Zayn Malik, Perrie Edwards Wedding News & Rumors: Married Before Christmas 2013? 'Sonner Rather Than Later,' 1D Hunk 'Determined to Stay Strong' w/ Fiancee

One Direction recently announced that the group's third studio album, "Midnight Memories," would hit shelves on November 25. This of course means the boys will be extremely busy in the months after the record's release. That said, recently engaged member Zayn Malik is definitely feeling the pressure according to sources saying the 20-year-old plans to marry his Little Mix fiancée Perrie Edwards in the next couple of months. So it looks like we can be seeing a wedding before Christmas!

Zayn and his One Direction band members are currently getting ready for their Australia and New Zealand legs of their current "Take Me Home" world tour, but once "Midnight Memories" is released, the boys will head out on their first worldwide stadium tour. This has a huge effect on Zayn and Perrie's time together. 

"They're dreading the long separation when the band go to Australia and New Zealand early next year," a source revelaed. "Zayn flew back regularly when they were in the States but won't be able to do it as often from there. Perrie is planning to visit but they're going to be spending a long time apart, which they think will be eased if they tie the knot."

The insider added: "Ideally, they want to be married for Christmas."

This source also revealed the young couple's original wedding plans, too:

"They'd originally decided they wanted to fit in a wedding between October and May, but they're so excited, they want to do it sooner rather than later. Zayn is talking about where they could get wed. It's looking like it will be on a beach somewhere exotic and they'll fly everyone out there."

Since Zayn and Perrie will have to deal with some separation in the new year, the 1D hunk has reassured his fiancée of his commitment in numerous ways.

"Zayn has assured Perrie that, when they get some time off next year," a source said. "He will spare no expense to fly her to wherever he is, or he will come to her. Money is no object to him when it comes to being together."
