Benedict
Cumberbatch is set to marry his pregnant fiancée Sophie Hunter in a
romantic ceremony today - and is believed to have asked his Sherlock
co-star Martin Freeman to be his best man.
The
intimate wedding will take place in front of close friends and family
in the sprawling grounds of a spectacular period property on the Isle of
Wight.
It
is understood other guests will include actress Keira Knightley, who
starred alongside Cumberbatch in the Imitation Game - the film which has
earned the actor his first Oscar nomination.
Intimate:
Benedict Cumberbatch is to marry fiancée Sophie Hunter, pictured
together at the BAFTAs last week. The wedding will take place in front
of close friends and family at a period property on the Isle of Wight
Close:

best man while actress Keira Knightley, right, who starred alongside
the groom in The Imitation Game, is understood to be among the guests
If
Freeman does step in as Cumberbatch's best man, it will be an echo of
Sherlock - where Cumberbatch's Holmes stood up for Freeman's Watson in
the TV wedding.
News
of the wedding comes just three months after their engagement was
announced in Forthcoming Marriages section of The Times newspaper on
November 5 and four weeks after confirming they are expecting their
first child.
It was previously reported that Sherlock star Benedict, 38, planned to marry theatre director Sophie before she gave birth.
