Kelly Clarkson To Elope

Kelly Clarkson has admitted she and her fiancé Brandon Blackstock are to elope for their wedding.

The 31-year-old singer made the revelation in an interview with People.com.

She admitted that the couple had become "overwhelmed" with all the planning, in addition to their busy work schedules, and therefore decided to forget their wish to have a lavish outdoor wedding.

She explained: "We are so busy that we finally just came to terms the other night and we like, 'So, we change our minds and we want to elope.' We just got so overwhelmed by it – all the decisions.

"We sent out a save-the-date to everyone and then it got crazy and all the details were leaking. Then, honestly, the planning... I have a Christmas record coming out. I'm doing a bunch of stuff with State Farm right now. We have two kids who just started school. We're going to all these football games and soccer games and volleyball games and Brandon's [manages] one of the biggest artists [Blake Shelton] in country music. He's flying everywhere."

It is now understood the couple will fly to a remote part of the world for a more intimate ceremony, with just Blackstock's two children in attendance.

She added that the couple explained the decision to their families, thanking them for their understanding, but said they would not be throwing a party for their loved ones after they tie the knot.

Clarkson said the couple's "whole life is a celebration", but their friends will celebrate with them when they christen their new family home.

"Our friend is throwing us a party because we're about to wrap up construction at our house. He's throwing us a huge stock-the-bar party, so all of the people who were going to be at our wedding will be there," she concluded.

The couple started dating in February 2012. In December, they announced their engagement.
