News have it that Pippa Middleton, the sister of Kate Middleton, is getting married to his fiancé come May 2017. But unlike her sister's, Pippa's wedding will be very simple, and the number of guests was projected to be very small, around 150 people.

Pippa Middleton will wed James Matthews, a banking mogul, at the St. Mark Church, a local church in Englefield, England. The after-party will be held at Carole and Michael Middleton's house in Buckleburry, Berks.

The marriage will become a big contrast from Kate Middleton's extravagant wedding to Prince Williams last 2011, at Westminster Abbey wherein the reception followed at the famous Buckingham Palace, which was attended by more than 1900 guests.

Pippa and James were engaged last July; this is after several months of dating. It was in 2012 when the couple was first rumored to be an item. But the news died down soon after. In 2015, the two is said to have rekindled their romance.

James is said to be a little conservative that he went to Pippa's father to formally ask if he can marry Pippa. In fact, people close to the couple had confirmed that the groom had to meet with her parents first to get their consent before popping the big question. Apparently, the utterly sweet yet brave gesture had impressed the Middleton. The parents are supposedly very happy for their daughter.

Pippa, tagged as "her royal hotness" after her involvement as the bridesmaid at her sister's wedding with the Prince, was allegedly very shocked of the proposal. Now that the wedding is set, Princess Charlotte, as well as Prince George, is expected to play the role of the flower girl and the page boy. On the other hand, it is unknown whether the Duchess of Cambridge will become the bridesmaid for her sister.
