An insider said: "It's going to be a very intimate wedding with only immediate family and very, very close friends. It will probably be a destination wedding in a very warm, tropical location."
She added: "Britney's sons are absolutely going to be a part of the ceremony as ring bearers, and Jason has something very special planned for the boys that will take place during the wedding."

This will be the third wedding for the pop singer who rose to fame as a talented teenager with catchy songs and impressive dance routines. Spears married her childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004 with an impromptu wedding in Las Vegas, a quickie marriage that lasted just 55 hours, and later that year she tied the knot with American dancer Kevin Federline in a somewhat more formal ceremony. That marriage lasted a little longer and the couple had two children together but they divorced in 2007.
The insider added: "Britney's sons are absolutely going to be a part of the ceremony as ring bearers, and Jason has something very special planned for the boys that will take place during the wedding."
Spears' father has been her conservator throughout the last few years (ever since she went through an emotional troubled period which saw her loosing custody of her sons) and the pop star is hoping to regain control over her money and settle outstanding lawsuits before she gets married again, now that she has been able to fully recover emotionally after two years and has her career back on track.
