Sydney
(Reuters):
Oscar-winning
actress
Nicole
Kidman,
who
will
marry
country
singer
Keith
Urban
this
weekend
in
Sydney,
may
have
at
last
found
true
love,
said
the
Catholic
priest
who
will
perform
the
ceremony.
Jesuit
Father
Paul
Coleman,
who
met
the
couple
this
week
to
discuss
their
marriage
expected
on
Sunday,
said
he
had
a
''good
feeling
about
their
chances''.
Coleman
said
Kidman,
39,
and
Urban,
38,
had
a
''mature
love''.
''You've
got
to
rely
on
their
maturity
and
knowledge
of
each
other
and
I'm
impressed,''
the
priest
told
Australian
media
today.
Coleman
said
he
would
lecture
the
couple
on
the
secret
of
keeping
love
alive.
''Make
time
for
each
other,
do
romantic
things
together
and
never
part
without
kissing,''
he
said.
Kidman,
who
won
a
2002
Academy
Award
for
her
role
in
the
film
''The
Hours'',
had
a
very
public
divorce
from
actor
Tom
Cruise
in
2001,
ending
their
10-year
marriage.
The
two
have
remained
friends,
sharing
custody
of
their
two
adopted
children.
Kidman
and
Urban,
both
Australians
but
born
overseas,
met
in
2005
at
an
awards
dinner
held
by
the
Australian
government
in
Los
Angeles
honouring
the
two
of
them.
They
arrived
in
Sydney
on
Monday,
saying
they
were
to
marry,
sparking
a
paparazzi
frenzy
to
gain
a
photograph
of
the
couple
and
discover
their
wedding
venue.
Kidman
installed
security
at
her
Sydney
harbourside
home,
but
has
remained
accessible,
delivering
a
daily
photo
opportunity.
She
and
Urban
even
sent
the
paparazzi
case
of
cold
beer
but
the
paparazzi
have
not
been
so
friendly
towards
each
other,
with
two
photographers
fighting
outside
a
Sydney
children's
hospital
Kidman
was
visiting.
By
Friday,
most
media
outlets
had
agreed
the
venue
must
be
Cardinal
Cerretti
Memorial
Chapel
inside
the
old
St
Patrick's
Catholic
seminary
overlooking
Manly
Beach.
The
reason?
A
large
white
marquee
had
been
erected
during
the
week
but
there
was
no
official
confirmation.
What
was
revealed
was
that
the
wedding
will
be
a
simple
affair.
''It's
a
simple
Catholic
marriage
and
will
not
be
overly
long.
It
will
be
inside
an
hour,''
said
Coleman,
who
has
been
a
friend
of
the
Kidman
family
for
30
years.
''It
will
be
the
traditional
prayers,
quite
simple,
but
very
sincere,''
Coleman
told
The
Australian
newspaper.
The
Sydney
Morning
Herald
said
a
source
close
to
the
wedding
had
revealed
that
the
statuesque
blonde
Kidman's
dress
would
be
minimalist,
white,
with
a
hint
of
old-world
romance.
The
Australian
newspaper
said
a
Sydney
Symphony
Orchestra
quartet
would
play
as
Kidman
walked
down
the
aisle,
while
The
Daily
Telegraph
said
Urban
would
serenade
his
new
wife.
Urban
won
a
Grammy
in
2005
for
best
male
country
vocal
performance
on
the
song
''You'll
Think
of
Me''.
Guests
include
Naomi
Watts,
star
of
King
Kong
and
long-time
Kidman
friend,
X-Men
star
Hugh
Jackman's
wife
Deborra-Lee
Furness,
and
possibly
Russell
Crowe.
Kidman's
children,
Isabella,
13,
and
Connor,
11,
will
be
bridesmaid
and
usher
