London, March 8 (IANS) Singer Robbie Williams has reportedly delayed his wedding with girlfriend Ayda Field after the details of their previous arrangements went public.

According to sources, the 'Bodies' singer and his fiancee initially planned to marry on Valentine's Day, but they changed their plans when information about their nuptials was made public.

The couple is believed to be planning a new intimate ceremony for the end of the year, reports contactmusic.com.

'Robbie and Ayda are desperate to marry and start a new domesticated life together,' said a source.

'But when their first day, Feb 14, escaped into the public domain, Robbie hit the roof. He has played out his relationship with Ayda largely behind closed doors and wanted it to stay that way.'

'They don't want a huge showbiz wedding with glossy magazines in attendance and flashbulbs going off,' the source said.

'So it is vitally important to both of them that it stays private with only a handful of people knowing where and when the event will be,' she added.
