Russell Brand and Katy Perry are set to get married this weekend in India. According to reports, Brand refuses to sign a prenuptual agreement before the ceremony. During a recent New York Times event, Brand stated that he does not want anything to spoil the big day, including a legal contract that will protect his assets in the event of a divorce. Brand states "[i]t ain't about selling the pictures, it ain't about doing no pre-nup," "It's like a normal thing."
Brand also stated "I'm trying to preserve and make it a beautiful thing," Brand said at the New York Times event. "I want to make our wedding just about me and her loving each other. We want to get married in front of our friends and family and keep it normal."
Given the slew of celebrity break-ups this past year alone, it wouldn't be a bad idea if Brand changed his mind and decided to have Perry execute a prenuptual agreement. However, considering their wedding is this weekend, pursuant to California law, they would not have sufficent time to enter into an agremeent even if he wanted to. Perry would need at least seven calendar days to review the agreement upon its final presentation to her. That's not going to happen if these two intend to marry this weekend.
The couple also have an opportunity to enter into a post-nuptual agreement if they want to enter into an agreement on how to divide their marital estate in the event of a divorce.
