Charlize Theron has no intention of getting married - and is happy being single.

The 'Monster' star, who was bridesmaid at her mother's wedding last weekend, said although she has no plans to tie the knot with boyfriend of five years, actor Stuart Townsend, she is madly in love.

The 30-year-old said at the premiere of new movie 'North County': "I'm happy for people who want to get married. But it's not my thing."

Charlize's newly-married mom fatally shot her alcoholic father when he threatened the family in a drunken rage in 1990.

Last month, Charlize told Oprah Winfrey on her American TV chat show: "I'm extremely happy in my relationship. Although we disagree constantly he's the best thing that's ever happened to me. "Five years later I can't stop talking to him."
