Just imagine the cuteness

After acting as her sister's maid of honour at the Royal Wedding in 2011, Pippa Middleton and James Matthews have reportedly set a date for their own big day.

According to The Telegraph, Pippa will marry the hedge fund manager in May of next year. The couple are thought to be tying the knot near her family's country pile in Berkshire - where the reception will follow later - whilst the newspaper also reports that 'save the date' cards have already been sent out to guests.

The couple got engaged back in the summer after a year of dating, and shortly afterwards Pippa Middleton was spotted wearing a completely divine 4-carat octagonal diamond engagement ring. But naturally, there's one question about the wedding that's on everyone's lips: Will her adorable nephew and niece Prince George and Princess Charlotte play any role in the day's proceedings?

Well, hold on to your (wedding) hats folks, as the answer looks like it's a yes: The Daily Mail has reported that the cute royal children will play flower girl and a page boy respectively, on the big day.

However, according to The Telegraphthe Duchess of Cambridge will not be a bridesmaid for her sister, so as not to take any of the attention away from the bride – which is kind of sweet, really. Although it does beg the question: Will James' younger brother, Made in Chelsea's Spencer Matthews, have some sort of role?

And who is designing the wedding gown, we hear you ask? We don't know for sure yet, but according to the Daily Mail, there is some speculation that designer Giles Deacon may be designing Pippa's dress as he was recently seen taking garment bags into the couple's London home.

One thing is for sure, the big day will come around very quickly for the happy couple. We're already excited to see the wedding pictures!
