The 'Bridget Jones' Diary' actress has been dating the guitarist for over two years and the couple are ready to show their commitment to one another by making their union official.

A source said: "Renée and Doyle are crazy in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together.

"She's told close friends to keep mid-August free."

Renee - whose four-month marriage to singer Kenny Chesney was annulled in September 2005 - is planning a beach wedding with just a small number of guests.

The source added to America's OK! magazine: "The whole thing will be very anti-Hollywood,"

The 46-year-old actress recently gushed about how "sweet" she thinks Doyle is.

She said: "Isn't he cute? He's a very sweet man. I'm very, very happy right now.

"I'm great. I'm busy. I'm happy."

While the couple only started dating in 2013, they have been friends since they were students at the University of Texas, Austin in the 1990s.

A source previously said: "Renee was ecstatic about finding love again with an old friend. She knew Doyle's a good, solid guy, and she easily imagined starting a family with him."
