When Liz Hurley started planning her eagerly awaited wedding to Arun Nayar, she wanted to ensure her big day would command maximum exposure and, naturally, a decent fee. Plans were in place for the model to marry before Christmas and a £2million deal with OK! magazine was being negotiated. But Elizabeth’s wedding has now been postponed after the 41-year-old insisted on taking charge of the contract herself. The magazine was to have had exclusive access to ceremonies in India – Arun’s home – and at the couple’s Gloucestershire estate as part of the eye-watering deal. There were to be photographs of the bride’s celebrity friends. Elizabeth had instructed a third party to negotiate the contract but then she intervened and now plans have been thrown into chaos. ‘Elizabeth suddenly announced she was cutting out the people she had brought in to handle the deal, which ruffled a lot of feathers,’ I’m told. ‘But it hasn’t worked out for her. She thought she’d be able to plan the wedding herself, and assigned Arun to oversee the Indian ceremony while she was in charge of the Gloucestershire event. But as she is so busy with her swimwear line, it hasn’t happened. ‘Part of the deal is that Sir Elton John and the Beckhams all turn up to be photographed but it’s too late notice for her friends to be at a wedding any time soon. ‘They are now back to square one and trying to set up a new date altogether. Elizabeth wants the wedding of the year.’
