"You can expect the Obamas," says the source, adding that David and Victoria Beckham plus Sir Paul McCartney are also on the list. One famous (former) British royal, however, will not get the coveted invitation: "Sarah Ferguson will not be invited," the source says of Prince Andrew's ex-wife.

And while Simon Cowell has suggested that Susan Boyle sing the 28-year-old couple down the aisle, the insider shoots down that possibility, quipping, "They don't want this to become X Factor."
