Brody Jenner and his fiancée are treating guests to luxury affair when they wed at the 'world's best resort' this weekend - but have asked for cash to fund their honeymoon.

The Hills star and his wife-to-be Kaitlynn Carter are set to tie the knot in an intimate celebration Saturday at an upscale jungle resort on an Indonesian island.

To offset the hefty price-tag of the big day, they're reportedly requesting money for their 'Honeyfund' - a crowd-funding site -  instead of gifts from their 70 guests.

A source close to the family said the plea was made on the couple's online registry page where other details of the nuptials were shared.

'Instead of asking for gifts, Brody, 34, and Kaitlynn, 29, are asking for money. They are having a "Honeyfund," the source said.  

The two will wed at the spectacular Nihi Sumba - a luxury island resort about 250 miles east of Bali.

After the ceremony, the party will 'follow a candlelit path' to a reception where they'll sip cocktails in the forest, according to the source.

Guests will then enjoy a 'tropical feast' as the sun goes down in the same spot where the couple got engaged in May 2016.

The next day, they will have a BBQ on the beach and watch a movie under the stars.

'Oh my goodness, everyone is so excited. The guests are having the time of their lives. They are in paradise, literally,' the source said.

There's plenty on the island for the party to do besides, including visiting the chocolate factory, literally run by a man named Charly.

They can also check out some traditional Ikat textile weaving, but only the females because it is taboo for the men to watch.

Alternatively they can take part in the Pasola ritual, where priests a black cock to ask the gods if the villagers should attack each other with blunted spears on horseback.

Three invited guests who will not be taking part in any of the fun are Brody's dad Caitlyn, and his little half-sisters Kendall and Kylie.
