Celebrity photographer Tyler Shields has told RadarOnline.com that the wedding of Backstreet Boy A.J. Mclean and girlfriend Rochelle Deanna Karidis will be one of the craziest celebrity weddings ever.
Shields - who is a close friend of Mclean’s – will preside as the minister at the December 17, ceremony that has been dubbed the “I Do Or Die wedding” between the pair.
Shields told RadarOnline.com Online.com: “I’m much more nervous about being the minister than when I’m taking photographs of young Hollywood.
“But I can promise people there will be plenty of surprises and it will be one of the craziest celebrity weddings ever.
“A.J. is a friend of mine and I’m really pleased for them both and thrilled to be a part of their big day.”
The couple is still busy planning the event which will include plenty of big name stars.
Millionaire performer McLean has credited long-time girlfriend Karidis as the person who helped him beat his drug addiction.
Mclean previously wrote on his Twitter account: “I really miss and love @rochelle_deanna you are my whole world and I cannot wait to spend my life with you. W out u here I am lost!”
The couple previously postponed their wedding date after A.J. checked into rehab earlier this year.
