As for wedding planning, the "Here's To Never Growing Up" singer said she was the one taking control — which her fellow Canadian beau, 38, didn't mind at all.

"I've been doing it, I'm the girl," she laughed. "I'm the one who has the crazy vision and he's letting me be me. It's a lot and I just want to make sure I really enjoy this amazing time."

She added, "I want all the guests who come to have this once in a lifetime experience and I want everyone to say 'Wow!' and for it to be special for everyone, not just us."
