Sarah Harding ready for marriage

Singer Sarah Harding is apparently ready to settle down with boyfriend Mark Foster and wants to start a family.

Harding, 31, former member of Girls Aloud band, has been dating Foster from almost a year and is keen to become a mother, reports dailystar.co.uk.

"Sarah is really keen to start a family sooner rather than later. She loves the thought of being a mum, but would like to do it the traditional way - marr­iage before babies," a sourc said.

The couple understand each other well and are planning to get married by the end of this year.

"Sarah and Mark have decided they'll tie the knot before the end of the year. They have discussed it a lot. They're both spontaneous. Everyone close to them knows it's only a matter of time before he asks her to become his wife," a source said.
