As we know, Halle Berry is engaged to French actor Oliver Martinez, and she’s hell bent on moving to France. She’s petitioned the judge in her custody case to approve the move, and according to reports the judge has indicated that no ruling on that issue will be made for at least six to nine months. That’s not deterring Halle at all. She was seen in Paris in mid March checking out schools for Nahla. And according to In Touch, Halle and Oliver are so anxious to make it official they’re planning to marry this summer in a “simple ceremony” in the French countryside.

Halle Berry’s gift to fiance Oliver Martinez? “The wedding of his dreams – in his native France,” says an insider of the twice-divorced star. Guests at the “simple summer ceremony” will include Halle’s mom, Judith, and her daughter, Nahal, who’s “super-excited to choose her flower girl dress.”

If I didn’t know any background on this story I would say that sounds sweet. Given what we’ve heard, I hope it isn’t true. Halle may be engaged again, but she did tell Oprah in 2004 that, point blank she will “never marry again.” Then in 2007 she told Oprah that she wanted another baby with then-boyfriend and baby daddy Gabriel Aubry and added that with Gabriel “I feel more married, in a way, than I ever have in two marriages before. He really understands the spiritual connection is so much more important than the paper and the pomp and circumstance and the ceremony.” We all know how that turned out. Well something changed for Halle with this new guy and she may be eating her words. Or not. We’ll see.

Here’s a photo chronology of Halle’s leg brace/boot. She was wearing it on 3-14-12 while grocery shopping in L.A. She wasn’t wearing it in Paris on 3-19 and in these latest engagement ring photos, from 3-29 she’s still not wearing it. So I guess we can assume her broken foot is healed.
