Domestic goddess Nigella Lawson will be walking up the aisle for the second time soon, as she weds her multi-millionaire boyfriend, Charles Saatchi.

According to British newspaper the Daily Mail, the TV chef and her 60-year-old advertising mogul fiancé, who recently opened his own art gallery, are set to marry sometime after September 1. Wedding banns posted last week list three potential locations for the nuptials: the couple's Belgravia mansion, the Marylebone town hall register office and central London's Berkeley Hotel.

Earlier this summer, the cookery queen was spotted sporting a ring from boyfriend Charles on her wedding finger, but firmly denied she was planning to tie the knot. "I've never been engaged," she said. "I can only get married in a hurry. Thinking about it just makes me more aware of the pitfalls."

It's no surprise, then, that the high-profile couple are taking a decidedly low-key approach to getting married. "They are both delighted," said a friend, "but want to enjoy some privacy for the occasion."

The marriage will be the second for mum-of-two Nigella – her first husband, journalist John Diamond, died of cancer in March 2001.
