Beckhams among guests to Guy Ritchie's wedding

Singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham and husband and former footballer David Beckham will be among the guests to celebrate film director Guy Ritchie and model Jacqui Ainsley's wedding.

Ritchie, who is marrying Ainsley later this week and hosting a lavish party at his home, has invited guests to the couple's country pad, Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, where English celebrity chef Jamie Oliver is overseeing the food arrangement.

The "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" director has also invited star couples Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as well as George and Amal Clooney, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Singer-actor Sting and wife Trudie Styler, actress Gwyneth Paltrow and producer Matthew Vaughn are also expected.

"The guest list is jaw-dropping. It's like the Oscars. If even half of them come, it will be the party of the year. There are marquees being set up in the gardens and food by Jamie's chefs. It's going to be amazing. Guy is well connected and liked, so it's no surprise there are so many people invited to his wedding," said a source.

Ritchie, who was earlier married to singer Madonna, proposed to Ainsley in 2012. They have three children - Rafael, Rivka and Levi.
