IS ED SHEERAN BUILDING HIS OWN WEDDING CHAPEL?: Ed Sheeran is building a private chapel on the grounds of his countryside mansion in Suffolk, England, according to U.K.’s The Sun. This has led to speculation that he’s planning to marry his fiance, Cherry Seaborn, there. “Even though Ed is one of the world’s biggest stars he does like to do things privately, like his engagement,” a source tells The Sun. “Having his wedding on his own land would mean they could celebrate their big day with just their nearest and dearest and then head back to the main house for a big party after.” Public planning documents obtained by The Sun show designs for the 32-ft tall chapel which would house a congregation of up to 24. The documents were filed in the name of Matthew Seaborn, Cherry’s architect dad.
