Punk pop songstress Avril Lavigne and Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley are expected to tie the knot this weekend in California, according to reports.

Friends and family of the famously private duo were reportedly notified of the plan weeks ago, when they were advised to book tickets immediately for California, CTV's eTalk reported earlier this month.

The pair own a house together in Los Angeles' ultra-rich Bel-Air neighbourhood.

Earlier reports had suggested the wedding would take place in late August, but intense media attention apparently prompted the couple to move up the date.

According to unconfirmed reports, Lavigne's bachelorette bash was at the end of June.

The risqué gifts were said to include a sexy bra, two sets of black panties with "The Mrs." embroidered in hot pink, and some handcuffs. (source:ctv.ca)
