. Plus, she wanted to avoid a clash with her best pal CaCee Cobb, who had a wedding back in December. "So, Jessica and Eric have had to wait it out for the time being. When they were in Hawaii over the Christmas holidays, they checked out a couple of local spots where a small ceremony could be planned this summer," added the source. The couple, who already has 11-month-old daughter Maxwell Drew, is not completely against exchanging their vows in Los Angeles either, but would prefer to do it anywhere else other than their own home.
