Pippa Middleton and husband-to-be James Matthews enjoy date night at the Hurlingham Club just two weeks before their wedding
The Duchess of Cambridge's sister and her beau were supporting the ParaSnowBall
JAMES Matthews and Pippa Middleton have stepped out for a date night after putting the final pieces in place for their wedding day in two weeks.
The handsome couple - who have set their wedding date for May 20 - took some time away from wedding prep to enjoy an evening together at the ParaSnowBall at the Hurlingham Club.
The ParaSnowBall is held annually by Disabled Snowsports UK, of which Pippa is a patron.
During the evening, the pair enjoyed a night of winter sports presentations and rubbed shoulders with a series of British Paralympic champions.
James, 40, and Pippa, 34, were beaming as they arrived at the event - with James looking dapper in a suit and dickey bowtie while Pippa opted for a navy blue floral printed dress.
It has been revealed that the pair are shunning a lavish wedding ceremony for an intimate affair at Pippa's local church, St Mark’s Church in Englefield.
The party will be held at her parents’ £6million home in nearby Bucklebury, Berks.
Pippa's niece and nephew - Prince George and Princess Charlotte - will be the couple's page boy and bridesmaid.

Duchess of Cambridge Kate will be accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, as well as Prince Harry at what is set to be one of the most talked about society weddings of recent times.
Royal watchers were expecting the young royals to play an important part at the wedding, with speculation Kate would be her sister's matron of honour - but it seems the Duchess will not be taking on that role.
Pippa leapt into the public consciousness in 2011 when she was Kate's bridesmaid in a figure-hugging Alexander McQueen dress at the royal wedding.
He caught her off-guard by popping the question to her in July, less than a year into their relationship.
James proposed with the hefty octagonal diamond ring, which comes with a central 4 carat Asscher-cut diamond stone, and a price tag to rival sister Kate’s own luxury ring.
With an estimated cost of £200,000, the pricey ring also boasts a halo flawless diamonds around the centre, although it’s unclear who exactly designed it.
The couple had been dating for less than a year, but had moved in together and a thrilled Pippa was said to have been totally surprised by the proposal.
Resident priest Rev Nick Wynne-Jones will officiate at the wedding ceremony, a spokeswoman at St Mark's Church said.
The church dates back to the 12th century and was extensively restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1857.
