In what promises to be the most glamorous nuptials of the season, supermodel Claudia Schiffer is set to marry her millionaire fiancé Matthew Vaughn in Britain on May 25. The German beauty will walk down the aisle in Valentino, surrounded by 300 family members and a flock of high-profile friends, like Sir Elton John, Brad Pitt and Madonna says the German magazine Bunte.

The 31-year-old catwalk queen and her future hubby reportedly want a traditional English wedding and have been busy checking out possible sites for the private affair. Locations the two have considered are said to include Blenheim Palace and Scotland’s Skibo Castle, where Matthew was Guy Ritchie’s best man for his ultra-private wedding to the Material Girl in December, 2000.

Claudia, who has been dating film producer Matthew since November, 2000, may hold the wedding reception at her recently-purchased £4.5 million castle, which is located 60 miles north of London.

With the multi-millionaire couple’s nuptials just a month away, it has been revealed that Claudia won’t be able to count the man thought to be Matthew’s father, Man From Uncle star Robert Vaughn, as one of her in-laws. The 70-year-old actor tells the Daily Mail: “Matthew is not my son.”

When Matthew was born in 1971, it was generally accepted that Robert, who was living with Matthew’s mum Kathy Ceaton at the time, was his father. The Seventies TV star, who has not had contact with Matthew in 20 years, says he soon learned Matthew was not his child. Apparently, the paternity matter was resolved in an LA court in Los Angeles during the Eighties.

“I’m not the father,” says Robert. “It is available at the public records office.”
