Wedding planner Bryan dreams of Westlife reunion
By Maureen Coleman
Struggling pop star Bryan McFadden is hoping for a Westlife reunion - when he ties the knot with Australian singer Delta Goodrem.
The Dubliner, who quit the record-breaking boy band in 2004, says he is planning to invite his former Westlife friends to the wedding.
No date has yet been set for the big day but it is expected McFadden will marry his pop star fiancee in 2009.
The father-of-two, who was previously married to Kerry Katona, said: "It's more realistically going to be 2009, due to our massive workload.
"We don't want our wedding to be squeezed in between Delta doing a gig and me shooting a video. We want to have space and time to enjoy it."
The four remaining Westlife members - Mark Feehily, Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan - all attended his first wedding to former Atomic Kitten Kerry.
But McFadden said he was not sure the boys could go this time.
" I'll be inviting them. Whether they come or not is a different matter," he said. "It'll be hard enough to plan a wedding around our schedules, let alone theirs."
Westlife kick off a new tour next month and play a hat-trick of gigs at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on February 25-27.
McFadden left Westlife in 2004 in a shock departure but insisted he had no regrets about leaving.
His first single as a solo artist went top 10 but after that his pop career took a nosedive.
"I don't have any regrets about leaving Westlife and I don't wish I was with them again," he said.
"In saying that, I will be envious when they play Croke Park. That is the pinnacle of any Irish artist's career."
McFadden also said he would love to have children with his girlfriend in the future.
"Right now, we want to enjoy our engagement and be there for each other in life and career," he said.
