Mr and Mrs: Isla and her fiance Sacha Baron Cohen hope to wed soon

'It is very important to me to have a beautiful ritual celebrated with all my family and friends and to feel part of a community. And when you are in the public eye, to keep that private and to make it happen without it being really visible is really difficult.'

The couple announced their engagement in 2004 after dating for two years, but put their wedding on hold after Isla became pregnant with Olive.

After her hilarious appearance in Wedding Crashers, Isla's Hollywood career has taken off so with balancing motherhood and her film roles, the wedding plans have taken a back seat until now.



In the interview, Isla denied reports she was still studying to convert from Methodist to Judaism.

The former Home And Away star said: 'I converted as of two years ago. It is always reported that I am still studying, so I am either the slowest studier in the world, or I have, in fact, converted.'

When asked how she feels about taking on her Hebrew name Ayala or 'Doe', she said: 'I never saw it as a losing or gaining situation, just an embracing situation.

'I think if one wanted to be buried next to one's beloved and they were Jewish, then one would have to be Jewish, too.'

When the couple do make it down the aisle, it will be guaranteed to a star-studded event.

Sacha and Isla count Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Sheryl Crow and Laura Dern amongst their close circle of famous friends.

Isla's new movie, adapted from Sophie Kinsella's best-selling novel, is set for release in the UK on February 20.

Isla admits she is regularly mistaken for other Hollywood redheads Amy Adams and Debra Messing and will use this to her advantage if the film isn't a hit.

She said: 'If Shopaholic is a hit, then it was Isla Fisher in the movie, and if it doesn't work out, it was Amy Adams.'
