As you know, Halle Berry, 45, is engaged again, to fellow actor Olivier Martinez, 46. This will be Halle’s third marriage and Olivier’s first. Halle previously swore off every getting married again, but when she confirmed her engagement she kind of took it all back, saying “never say never, people!” Well along with Halle’s engagement come rumors about what kind of wedding she’s planning. Star Magazine claims she’s going to have a dream wedding in South Africa, which is essentially where she “met” Olivier because they fell in love while filming there. Star claims that, unlike Halle’s previous kind of slapdash weddings, she’s going to go all out for this one. I could see this happening, but I’m still not sure that Star has any insider information. Given what we know about Halle, can’t you see her having a huge wedding and selling the photos to People Magazine? I can imagine just that. Here’s Star’s story:

“The wedding’s going to be in Cape Town, because that’s where they met and fell in love,” an insider tells Star, referring to the set of the film Dark Tide in 2010. “They want to have the ceremony and reception on a huge yacht in False Bay. they’re finalizing a lot of the details now, like who’s going to design the dress.” (Roberto Cavalli is said to be at the top of her list.) Robert Mazlo, the jeweler who designed their engagement ring, is also working with Halle on the wedding bands. And there will be tons of orchids and purple peonies, Halle’s favorite flowers. Olivier also wants African singers and dancers, and the cuisine will most likely be Moroccon, which is a favorite of theirs…

Halle, who was wed to former baseball player David Justice, whom she accused of domestic violence, and singer Eric Benet, who was a notorious cheater, never had a proper wedding before. “Her first wedding in her Atlanta home included five guests, and she wore a cocktail dress; her second, on the beach in Santa Barbara, had only two guests, and she wore a simple shift,” says the source.

“This time around, both of them want all their friends and family to be a part of it.”

So how do the couple plan on topping off their dream wedding? A dream honeymoon, naturally. After the festivities, the two will set sail on Olivier’s private yacht and tour the Mediterranean Sea. “Olivier loves to sail,” says the source. “He’s so excited to show Halle his favorite places.”

The next step for the duo is to talk about granting Nahla’s recent wish for a little sister. “Olivier doesn’t have any children, and he desperately hopes it’s not too late for them to have a baby together,” says the insider. “Halle wants it to happen too!”

Halle sounds like she’s been trying to convince the world, and herself, that this one is “different,” so I can believe this big destination wedding story. It sounds a bit far-fetched but who knows really. She hates the paparazzi (when she doesn’t call them) so maybe a far away wedding is just what she wants to make sure that no unauthorized photos are taken. So that she can cash in and make sure she has final photo approval.

As for the part of the story where they’re supposedly trying to have another baby, can you imagine? Halle will get caught up in another custody battle where it’s all her ex partner’s fault. She’s better off just marrying him.
