It's (soon-to-be) official, folks: Shahid Kapoor, the man with the puppy dog eyes and killer dimples, is set to be a married man. He's tying the knot with a Mira Rajput, who's become a minor celebrity in her own right since news of their engagement broke some moons ago.

Their nuptials are scheduled for Tuesday, July 7 in Delhi — it's rumoured to be a small, intimate affair, but they're not skimping on style, judging from the invitation card:

Here's 5 more things to know about the Shahid-Mira (Sha-Mi? Mi-Sha?) wedding:

1. The wedding has been arranged by Shahid's dad!

A Bollywood star letting his Abbu jee pick his bride? Who would have guessed? But Mira Rajput is the choice of Shahid's father, Pankaj Kapoor and Shahid and Mira's mutual spiritual guru helped arranged the match.

2. All three of Shahid's moms will be attending!

A teary-eyed mom is a staple at every wedding, but Shahid will be blessed by the presence of three! According to Times of India, his biological mother, Neelima Azim, will not only be joined by Shahid's step-mother, Pankaj Kapoor's current wife, Supriya Pathak, but also the current wife of Azim's ex-husband, Vandana Sanjani. Sanjani said that Azim's ex-husband Rajesh and she think of Shahid as a son because Rajesh did raise Shahid when the actor was younger. Talk about one big happy family.

3. There's a 13 year age difference between Shahid and Mira!

Match made in heaven?

According to Hindustan Times, Shahid is 34 and Mira Rajput is 21. Still, the two wasted no time in falling for each other, once the match was arranged. Just look at how cute they look!

4. The wedding is a small, intimate affair, but all of Shahid's exes are invited!

You'd think former flames wouldn't make the cut for a private wedding function, but that's not the case for the Sha-Mi wedding. Bebo was one of the first to receive an invite for the reception, and rumour has it that Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan and Sonakshi Sinha are also attending. "As he begins a new chapter in his life, he wants to seek the good wishes of people who have been a part of his journey," reports Pinkvilla.

5. Shahid's cancelled his bachelor party and hasn't planned a honeymoon!

All work and no play? Shahid's boy gang had planned a party for him in Greece, but the busy actor was too tied up in work commitments to attend. And he's heading straight back to work after the wedding — no destination honeymoon for this couple!
