Nicole Kidman has booked her wedding singer - Bette Midler.

The 'Stepford Wives' star - who is due to tie the knot with fiancé, Keith Urban on June 25 - is a big fan of the singer's romantic balled, 'Wind Beneath My Wings'.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "It is Nicole and Keith's special song and she set her mind on getting the original artist to perform it.

"It should get a few people crying into their tissues."

The source added: "Bette and Nicole are very close. They were both born in Hawaii so they have a lot in common."

Midler will sing the track - taken from the soundtrack of the classic weepie 'Beaches' - at the couple's reception.

Meanwhile, Kidman - who only confirmed her engagement to Urban last week - says she still loves ex-husband, Tom Cruise.

The flame-haired star and the 'Mission: Impossible III' actor divorced five years ago after 10 years of marriage, and had two adopted children - 13-year-old Isabella, and Connor, 11. He cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

She revealed: "I loved him and I still love him."
