Minnillo Denies Italian New Year Wedding Plans

Nick Lachey's and fiancé Vanessa Minnillo have denied rumours that they planned to marry in Tuscany, Italy over New Years.

The couple became engaged in November and Lachey sparked speculation he was rushing down the aisle by commenting on the possibility of tying the knot while on vacation in Europe over the holiday season.

However, Minnillo has dismissed the claims, because they have yet to even discuss wedding dates. She told Hollyscoop.com, "He was joking. We're not getting married in Italy.

"I feel irresponsible for not having a date, but someone made a great point: When you're dating, everyone is always asking when you're getting engaged. When you're engaged, everyone is always asking when you're getting married. When you get married they start asking when you're going to get pregnant.

"Instead of keeping up with the Jones', we're just enjoying it."
