JLS singer Aston Merrygold revealed his bandmates will have 'special roles to play' on his wedding day.
The star, 34, is preparing to marry his former backup dancer Sarah Richards, 38, after he proposed to her on Christmas Eve in 2017.
Aston and Sarah initially wanted a low-key wedding but they decided to supersize it after Covid kept them away from friends and family.
"I would have been happy with a register office and Sarah would have too, but we both realised during Covid that we want our wedding to be a party," he explained.
"We want to celebrate with all our loved ones. The JLS boys have all got special roles to play on the day, although I haven’t told them what they are yet."
The couple currently have 150 people on the guest list.
Aston told OK! Magazine : "We didn’t want day guests then evening guests – if we’re going to do it, we’re going to invite everyone for the whole day. It’s the whole experience for us."
Meanwhile, he has lined up his two sons, Grayson, four, and Macaulay, two, as best men.
Earlier this month, Aston sat down for a chat with Mirror and revealed he and Sarah are getting married in England soon.
“JLS boys have their duties for the day but none of them are my best men. My two little boys are going to take that role, and then one of my best friends since I was 13. I’ve put a few feelers out there to performers to see if anyone is available and I’m still waiting to hear," he said.
“Adele would be pretty good. She has a lot of heartbreak songs, but I’m sure she can put a spin on some of them.

“It would be very expensive to book JLS. Maybe there will be a couple of tunes if I can persuade them to jump on the mic. Karaoke is a must at a wedding – when everyone is absolutely battered.”
Back in April, Aston appeared on Good Morning Britain and joked about not wanting more children.
He said: "[Being a dad is the] best thing ever. Best job ever. It gives me reason to get up."
The singer was then asked if he plans on having any more children, to which he answered: "No. I can't chase three. Two is good for me."
