American talk show host Montel Williams will spare no expense when he gets married in Bermuda later this year.
The 51-year-old will wed Tara Fowler at a glitzy ceremony at Tucker's Point Club on Saturday, October 6.
The celebrations are expected to kick off the day before with a pre-wedding sunset cruise around the island. The couple, who started dating in 2005, will whisk guests off for a four-hour party on the 101ft yacht 'Venetian'.
The following evening, guests will be shuttled to the Tucker's Point Club for a 6.30pm ceremony.
Up to 75 of the couple's family and friends have booked rooms at the Elbow Beach Resort. The couple will stay at the resort's 'Bird of Paradise' cottage. The one-bedroom beachfront cottage boasts the best views at the resort and also has an open beamed ceiling, a 32" flatscreen LCD TV with surround sound DVD system.
The couple, who live together on 55th Street, New York City, met in Florida. It will be the third marriage for Montel, who has four children - two from each previous marriage.
Montel proposed to Tara, an American Airline flight attendant in her 30s, at the New York restaurant Tavern on the Green in front of both their families. They were celebrating Montel's 50th birthday in July last year.
There are believed to have chosen Bermuda as they wanted an intimate ceremony with just close family and friends.
The couple have visited Bermuda twice this year and are expected to squeeze in another visit to finalise plans before the wedding.
Montel, who has been hosting The Montel Williams Show since 1991, was recently quoted as saying his dream wedding plans were taking shape. The Emmy award-winner told People: "I feel like I have a true partner. I think there's a mutual respect that we have for each other that transcends anything I've ever experienced in my life."
