Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are rumored to be tying the knot in France in a low-key ceremony before the birth of their twins, Metro reports.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie tying the knot in France?

"Brad and Angelina are planning a small wedding to be held within the next couple of weeks and that means having it in France," a source told Grazia.

"Angie is finally convinced that marrying Brad is the right thing to do and he thinks it's the perfect time to do it."

"They want to tie the knot before the twins arrive - which is only a few weeks away - so the clock is ticking."

The couple - who have been in France since the end of April for the Cannes Film Festival - are staying at $25million Villa Maryland, the home of Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will apparently stage a "simple outdoor ceremony" there with a white, floral theme.

Their four children Maddox, six, Pax, four, Zahara, three and Shiloh, two, are also set to play a major role.

Another source said: "The kids will be central to the blessing. Maddox and Pax have contributed to the vows."

"Brad's parents are thrilled that she's come round to the idea of a wedding," said a friend.

"It took a long while for them to accept Angelina, and she hated that people saw her as the one who stole him from Jennifer Aniston, but that's all ancient history now and she's prepared to take the next step."
