    'They're a lovely couple and no doubt the wedding will be a wonderful day for all involved.'

    Speaking at Hylands Park, Chelmsford, Katherine said: 'The wedding plans are coming along. We're getting there.'
    Asked if the couple had decided on a date and venue for their big day, she responded: 'Not yet, but we'll get there.'
    The pair met when they were both working in New York and began dating in October, shortly after she split from Prince Harry’s close friend Adam Bidwell.
    Andrew joined Katherine as she collected her OBE from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace earlier this year.
    The operatic star was previously engaged to former Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones, who proposed in 2011 - but the couple split later that year.
    Gethin has now moved on and has enjoyed a string of dates with former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh.

    The pair were pictured enjoying a trip to the cinema last week, ahead of Katherine's nuptials. 
    The singer has since said she is teaching herself about Judaism to bring herself even closer to her man ahead of their big day. 
    She recently said in an interview with the Mail: 'I’ve spent my life up until 18 attending church regularly and that will always be my background and I will always really appreciate that in my life going forward as well.
    'But I think it is very interesting to learn about another faith and to respect that, and to understand it. It’s a learning thing.
    'When you do religious studies at school you learn about other people. I really enjoy learning about all the different kinds of religion and what the main parts of each are. This is a side of my partner, so of course I’m going to learn about that.'
