Summary Reports suggest they would tie the knot on September 26.
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Heart throb actor George Clooney is to marry his British lawyer fiancee Amal Alamuddin in Venice in a "couple of weeks," according to news reports confirmed in part by his spokesman on Monday.
"I met my lovely bride-to-be here in Italy, whom I will be marrying in a couple of weeks, in Venice of all places," People magazine quoted him as saying at an awards ceremony Sunday.
Reports suggested they could tie the knot on September 26, but the A-list actor s spokesman played this down, telling AFP: "He did not give a specific date.
"I can only confirm that he is getting married in Venice," said spokesman Stan Rosenfield.
Oscar-winning Clooney, one of Hollywood s most sought-after bachelors, announced in April that he was engaged to his the 36-year-old girlfriend.
News that Alamuddin had stolen 53-year-old Clooney s heart caused a global media frenzy and furious speculation about when they would wed.
They had come out as a couple last October in London, and since have been seen together in New York and on trips to places like Tanzania and the Seychelles Islands.
Clooney has had a string of younger model and actress girlfriends over the years, but had shown little interest in settling down.
Like his fiancee, he has long shown interest in human rights issues such as the humanitarian crisis in Darfur.
Alamuddin worked with the international tribunal examining the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri, and assisted ex-UN head Kofi Annan in efforts to make peace in Syria.
In August Alamuddin, who is fluent in Arabic, French and English, declined her nomination to join a commission probing Israel s Gaza offensive.
