Nicole Richie is getting her dream man but not her dream dress. “Nicole visited the Monique Lhuillier store in LA in February and liked a particular ruffled mermaid gown,” a Lhuillier insider tells Life & Style about the $45,000 dress. “But then Molly Malaney ended up wearing it at her wedding to [The Bachelor’s] Jason Mesnick. When Nicole saw the dress on TV on March 8, she had to scrap that idea. Now she wants a completely different look, and who can blame her?”

A serious case of cuteness hit West Hollywood, CA on March 16, 2010 as Nicole Richie departed from Kid Fit with her daughter Harlow Madden and another mom and daughter pair. The two little ones held hand, certainly looking like best friends, while the moms shared a laugh and looked very chummy.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden already have two adorable children together and are preparing to take the next step into married life. The couple recently went on the record announcing their engagement (Nicole sporting a large, sparkling rock), but admitted they had been engaged for a while. This weekend Nicole and Joel embodied the epitome of true Hollywood glamour at the Oscars. So, when is the wedding?

Don’t hold your breath!

The couple is having some difficulty when it comes to planning their nuptials, WENN.com reports.

Joel, who deejayed at Sunday’s Oscars, told reporters he and Nicole have not compromised their separate wedding visions.

“According to her we’ll have a really big wedding,” he said. “According to me, it will be really small.”
