Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are reportedly engaged to be married.

‘The Simple Life’ star and the Good Charlotte frontman almost tied the knot in Las Vegas’ on February 17, but decided to get Nicole’s adoptive dad Lionel Richie’s blessing first.

“They picked out matching silver and diamond rings at a jewellery boutique in Caesar’s Palace and then headed to the Little White Wedding Chapel where the hovered outside for ages, a snitching source dished.

“But Nicole wanted her dad’s blessing so they went straight to see him when they got back to Los Angeles.”

And J.M was reportedly very frightened at the prospect of having to asking the former Commodore for his little girl’s hand in marriage.

The source added: “Joel was nervous but he was greeted with open arms and a
big hug from Lionel, who thanked him for everything he has done for Nicole.”

The pair are now planning to marry in front of their close family and friends at Mexico’s Las Ventanas resort in Cabo San Lucas.

“It would be a small ceremony with under 100 people.”

So what do you guys think, how long would a marriage between these two last?
