Kaif’s family fly in: IANS also reports that despite all the fanfare and speculation about a massive celebration, it might be a very intimate affair with only 120 people attending. “The wedding preparations have been in full swing on his side for quite some time now. It’s going to be a joyous occasion for both sides with both their friends and family getting together to celebrate the couple’s special day,” the source said. “Katrina’s family has also specially flown down from London — her mom, her sisters and brother and her close group of friends. While it’s going to be a private, intimate affair, the celebrations are still going to be grand and they have spared no expense to ensure that they make their special day a memorable one.”
