Matthew McConaughey to marry Camila Alves this weekend

Matthew McConaughey is set to marry Camila Alves this weekend.

The Magic Mike actor is planning to tie the knot with his long term partner - with whom he has three-year-old son Levi and two-year-old daughter Vida - in a special ceremony in Texas.

According to E! News just two dozen clothes friends and relatives have been invited to the "cosy" celebration, with those working at the event signing a nondisclosure contract.

Camila was due to be honoured at the Step Up Women's Network event in Beverly Hills but instead sent a video message so she could remain close to the wedding plans.

Matthew, 42, recently moved his family back to Austin, Texas because he loves the laid-back vibe of the city and enjoys a level of anonymity he cannot achieve elsewhere.

He said: "No one recognises you and no one asks you, 'Hey, what do you do?,' because I don't think anyone cares. Fridays show up sooner here. You want to get along in Austin, you want to get along in Texas, all you have to do is be yourself."
