After having dated for eight years and bearing two children together, the couple have decided to take the plunge after their daughter Lily-Rose was taken seriously ill last month with E coli food poisoning.

Devoted father Depp halted filming in London for his new movie �Sweeny Todd� so he could stay by Lily�s bedside.

The pair are expected to marry in a chapel in a small French village near their home, about an hour away from St Tropez in the South of France. Sounds like it will be a fairytale wedding with a fairytale Prince Charming.
