According to a source for E! Online:

“Nicole said she doesn’t want the baby to one day grow up and think she and Joel rushed to get married just because she got pregnant. She doesn’t want to get married just to say she did it before the baby was born. She wants to do it according to her own schedule. And it will be done because they are in love, not because they are up against some deadline.”

“It sounded like it could be stressful pulling it all together so quickly. And Nicole said she’d like time to really enjoy planning her wedding.”

Nicole already served her full sentence of 82 minutes of jail time yesterday which entailed a grueling assignment toa cell for 35 minutes!

Another source said that she is postponing the wedding because she doesn’t want to look fat in her wedding dress:

“Nicole doesn’t want to get married when she’s all big and fat. She doesn’t want to have to get one of those dresses with a high waist, you know, just to hide her stomach. She wants to look gorgeous for her wedding photos. She’s been eating a lot. She said she’s always hungry, and she’s never been happier about it!”

The source claims that Nicole and Joel Madden have been actually engaged since last year, long before she found out she was pregnant. The source explained:

“They started wearing matching bands last winter. They just didn’t tell anyone about it. But the bands were supposed to be promise rings. So, as far as Richie is concerned, they’ve been planning to get married since before she was pregnant.”

Well, I don’t blame her for wanting to wait. She doesn’t need to rush into marriage. I just hope she continues to feed herself while she’s pregnant.
