Perry desperate to introduce Brand to her devout parents

The singer hopes to stage the meeting before she hosts the annual MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin next month,reported Sun online.

“Katy is as besotted with Russell as he is with her. However,her parents are extraordinarily strict Christians.

Katy is sure that,after a bit of getting used to him,they would approve of Russell,but she wants to get that initial meeting out of the way as early as she can,” a source said.

“Keith and Mary are devoted to the church and hold the institution of marriage as a central core of their beliefs.

They are genuinely happy for their daughter,but want to give Russell the once-over to check that he is,in fact,as suitable as Katy claims,” the source added.

Perry has been romantically linked to Russell Brand since their meeting at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards last month. However,it wasn’t until earlier last week that they made their romance public,making an appearance together at a party in Paris.
