Katherine Heigl

Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl is to wed her rocker fiance Josh Kelley two days before Christmas, according to reports.

Friends say the actress chose the date in the middle of a hiatus from the medical drama, so she could get used to being Mrs. Kelley and take time to plan and prepare for her big day.

An insider tells Life & Style magazine, "She'll be in the middle of a holiday break for her show, and she'll still have enough time after for a short honeymoon.

"Everyone is already so full of cheer just before Christmas, so to throw in a wedding at that time--she just loved the idea.

"Her idea is to get married under this snow-covered tent at her property with Josh in rural Utah. She wants glamour, so the dress is upscale. But she also wanted everything to feel down-to-earth, natural and beautiful."

The couple met on the set of Kelley's "Only You" music video, in which she played his sweetheart, in 2005.
