Mena Suvari

Mena Suvari flew to Italy on Thursday to plan her 2010 wedding to Simone Sestito, after deciding her fiancé’s homeland is the perfect place to walk down the aisle, imdb.com reports.

Mena Suvari accepted the music producer/promoter’s proposal during a Jamaican vacation last summer. She admits she knew she wanted “a nice, big, traditional Italian wedding” as soon as Sestito whisked her off to Italy for a romantic break early on in their relationship.

“We want to marry in Italy. There is a lot of planning we want to do. We were there in August, and everything was closed in August, so we want to look at a lot of cathedrals and find a place,” Survari tells People.com.

Mena Suvari is engaged to music producer/concert promoter Simone Sestito, who proposed during their vacation to Jamaica, her reps tell PEOPLE.

The 29-year-old actress met Sestito last year at the Toronto International Film Festival while Suvari was promoting her film Stuck. No wedding date has been set.

“They’re taking their time planning the wedding,” says a source close to the actress. “They are in no rush.”

Mena Survari will be seen in the Lifetime movie Murder in Sin City in September, and in the period piece Garden of Eden later this year.

Mena Suvari strolls with her new man, Simone Sestito. She is supposedly dating this Italian-American dancer. He looks like a nice fella.
After strolling through the streets of Rome, hand-in-hand, Mena and Simone were picked up by some of his relatives. Meeting the family already?
