She is always such a beautiful woman.

Zara Phillips has fuelled rumours that she is to marry her England rugby star boyfriend after they bought new £800,000 home together.

The Queen's granddaughter and Mike Tindall bought the five-bedroom mansion in Gloucestershire in April and have spent £250,000 renovating it.

[Roslyn]

With this couple, I think it is a question of when, not if. They are obviously great mates and seem very happy together. Zara will be a beautiful bride.

 

[Zonk]

I can't believe they have been dating for like six years! Where has the time gone?

Thats a big investment and a nice house. But no place for the horses? Is it far from her mothers home...maybe she will leave them there?

 

[Ella Kay]

I think it's fairly close to Gatcombe Park. From what I've read, it's also much closer to public transport than their secluded cottage -- important for Mike, because he cannot drive to work after his drink driving conviction.

"I don't think it is about whether we will get married, but when," says the England rugby player, who met the granddaughter of theQueen in 2003. "There is no doubt that I love Zara, but it has to be the right time.

[Marsel]

That's probably the clearest indication todate that Mike and Zara are going to settle down soon.
And good for them: they look like a great couple, have spent many years together and know each other well.

If I were a betting person, I’d be prepared to wage quite a large sum on a wedding by this time next year.

 

[Skydragon]

It looks as if you could be right!

They have bought a new £800,000 home together and have been dating for six years.
So there has been plenty of speculation about when the Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips, 28, and rugby ace Mike Tindall will wed.

Now, the England and Gloucester player has confirmed they will marry and that they expect a lavish white wedding.

That are exciting news I wonder if they will announce an engagement this year. Whenever you see them together, you can see that they are really in love and it really has been a good while since they are a couple - six years.

Davina, Rose, Peter, Freddie and now maybe soon Zara - this whole generation seems in wedding-fever

[rominet09]

I wonder what they are waiting for... I love that couple

 

[mktv2000]

Old Fashioned

I love how they always say they are both 'traditional' or 'old-fashioned' and want to get married and have kids in that order. There is something very sweet about that. Mike is 30 now, so I have a feeling they will get engaged soon - something about leaving your 20's behind. Either way - they are a lovely couple, I wish them all the best.

[Ella Kay]

I don't associate 'old fashioned' and 'traditional' with a couple who live together before they are actually married. That is a very modern practice.

The 'old-fashioned' and 'traditional' idea was get to know each other, get engaged, get married, move into together and then start a family.

These two have got to know each other then moved in together and are yet to do the other three in the order having moved Step 4 to Step 2.

Oh I really hope they do get married next summer. That would be fantastic!

 

[iowabelle]

I wonder if we shouldn't look for a spring or early summer wedding. But I don't know if William would want to announce his engagement before Zara gets married. The trickiness of royal calendars!

Within the one royal family it would be unusual for two such senior members (namely grandchildren of the monarch) to both be engaged at the same time.

If Zara is to marry next year then I would expect William's engagement to be delayed until after Zara is married and vice versa. If William announced his engagment tomorrow for a wedding next June I wouldn't expect Zara to announce her engagement until late next year.

More Zara news this week - upcoming equestrian competition (with a funny quote from her dad) at Gatcombe Park. She also was in a charity regatta this week.

Zara back to her sporting ways

Clarification - his quote isn't funny...it is just funny that her dad is quoted in the article talking about the stiff competition.

 

[ada]

Please stop the 'Zara/Mike lovely couple' talk. Who else out there would like to see Zara with somebody other than Mike?
