In accordance with the licence, he and Ange have just 90 days to make it official!

“Brad and Angelina left themselves short of time to sort out their wedding because of the licence deadline. A few months is nothing when you’re planning a wedding — especially one as major as theirs,” a source told The Sun newspaper.

With the licence expiring at the end of May, the couple’s big day could clash with Jennifer Aniston’s wedding to fiance Justin Theroux.

“Everything points to [Brad and Angelina] getting married in May just after the Cannes Film Festival ends, because they've got their hearts set on tying the knot in France," the source adds.

Jennifer and Justin are also believed to be planning their wedding for May, and have been busily preparing for months. If both weddings take place at the same time, there could be a battle for A-list guests.

“All that goodwill would go out the window if Brad’s wedding date comes close to hers. Jennifer will see it as an attempt to upstage her, and there will be a battle over Hollywood guests,” the source says.

If both weddings occur at the same time, not only will there be rivalry over the celebrity guest list, but also over the wedding dress.

Jennifer seems to be winning the wedding planning race at the moment, having already chosen the rings and her dress. But Brad was seen in Paris over the weekend, black folder in hand, visiting several shops, including an interior design consultancy.

But Brange could have a problem if they want to marry in the chapel on their $50 million Chateau Miraval estate in France… French law prohibits couples from tying the knot anywhere except in a town hall.
