Britney Spears’ wedding to Jason Trawick will be delayed until later this year because her attorneys want to first settle the lawsuit Sam Lutfi has filed against the pop star and her parents, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting. A trial date of September 11, 2012 has been formally set and the trial is expected to last approximately 12 days.

As previously reported, lawyers for Brit's conservatorship have so far been successful in keeping her from being deposed or being called as a witness in the ongoing lawsuit, but feel that would change should she marry in the meantime. Lutfi worked as Britney’s manager at the height of her very public meltdowns, and is suing her for breach of contract and her parents for libel and defamation.

"Lawyers for Britney's conservatorship have been successful in keeping her from being deposed in the Lutfi litigation,” a source close to the situation tells Breaking Celebrity News. “She could get married under the conservatorship, but the judge would have to sign off on it. If that were to happen, lawyers repping Lutfi would absolutely go into court and argue that if Britney were able to get married, she should be able to be deposed. There is no way Team Spears is going to let that happen.”
