Depp set to wed long-time girlfriend

Actor Johnny Depp is reportedly set to wed long-term girlfriend Vanessa Paradis this summer.

British newspaper The Daily Mail report that the couple have toyed with the idea in the past but their daughter Lily-Rose's recent illness has 'spurred them into action',

The couple's seven-year-old was hospitalised in London for nine days in March reportedly suffering from E.coli food poisoning and her condition was touch and go.

The 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' star and Vanessa, 34, kept a vigil at their daughter's bedside. Depp, 43, refused to return to the set of his latest film 'Sweeney Todd' in London until she was out of danger, forcing filming to be stopped.

The Daily Mail quotes a source as saying: "Johnny and Vanessa have one of the strongest relationships in Hollywood but after their daughter was taken ill the family became an even closer-knit unit.

"They have talked about marriage on and off for a long time but the recent emotional roller-coaster they have had to endure seems to have spurred them into action.

Depp and Paradis are expected to marry during the summer in a chapel within the 50-acre grounds of their home in the village of Plan de la Tour, about an hour from St. Tropez in the south of France.
