Paris Hilton has reportedly dumped her fiancé of the same name after it was revealed he had neglected to tell his parents of the impending nuptials.
The oversight came to light two weeks ago at a special engagement party the Hilton heiress had arranged for her family and that of her husband-to-be, Paris Latsis.
It seems incredible news of the wedding had not filtered through to Greece, where the billionaire Latsis family live, but one set of guests at the intimate family get together did seem a little confused, British tabloid News of the World reported yesterday.
The father of the secretive groom-to-be, Grigoris Kasidokstas, has now refused to allow his son to marry and Paris Hilton, who is said to be mortified, has ditched Paris.
"It was like a bad scene out of Meet The Parents," a source told the newspaper.
"Two of the world's richest families meet to celebrate their kids' engagement, but one set of parents know nothing about it.
"Grigoris also thinks his son is too young to be tying the knot and has cast doubts on how serious the relationship is. It's all very embarrassing.
"It wasn't that Paris didn't want to tell his parents. He just never got round to doing it properly. But if he wants Paris back he'll have to do a lot of grovelling."
