Terminally ill Jade Goody is expected to make almost £1 million from TV and magazine rights to her wedding, when she ties the knot on Sunday.
The reality TV star Jade Goody is to wed her long-time boyfriend Jack Tweed at Down Hall country house, in Hatfield Heath, Hertfordshire.
Jack proposed after Jade was told last week that she has only months to live after her treatment for cervical cancer failed.
Jade has finalised a deal with OK! Magazine for the wedding photos and Living TV for the exclusive coverage of her big day.
The magazine deal is reportedly worth more than £700,000 and Jade wants the event to be publicised to generate revenue for her two sons – Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 4.
Celebrities who have said OK to wedding magazine deals
Jade is one of a long line of celebrities who have sold their rights to their big day. Many stars have chosen to sell their nuptials in a glossy magazine to finance their lavish celebrity weddings.
From perching on thrones to arriving in a Cinderella-stye carriage, we tell you the stars who've made a memorable wedding, and big bucks, out of pricey magazine deals:
1. Coleen McLoughlin and Wayne Rooney
The childhood sweethearts got married at Villa Durazzo, a 17th Century palace, on the Italia Riviera.
The wedding celebrations were lavish even by celebrity standards, beginning with a masked ball on board an £80 million yacht and ending with a barbeque for the hungover guests the day after the marriage.
The wedding tab was reportedly around £5 million, with Coleen's dress costing £200,000.
OK! Magazine is said to have paid 2.5 million to cover the ultimate WAG wedding. The magazine spread the nuptials over 75 pages and billed it as "the most glamorous and talked-about wedding of the decade".
2. Jordan and Peter Andre
Glamour girl Jordan was reportedly paid over £1.5 million when she married Andre in September 2005 - the biggest sum at the time for a British celebrity wedding.
The pair fell in love on ITV's reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and the wedding took place at Highclere Castle in Berkshire.
Jordan made it a fairytale wedding by wearing a pink dress and tiara and riding in a Cinderella-style carriage to the ceremony.
The wedding was filmed for a reality TV show for ITV2 and the couple have since made another two series revealing the intimacies of their marriage.
3. Victoria and David Beckham
Soccer superstar David Beckham wed former Spice Girl Victoria Adams at Luttrellstown Castle near Dublin in July 1999.
The Beckhams appeared as king and queen of the evening wearing matching ivory outfits and were seated on gold and red velvet thrones during their wedding banquet at Luttrellstown Castle, near Dublin.
The couple reportedly received £1 million for their lavish wedding in 1999 and the wedding tab is reported to have come to over £500,000.
The 250 guests, who were asked to wear black or white, were entertained by Elton John and the night culminated in a fireworks display.
4. Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas
Oscar-winning actors Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones tied the knot in November 2000 at New York's famous Plaza Hotel with guests including Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine.
The estimated cost of the wedding was over £1 million and entertainment included Simply Red front man Mick Hucknall and Grammy winner Bonnie Tyler.
The couple signed a £1 million deal with OK! Magazine and to prevent other photographers snapping the day, the 250 guests had to present their hologram-embedded invitations. But this didn't stop Hello! Magazine ruining the exclusive magazine deal by publishing their own secret pictures taken by an undercover photographer.
The pair sued Hello! for £500,000 for breach of privacy and OK! sued Hello! for £1.5 million. After a long-running court case Hello! was finally ordered to pay damages of over £1 million.
5. Cheryl and Ashley Cole
Girls Aloud popstar Cheryl and England footballer Ashley Cole became man and wife at the 2,500-acre Wrotham Park estate in Hertfordshire in July 2006 - 21 months after they started dating.
Up to 500 guests attended the event, which cost £500,000, and the wedding received blanket coverage in OK! Magazine, who paid out a reported £1 million for exclusive rights.
At the lavish ceremony the bride wore a £110,000 Roberto Cavalli silk and diamante gown and her groom gave her a wedding ring, thought to be worth £150,000, which matched her £50,000 engagement ring.
Even their pet chihuahua Buster had a special wedding outfit, complete with 'Cheryl & Ashley' written on it in diamante.
Since their wedding the couple have been rocked by claims that the soccer stay has been unfaithful but the couple have remained together and Cheryl has vowed to stand by her man.
6. Brian McFadden and Kerry Katona
Ex-Atomic Kitten singer Kerry married ex-Westlife singer Brian in an Irish castle in 2002, but the marriage only lasted a couple of years with the pair divorcing in 2004.
Although Kerry Katona now has a column in OK!, the ceremony was covered by rivals Hello! for a reported £250,000.
McFadden later blew the lid on celebrity weddings when he said that his wedding day had been a sham.
He said: "It wasn't a real wedding. We were getting married to have a big party and get loads of money for it - and to appear showbiz."
Like Jade Goody, Katona has made a living from being a reality TV star and has recently appeared in a fly-on-the-wall show for Living TV.
McFadden is now engaged to the Australian singer Delta Goodrem.
