While it’s pretty much certain that George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin will marry in September, the couple still hasn’t decided on the venue for the ceremony. However, reports have emerged suggesting that they might tie the knot in Highclere Castle near London, the country house where Downton Abbey is filmed.

George and Amal recently visited the castle and the future bride loved it so much they are now considering having the wedding there.

A source told MailOnline.com: “George became close friends with Hugh Bonneville, who plays Lord Robert Crawley, when they did The Monuments Men together last year. And they really hit it off. He contacted Hugh and asked him to arrange a private tour of the castle. Amal was blown away.

“When he saw his bride-to-be’s reaction to the spectacular Victorian castle, set on 1,000 acres of parkland, he began making some discrete inquires about having their wedding performed there. And he was told they would be most happy to accommodate them.”

The insider also added: “George loves the idea of marrying at the castle, because it’s a glamorous place he could secure… Amal’s Middle Eastern relatives would most certainly enjoy the exhibition, and the tour would make for a most memorable wedding.”
