Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly set to marry in South Africa this Christmas.

The couple are said to have chosen a small picturesque village just outside Johannesburg to host the intimate ceremony.

Both actors are reportedly determined to keep the traditional affair - which is expected to include tribal African music - as low-key as possible, with only a few selected guests attending.

A source is quoted by the Daily Mail website as saying: "They are treating their marriage like a spiritual affirmation and don't need big Hollywood glitz like Tom Cruise had in Italy."

The limited guest list will apparently include George Clooney and new James Bond star Daniel Craig.

Chat show host Oprah Winfrey is also expected to attend, as she suggested the romantic location to Brad and Angelina after she founded a school in the area.

The betrothed couple have a seven-month-old daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, together and share custody of Angelina's two adopted children, Maddox, five, and 23-month-old Zahara.

Both Brad and Angelina have been married before.

The Troy actor tied the knot with Jennifer Aniston in 2000, but the couple divorced in 2005.

The Tomb Raider actress married British actor Johnny Lee Miller in 1996, but they separated a year later.

In 2000, Angelina married actor Billy Bob Thornton. Their union ended three years later.
