Nick Lachey wants us all to know that his upcoming wedding to Vanessa Minnillo has nothing to do with his previous failed union with Jessica Simpson.

"It is completely unrelated," he insisted to us, when asked how the two weddings compared.

But he did admit that he's really relieved about one thing.

No, it's not the fact that he popped the question to Vanessa before Jessica got a proposal from Eric Johnson.

Instead, he told us, "The pressure is off. She said, 'Yes!' It's smooth sailing from here."

Maybe for him. Doesn't he have any idea how hard it is for a bride to plan her wedding?!
