Mark Owen can’t afford to have Take That play at his wedding

Mark Owen can't afford to have Take That play at his wedding.

The 37-year-old singer – who is due to marry his girlfriend of six years, Emma Ferguson, next month – claims his band demand so much money for personal performances, even he can't book them for the evening.

Mark – who is joined in the band by Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange - quipped: "Will Take That perform? Are you kidding? I couldn't afford them! The boys will all be there though."

It's not only the entertainment the couple are having difficulty organising.

Mark – who has a son Elwood Jack, three, and an 11-month-old daughter, Willow Rose, with the actress – admits they have been so busy planning their big day, they haven't settled on a honeymoon destination yet.

He explained to Closer magazine: "Everything's going to plan but we haven't had time to think about are honeymoon yet."

The wedding – which is believed to be taking place at a Scottish castle – will be an intimate day with only Mark and Emma's closest family and friends attending.

He said: "It's a big white wedding but a private affair. I want to be with family and friends.

"Emma's very supportive and makes me laugh, she's a good friend too."
