Chris O'Dowd and his fiancee Dawn Porter are reportedly planning two weddings, one in the UK and one in Los Angeles.

The pair are set to tie the knot next month in an intimate ceremony for family and close friends in London but the 'Bridesmaids' star is also keen to host a second party in Hollywood.

A source told Closer magazine: "Dawn has her UK celeb mates coming to the first wedding, like Caroline Flack, but they'd love an LA bash too."

The pair are also planning for their favourite reality TV star, 'The Voice UK' contestant Ruth Brown, to perform at the ceremony.

The source added: "They both want Ruth Brown from 'The Voice' to sing at the service and Dawn's chosen an emotional song."

Chris - who proposed to Dawn last December - recently admitted he is amazed at how much control his fiancee has taken of planning their nuptials.

He said: "She just turned so quickly into wedding planner from fiancee, I can't f***ing keep up.

"We have the venue booked, the date picked, she's looking at menus, I mean she's all over it. I feel like all I'm getting really is the cheque. She's a very clever woman, so I'm just going to leave her to it."
