GWEN Stefani and Blake Shelton are “ready to get married” just two months after their engagement.
The couple apparently also doesn’t want a “huge wedding.”
Sources close to the family told PEOPLE that the couple is tired of waiting to finally call themselves husband and wife.
The source revealed: “This won’t be a long engagement.
“There is a reason why Blake proposed now. They are both ready to get married.”
The insider added that the coaches of The Voice “don’t want a huge wedding.
“They want their family and close friends to attend and that’s it.”
This new development in their wedding plans comes just days after it was also revealed that they plan to get married in a chapel on their Oklahoma ranch, where they had been quarantined for the majority of the pandemic.
A source told Us Weekly that Blake, 44, has even had a chapel built on the grounds there.
“He did it himself with help,” the insider said, adding that Gwen, 51, offered “input” on the new construction and future venue for the wedding.
The source continued: “It’s really a tribute to their love. They are going to get married in the chapel, most likely early next year.”
Since the longtime couple shared the news of their engagement a couple of months ago, the two have reportedly been having talks about a prenuptial agreement.
The process has been taking “a few months” but overall “has been extremely effortless.”
Gwen and Blake started dating in 2015 while spending time together as coaches on The Voice after both splitting from their respective spouses – Gavin Rossdale and Miranda Lambert.
Aside from dealing with trying to plan a wedding amid a pandemic and still settling into their new home together in Los Angeles, the No Doubt singer is also still working on her pending annulment from Gavin.
The exes share three sons – Kingston, 14, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, six.
In March 2019, Gwen started the “formal process” of having the Catholic Church annul her marriage.
Now, a source updated the outlet: “The Vatican has also indicated, informally, that Gwen’s petition to have her marriage to Gavin annulled will also be granted.
“It hasn’t been formally made yet, but all indications are [that] Gwen will have her Catholic wedding to Blake.”
In October, following weeks of speculation that the pair was about to call it quits, Gwen announced their plans to tie the knot.
Gwen shared their engagement news in an Instagram post as she flashed her diamond ring while sharing a kiss with the country star, writing in the caption: “Yes, please!”
Blake, who asked Gwen’s kids for permission before proposing, shared the snap, which he captioned: “Hey Gwen, thanks for saving my 2020… And the rest of my life.. I love you. I heard a YES!”
