( CNN ) -- George Clooney sees no reason to keep his upcoming nuptials hush-hush . At a celebrity charity event in Tuscany , Italy over the weekend , the 53-year-old actor spilled a few details about his impending marriage to British human rights attorney Amal Alamuddin . According to People magazine , Clooney was receiving a humanitarian award at the black-tie gala , and said during his acceptance speech , `` I met my lovely bride-to-be here in Italy , whom I will be marrying , in a couple of weeks , in Venice , of all places . '' The actor was of course accompanied at the soiree , called Celebrity Fight Night , by his 36-year-old fiancee . With Clooney 's documented penchant for pranks , it 'll be interesting to see whether he was telling the truth about his wedding plans -- or perhaps just playing a joke on any eager paparazzi . Since the couple became engaged in the spring , they 've been largely protective of their relationship . When a Daily Mail report claimed that Clooney and his future mother-in-law were at odds , Clooney blasted the publication with a first-person piece in USA Today , and then refused to accept the Daily Mail 's subsequent apology .
