BORIS Johnson and his fiancee Carrie Symonds are to marry in July next year, it has been reported.
The couple have sent save-the-date cards to family and friends for an event on Saturday July 30 2022, according to The Sun.
The paper said details of where they will marry remained a secret.
Downing Street and aides to the Prime Minister declined to comment on the report.
The couple announced their engagement – together with the news that they were expecting their first child – in February last year.
The paper suggested they had delayed the wedding until 2022 to ensure it was not disrupted by Covid restrictions.

Currently, a maximum of 30 people are allowed to attend a ceremony or reception in England.
It will be Johnson's third marriage, having finalised his divorce from his second wife Marina Wheeler in 2020.
He and Symonds have a son, named Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson in a tribute to their grandfathers and the doctors who helped save Johnson's life when he was in hospital with Covid-19.
One of the nurses who cared for the Prime Minister recently quit, citing the “lack of respect” the Government has for health workers.
Wilfred, born in April 2020, was the third baby born to a serving prime minister in recent history.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
