Lily Allen to marry in the New Year?

The brunette British singer is in a serious relationship with her boyfriend Sam Cooper, 32, the owner of a building company, whom she has been dating for over a year.

The couple experienced heartbreak earlier in November when  Lily, 25, miscarried after six months of pregnancy with their first child.

Now rumours are circulating that the pair are planning to seal their love for one another in a New Year wedding.

 “Lily and Sam had loose plans to marry after the baby was born but nothing concrete was in motion,” a friend of the couple told the British newspaper The Daily Mail. “Now they have decided they want to be man and wife as soon as possible. They realised through their grief that they absolutely adore one another and cannot live without each other.”

Lily and Sam have even got as far as choosing the venue for their special ceremony, which is thought be her actor dad Keith Allen’s luxury home in the English countryside the Cotswolds.

The couple think the location is perfect and that the wedding could not come soon enough after their joint tragedy has brought them closer together and more in love.

“She loves his country pad and she and Sam feel it is absolutely right for them to marry there. They want to be together after what they’ve gone through and see becoming man and wife as the light at the end of the tunnel,” their friend said.

However a spokesman for the pair has denied that they are engaged.
