Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Enjoy Pre Wedding Mini Break In The UK

Engaged couple spotted in the British countryside

They're said to be gearing up for their long-awaited wedding but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie still found time to enjoy a romantic mini break in the British countryside in recent weeks.
The couple took time out from their six children to reportedly enjoy some grown-up time in the UK at the end of last month.
According to Life & Style, Brad and Ange checked into the exclusive Coworth Park hotel in Ascot, Berkshire on November 30. The couple reportedly stayed one night at the five star retreat, even enjoying a cosy meal in the posh restaurant:
“They had a romantic dinner at the restaurant,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style.
“It was just the two of them. They ordered red wine and were dressed up a bit, like they wanted to look good for each other.”
The romance didn't stop there as after the meal, Brad and Ange retreated to the private Dower House, a private two-story, three-bedroom cottage on the hotel’s grounds.
“I saw them again the next morning,” the source reports. “They looked like they’d just rolled out of bed! It was so cute.”
Brad and Angelina's life could be set to get a whole lot more romantic with the news that the A list couple have picked up their wedding bands.
According to In Touch magazine, on November 27 a stylist for the actress picked up wedding rings from Neil Lane jewellers for the couple. The day before, Brad said in an interview that they will be saying ‘I do” soon: “It’ll be soon — the time is right.”
