Talk about your fun weddings....
After the ceremony, do you suppose they'll pass out glow sticks or helium-filled balloons in lieu of bubbles? Because that would be so cool....Klaxons' Simon Taylor and CSS' Lovefoxxx are engaged to be married.The couple, who met on the Shockwaves NME Awards Indie Rave Tour earlier this year, had previously fuelled rumours of an imminent engagement after Taylor discussed his wish to settle down with his girlfriend in the tabloids.
Now CSS' drummer, Adriano Cintra, has revealed that the couple are engaged to be married. He told Xfm: "They're the happiest couple of MySpace. They're gonna get married, it's not a rumour. They're gonna have baby CSS-Klaxons, it's gonna be beautiful."
The couple are yet to announce a date for the wedding.

No comment
Veteran rockers The Charlatans gave fans a taste of their forthcoming 10th studio album at a tiny show at London's Cuckoo club.
The View, Klaxons and Carl Barat were at the gig, filmed for Rockworld TV. Singer Tim Burgess told us: "It was mayhem." Mental...

HAHAHAHA
Klaxons have certainly being celebrating their Nationwide Mercury
Music Prize win last night (September 4) hard - as it spilled onto breakfast TV this morning.
The band were set to appear on BBC News 24 at 8.30am BST, but turned up at the studio still to drunk to appear, leaving NME's New Music Editor Alex Miller to go on air for them - and according to those who saw it he "wasn't much more sober".
Arriving for the broadcast, the news channel were warned by the BBC's reception they were still merry as they arrived.
Picking our man - who spent the night partying with the band - to go on instead, he "dissed" presenter Kate Silverton's hairdo, saying she looked like she had just got out of bed, before explaining that the band were with him but were too drunk to go on TV.
You've done us proud Alex.
However more fun continued in the green room, with the band member Jamie Reynolds yelling "I've got 20 grand in my pocket," and then kept shouting "there I am" every time a clip of the band appeared on the various news channels being shown while almost falling off his crutches.
Expect a full update when we finally get in touch with our man Miller - actually, if anyone sees him can you let us know?

Ooooo
ARCTIC Monkeys frontman Alex Turner is forming his very own supergroup. And the band - made up of Lily Allen, Dizzee Rascal and James Righton of Klaxons -have already recorded some songs.
Alex told us backstage at Glastonbury: "It's definitely happening. We're recording an album. It will be out before you know it." Alex worked with Dizzee on his fab album Maths And English. And Dizzee teamed up with Lily on his hit Wannabe. The three roped in James during a fancy-dress do in the VIP bar. An insider tells us: "Their fans won't know what's hit them."
