In our opinion, the most recent pictures of Nicole Kidman showed a little bit more of a belly bump than this usually scary skinny actress sports. Which leads us to conclude that's the real reason the Australian pair is getting married this weekend.

According to "reports," Kidman and Urban have spent nearly £200,000 on booking 120 rooms in the Intercontinental Hotel in Sydney, overlooking the harbor, for family and friends, and have also gone out of the way to give their guests a £200 "credit" for the mini-bar and other services.

A source close to Nicole has revealed: "She and Keith are making sure the guests want for nothing. They're arranging for a day spa and salon for the party so all the girls can arrive looking fabulous."

But despite all this, the hotel does not get rave reviews. Citing everything from poor service to old rooms, guests aren't keen to consider this place a five-star spot.

The hotel is older and seems to have been refurbished. We rejected the room we were initially offered because it overlooked a roadway and was quite loud.

The bathroom was not renovated and seemed old compared to the room. The bathroom's level of cleanliness was not up to par with the other deluxe hotels in Sydney (ground-in-dirt in the shower, moldy shower curtain liner).

The lack of a customer service attitude was disappointing and is probably what prevents the hotel from earning a better reputation.

Perhaps being mindful of another mouth to feed in the coming months, the Kidman-Urban family decided they had to pinch pennies somewhere.
