Siva Kaneswaran and Nareesha McCaffrey will tie the knot in 2015
The Wanted’s Siva Kaneswaran reveals he’ll throw a Great Gatsby-style wedding with Nareesha McCaffrey. The Wanted singer – who has moved from London to Los Angeles this summer to relaunch his career – will wed his girlfriend of six years, 26-year-old shoe designer Nareesha McCaffrey, in 2015.’With everything going on this year we are both so busy,’ the 25-year-old hit maker told MailOnline exclusively. ‘So we will get married next year, probably in Europe.’And those reports that he will have a Star Wars themed wedding? ‘That’s only partially true,’ added the former model with a laugh.
In July TMZ reported that Siva ‘wore down’ his fiancée of nine months, even demanding she wear a Princess Leia dress. Not the white gown Carrie Fisher wore in the first Star Wars film, but rather the bondage style slave dress from 1983’s Return Of The Jedi. ‘That was a funny story,’ Kaneswaran told MailOnline. ‘But kind of ridiculous.’ He added, ‘I want to incorporate Star Wars into the wedding, but I won’t go that far.’Instead, he will let Nareesha choose her own dress for the big day. ‘She wants to look like a princess and is more interested in a Cinderella type of wedding which is perfectly fine and understandable,’ Siva admitted. ‘I would never make her wear a slave dress.’ The feel of the wedding will be classic. ‘It will be grand, more like The Great Gatsby,’ Siva told MailOnline. ‘It will be elegant.’
And the event will most likely take place in Europe. ‘We are looking at venues now but it depends on the timing,’ the Show Me Love singer said. ‘Europe would be good because then the travel would be easier.’ As far as the timing, it’s intentional. ‘We have slowed down everything, we don’t want to rush into a big wedding,’ the Chasing The Sun singer said. ‘Nareesha and I are taking a breather because we have so much going on in our careers,’ he added.
‘We have been so busy that we realized that we haven’t had a chance to enjoy our engagement. We are enjoying new life in Hollywood. We are also focused on house hunting.’ The star – whose band The Wanted split in January – noted, ‘Everyone has been asking us about the wedding, and we are excited, and have spent a good amount of time on the details of it, but we want to spend some time together before we get into the wedding madness.
‘There is already so much madness in our life that planning such an important event is not something we don’t want to worry to much about at the moment. ‘It will happen, and when it does it will be great, but we want to spend our summer in LA focusing on building our life here.’ Siva proposed to Nareesha in November during his birthday with an engagement ring that he had specially designed. Siva then revealed his big plans while in California. ‘We decided to come back to Hollywood because it’s the best place for me to work on my solo album and develop my acting career.
I have already been offered acting roles, but I am focusing on studying acting and working hard to hone my skills before I jump into films.’ Siva and Nareesha live in a rental in Los Angeles with their poodle Mylo. ‘This is an exciting journey for us,’ Siva told MailOnline. ‘It’s a new stage. We love being outdoors and in the sun, being active. It’s a good place for us. ‘I am very grateful to my British and American fans for all their support as I make this move.’ Kaneswaran, who is half Irish and half Sri Lankan, told MailOnline his relationship works so well with the beauty because she is ‘a perfect woman.’ ‘She is compassionate, nice, tough, independent, loving, hot,’ the Gold Forever singer said. ‘She has good morals and she is a very good cook. That is a very important thing. She makes an excellent curry.’
