Could Nikki Reed's wedding be right around the corner?

She and her American Idol fiancé Paul McDonald sure do have a lot of the planning figured out.

We caught up with the couple last night to dish about the big day. Here's what they had to say...

First off, don't expect the Twilight starlet's big day to look anything like Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's Breaking Dawn wedding. "They had a beautiful wedding, but Paul and I are just not Edward and Bella, at all!" she told us at the Just Dance 3 launch party at The Beverly in West Hollywood.

"It will be small," said Reed, 23. Her maid of honor will be her best friend, Spy Kids star Alexa Vega.

The dress is picked out, but Reed remained mum on details. "I haven't told Paul anything," she said. "He's super traditional and wants to be surprised."

When we asked McDonald if he plans to serenade his wifey-to-be, he smiled, "I've got a handful of songs. I might bust out one or two."

"We're both doing equal amounts," McDonald, 27, said of the wedding planning. "It's coming along. I've obviously been doing a lot more since I've been back in town. I was so busy out on the road. So she and the wedding planner were handling a bunch."

And, no, Reed won't walk down the aisle sporting her man's face on her nails like she famously did at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards. "I mean, that was fun right?" she laughed. "No Paul nails. I'll probably paint them."

Inside the bash, Reed and McDonald hung out in a private booth with friends. The smiley twosome sat close together, chatting with others and occasionally whispering in each other's ears. Also at the event were just-booted DWTSer Kristin Cavallari, Karina Smirnoff and partner J.R. Martinez and Shenae Grimes.

Earlier in the night, Reed and McDonald joined Christina Hendricks, Elisabeth Moss, Ali Larter and Lo Bosworth at the the Tacori bash in West Hollywood for the unveiling of the jewelry house's 18k925 collection.
