Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have reportedly decided to postpone their wedding until after the birth of their baby, due in January.

Lionel Richie, has advised her to focus on the baby for now, and then plan the wedding. Lionel is also reported to have promised to pony up for a big wedding, if that’s what his little girl wants…and apparently it is.

Nicole was spotted earlier this week shopping for tuxes and bridesmaid’s dresses. Not for Paris Hilton, though — for her dogs. Nicole has two dogs, a Shih tzu named Honeychild, for whom she purchased a wee tux, and a Pomeranian, Foxxy Cleopatra, who now owns her own bridesmaid’s dress.

No word on whether the other members of the wedding party will match the dogs. Or if there will even BE other members of the wedding party. Or — let’s be honest — if there will actually be a wedding at all.
