Jessica Simpson Xmas wedding rumours emerge

Jessica Simpson could be marrying her fiance Eric Johnson at Christmas, according to reports.

Wedding website The Ring Bearer reports it has heard rumours the recently engaged couple will be tying the knot at some point during the festive season.

The singer is said to want a simple ceremony when she marries Johnson, a former NFL football player, following a more extravagant affair on her big day with first husband Nick Lachey.

Simpson and Lachey wed in 2002 and enjoyed a white wedding with 350 guests and a five-tier cake, with the bride wearing a custom Vera Wang dress.

The site suggested she may consider donning a vintage lace gown this time round in order to match her classic engagement ring.

Her dad, Joe Simpson, recently told UsMagazine that his daughter is "the happiest she's been in her entire life", adding: "It's so wonderful to see."
