As we welcome in the new year we've started to look ahead at possible celebrity marriages, and according to one betting site, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are the odds-on favourite pair to tie the knot in 2015. Now whilst we wouldn't recommend betting your life savings on these predictions, William Hill does throw up some interesting results. Here are the couples they expect to wed within the year and the odds they're offering.
Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux: 2/1
It comes as no surprise that Jennifer, 45, and Justin, 43, have topped the list, after all they've been engaged since August 2012. But whilst the couple have been plagued with questions about when they'll finally take the plunge, Justin has made it pretty clear that they won't be bowing to public pressure. "There is this hum of pressure that - I can't stress enough - I just don't pay any attention to,” he said. “We're just doing our own thing. We are completely happy, obviously, but we're not on anyone else's timeframe."
But whilst they're happy to plan the wedding around their hectic schedules, it seems the pair have finally decided on a date for the big day. "It's really happening!” A source told the US OK! Magazine in October. “Jen is excited beyond belief. She says it will be the best day of her life." Just don't expect to get any more details out of the Cake star, as the insider explained, "If you try asking, she'll change the subject to keep everybody guessing."

Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger: 2/1
We were surprised to see such good odds on Lewis, 29, and Nicole, 36, especially considering that they're not even engaged! Back in March it was rumoured that the Formula One driver had popped the question after he referred to Nicole as his “wifey” on Instagram. He later took to Twitter to deny the claims, however, posting, “Hey all, need to talk about these rumours. I thought I should let you guys know that I haven't proposed to Nicole.”
The couple have dated on and off since 2007, but whilst she may not have a ring on her finger, that hasn't stopped the Pussycat Dolls singer gushing over her desire to have kids with her boyfriend. Speaking to The Sun back in October she revealed, "Oh my gosh! If I had little English kids with little English accents that would tickle me! I would take them to Hawaii and my family would be like: 'What are they saying?'"

Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman: 2/1
We'll be honest, we don't see Simon, 51, as the marrying kind. Then again, we didn't expect him to be such a doting dad either, so Lauren, 37, might be in with a chance! The pair may have got together under dodgy circumstances - their relationship started whilst Lauren was married – but after welcoming their son Eric in February 2014, the couple have gone from strength to strength.
In a candid interview with The Mirror, the media mogul revealed that he regretted having an affair, but was loving his new life as a boyfriend and father. He also admitted that he wouldn't “rule out” having another child with Lauren and cheekily replied that we would all have to “wait and see” if the pair would ever get married.

These couples seem less likely to tie the knot this year, but the bookmakers have also put odds on FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson at 5/1, Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black at 6/1 and Ellie Goulding And Dougie Poynter at 7/1, although none of these couples are engaged... yet.
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin have also made the list at 10/1. And although they were believed to split, the pair reunited for a dinner date on Tuesday (Dec. 30) sparking rumours that they could be back together again. However, even if the pair did decide to take things to the next level the Coldplay frontman still needs to officially divorce Gwyneth Paltrow, as we're pretty sure a “concious uncoupling” doesn't stand up in a court of law.
Wrapping up the list of possible soon-to-be married celebs were Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney at 25/1 whilst new couple Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger have odds of 33/1.
