Cork - Irish beauty Morgan Deane will marry Proteas Test skipper Graeme Smith at an intimate ceremony in South Africa later this year.
According to the Herald in Ireland, Deane, 26, is wasting little time when it comes to planning her nuptials to Smith, 31, who popped the question just last April.
Morgan explained how she's bubbling over with excitement at the wedding, and confirmed that it will take place "before the end of the summer" and revealed it will take place in Cape Town.
"We expect to be married before the end of the summer so we're flying out in June to Cape Town. My parents are coming with me so they'll be able to meet all of Graeme's family before the wedding," she explained. About 30 of Morgan's family and friends will fly out and her younger sister Sharon, 20, will be her bridesmaid.
Deane also set the record straight on her 'sex message' about her future husband which had the Twitter abuzz earlier this week.
The loved-up pair made headlines in South Africa after she wrote on her Twitter page: "Sex is gooooood with @GraemeSmith" and followed it up with a photo of a stallion.
But the singer said: "It was a total joke, there was a big gang of us and we were all messing around. I put it up for a laugh and the next thing, it's all over the news in South Africa.
"It's got to the stage where you can't say anything without people thinking you mean it seriously but it was all done tongue-in-cheek."
Meanwhile, Smith is reported to have left his Indian Premier League team, the Pune Warriors, to mollify Deane, after fellow-South African Gabriella Pasqualotto, a cheerleader assigned to the Mumbai Indians, had been expelled from the IPL for writing in her blog: ‘Ol Graeme Smith will make eyes at anything — while his girlfriend is walking behind him’.
“Perturbed by his fiance’s reaction, Smith decided to clear the air in person... He left on May 14... The impression he gave is that he didn’t wish to lose the (latest) woman in his life, that he had to pacify her,” a well-placed source at The Telegraph in India said.
