Rhys Ifans and Sienna Miller to tie the knot in summer

Washington, Mar 10 : Welsh actor Rhys Ifans is, according to reports, over the moon after he finally persuaded English actress Sienna Miller to tie the knot with him.

The whole affair was supposed to be a tightly kept secret. However the Sunday Mirror newspaper reported that the 39-year-old 'Notting Hill' star was so delighted about the whole affair that he just could not keep his mouth shut.

Ifans had first proposed to Sienna in August and then in December of last year by sending her baffling Welsh text messages and hiding rings.

He was successful on the third try and now the couple are busy planning a quiet wedding this summer.

"Rhys is over the moon and finding it hard to keep quiet... he can't believe she finally said yes," Contactmusic quoted a source as having told the tabloid.

"I am in love - Rhys and I are the best of mates and life is going great," Miller recently said.

The two are currently in Los Angeles where Miller is filming her latest movie, 'GI Joe'.
