The D-Day is getting closer for George Clooney and fiance Amal Alamuddin.

The 53-year-old actor and his lady love will walk down the aisle next month at his Lake Como home Villa Oleandra in Laglio, Italy, sources reveal.

Both George and Amal are extremely fond of Como. So what better place than the beautiful lake as a backdrop to make a new beginning.

Plus, it's the best place for the lovey-dovey couple seeking privacy to wed. With local mayor and the people on his side, the couple can be assured that press and paparazzi will be kept at bay.

"Doing the wedding in another area of Italy would involve too many people that he doesn't know or trust and George wants to make sure that Amal and both their families enjoy the big day," a source adds. "They want it to be about them celebrating their love and respect for each other with their loved ones watching. And they can do that in Como while keeping everything fully under their control."

George and Amal want to evade the media circus altogether. Hence, the wedding wouldn't be anything like a huge Hollywood wedding, but a very small and intimate one with quiet but happy and fun dinners and lunches after they've said short but meaningful, hand-written vows in front of their loved ones.

“They want their guests to enjoy it as much as they do and they know that if the guest list reads like the Oscars invite list with lots of big Hollywood names there it will be intimidating for their families. They can do a party for movie industry friends in Los Angeles at a later date," adds a source.
