Liz Hurley Posts Marriage Notice

Model Liz Hurley has raised eyebrows by describing herself as a "professional actress" on her notice of marriage.

Liz Hurley, 41, is to wed Indian businessman Arun Nayar at Sudeley Castle, near Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, according to the document which went on public display at Cheltenham Register Office.

The former face of Estee Lauder has however decided not to describe herself as a model on the official form, but as a "professional actress", according to a register office source.

Liz Hurley has starred as the leading lady in Hollywood blockbusters Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and Bedazzled, but failed to impress critics with her "wooden" performances.

She also gives her address as Sudeley Castle, where the wedding is due to take place, and not one of her three homes.

Liz Hurley is rumoured to be tying the knot at the imposing venue on March 3, 2007.

The model is close friends with the Castle's heir Henry Dent-Brocklehurst, who is godfather to Liz's son Damian.

She fled to Sudeley after news broke of Hugh Grant's brief liaison with a prostitute in Los Angeles in 1995.

Liz and Arun are thought to be planning a second ceremony in India after the wedding.

The Beckhams and Sir Elton John are among the stars who have been invited to the bash.
