She's about to become the second Hulkamaniac No. 1.

Hulk Hogan has just gotten a marriage license in Florida to make things official with fiancée Jennifer McDaniel, his rep confirms to E! News. 

The two have been together for more than two years, with the former wrestler popping the question last winter. But they'd better seal the deal quickly—the license expires on Jan. 11.

What wedding day details do we know so far?

Sources tell E! News that Hogan will asks son Nick to serve as best man and that daughter Brooke is "thrilled" for him.

But one former family member unlikely to show at the ceremony will be ex-wife Linda. Their marriage went south during their MTV reality show, Hogan Knows Best, and they filed for divorce in 2007 after more than 20 years together. Proceedings got vicious, but finally concluded earlier this year, freeing both to move on with other partners. (Linda, 50, got engaged to 21-year-old Charlie Hill over the summer.)

Hulk, 56, has credited McDaniel, 35, with helping him bounce back from severe depression and suicidal thoughts following the split from Linda. He popped the question last year with a giant rock in Brisbane, Australia, where he was appearing for a wrestling match.

Congrats, Hulkster.
