Supermodel Claudia Schiffer is rumoured to have chosen Sussex for her May wedding to British film producer Matthew Vaughn.

She has reportedly told celebrity friends to keep May 25 free for the marriage.

According to Vogue's internet news bulletin Vogue.com, a source close to Schiffer has revealed: "We are still being kept in the dark as to the precise location but it will definitely be in the UK. We think they will go for the seaside, most probably Sussex."

Madonna, Guy Ritchie, Sir Elton John, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Anniston and Sting are said to be on the guest list.

A spokesman for Schiffer's publicity agents, Freud Communications, would not confirm or deny whether a Sussex ceremony was on the cards. He said: "It is a private affair."

The couple were reported to want to tie the knot somewhere "low-key".

They have been together for 16 months. Schiffer, 31, was previously engaged to magician David Copperfield for six years.
