Sacha Baron Cohen and fiancee Isla Fisher have been forced to postpone their wedding since the actress hasn't yet to convert to Judaism.

It was such an unfortunate that Sacha Baron Cohen and fiancee Isla Fisher have been forced to postpone their wedding. The couple, who initially planned to walk down the aisle summer later this year, have to delay the nuptials because Isla hasn't yet converted herself to Sacha's faith of Judaism.

A source close to the couple told Mail Online, "Isla was supposed to spend her time after giving birth hard at work on her Torah studies, and that's gone far slower than expected. It's very much frustrated her future in-laws, especially Sacha's parents, who were really hoping for a wedding this summer." The source went on, "Right now there's no wedding date set because Isla hasn't fully converted yet, and even though she's working at it part-time, she's far from being close to completing her studies."

According to the source, Isla has a tense relationship with Sacha's mother, Daniella. "What made relations difficult between Isla and Sacha's mother is that she really wanted Isla to spend more time with the baby and their family in England instead of being hasty and returning to work so quickly," the source revealed. The actress has spent most of this summer filming her upcoming project "Confessions of a Shopaholic". "Now that Isla's done shooting, she's in the awkward position of making up for lost time," the source continued.

As for Sacha, who welcomed a daughter together with Isla last year, he is not worried about the relationship between his parents and Isla as everyone else is because he's "extremely devoted to her and their child." The source added, "He also believes that putting too much pressure on Isla is only going to make the wedding happen later rather than sooner. He is happy taking his time to get married the same way he was happy having a long engagement."
