According to Now magazine, following Brad's proposal last year they have decided to get married in the sunshine and have already whopped down a huge deposit for the £1.5 million wedding.The magazine, which claims Brad picked up the couple's wedding license last month, which means that they've got to get married within 90 days."Brad and Ange are renting a Caribbean resort for £500,000
a night and will have complete privacy," a source told the magazine. But while they've stumped up the cash for the three-night wedding bash, they will only have a handful of guests.
"It's
a tiny area for 120 guests. It's intimate, elegant
and known for discreet weddings overlooking
the ocean," the insider said."So
far they've paid
a deposit and are likely to keep the details under wraps 'til the last minute." But have they already beaten the tabloids to it and wed in secret? The Oscar winning actress is in Africa to meet with politicians, including British Foreign Secretary William Hague. The actress will meet victims of sexual assault and rape during visits to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda as part of a British led campaign to highlight violence towards women.“This visit is about hearing first hand from people who have endured rape and sexual violence,” Jolie, who is a UN Special Envoy for Refugees according to the Telegraph when she arrived in Africa.“Unless the world acts, we will always be reacting to atrocities, treating survivors rather than preventing rape in the first place." Jolie caused controversy with her directorial debut In The Land Of Blood And Honey which dealt with rape victims during the Bosnian war.

Foreign secretary William Hague will travel with Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie to Africa this week to raise awareness of warzone rape.Hague and Jolie will visit survivors of rape and sexual violence on a tour of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, said the Foreign Office.The pair are expected to call on all governments to help eradicate sexual violence in conflicts when they meet local political leaders.Angelina Jolie has worked with Hague before, launching the UK's Preventing sexual Violence Initiative in London last year.Her 2011 film In The Land Of Blood And Honey depicted the experiences of women in the rape camps set up during ethnic cleansing in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and was a catalyst for the new initiative, the Foreign Office said.Angelina Jolie said: ""This visit is about hearing first hand from people who have endured rape and sexual violence during the conflict in the Eastern DRC."We want to identify ways in which the international community can help them to rebuild their lives."Unless the world acts, we will always be reacting to atrocities, treating survivors rather than preventing rape in the first place."I welcome the United Kingdom's efforts to galvanise the international action that is so desperately needed."The visit comes three weeks before the foreign ministers meet in London with their counterparts in the US, France, Canada, Japan, Germany, Russia and Italy for the annual G8 summit.William Hague said: "Rape is often used as a weapon of war in conflict zones around the world. It destroys people's lives and communities in the most horrific manner imaginable."Yet more often than not the international community looks away, the perpetrators of these brutal crimes walk free and the cycle of injustice and conflict is repeated. We have to shatter this culture of impunity."Hague and Jolie will urge G8 members to agree landmark measures to secure justice for survivors of sexual violence and deter perpetrators.
