Actress Nicole Kidman will reportedly marry country singer Keith Urban in the dark, to avoid being snapped by the paparazzi.

The couple, who will wed in Kidman's home city of Sydney, Australia this month, have even consulted a local helicopter firm for advice on how to deter snoopers.

Sydney Helicopters boss David Gemmell says, "They were concerned about what access paparazzi could get".

Peter Gibson, of Australia's civil aviation safety authority praises the idea: "Certainly, the cover of darkness would make it difficult if not impossible for the paparazzi to do anything from an airborne position. Miss Kidman is making a very smart move in the circumstances."
