Report: Alec Baldwin planning Catholic wedding this weekend

And the setting is not only a basilica — the only one in the Archdiocese of New York — but also a legendary church used as a movie set:

Alec Baldwin will reportedly tie the knot this weekend with his yoga instructor.

The Hollywood actor and his fiancée Hilaria Thomas are planning a Catholic wedding at a “storied New York church”, according to the New York Post.

Alec – who proposed to 28-year-old yoga instructor Hilaria in April – will wed at the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral. The church was used as a backdrop for legendary Francis Ford Coppola movie The Godfather.

Sources say a lot of thought has been put into Alec and Hilaria’s big day.

“This wasn’t a quick decision. It took a lot of planning,” an insider explained.

It was previously reported that Alec was poised to wed Hilaria in Europe after wrapping up shooting on a documentary at Cannes Film Festival.

Sources claimed the star was planning his nuptials when the prestigious film festival drew to a close, however, this plan never materialised.

Hilaria will be Alec’s second wife. He married Kim Basinger in 1993, but their divorce was finalised in 2002.

It will be Hilaria’s first marriage.
