HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — LeAnn Rimes has opened up about her upcoming nuptials to Eddie Cibrian.

"It's [going] well," the country star tells People of their wedding preparation. "It's an exciting year and a lot to handle, but I've got a good man at my side. So he's helping! He really is the sweetest, most supportive man."

Rimes has already settled on the perfect wedding dress, but she's keeping the designer's name a secret. One thing's for sure — she can't wait for her big day to arrive.

"I'm looking forward to settling down," she said. "Settling into our life."

Rimes, 28, and Cibrian, 37, got engaged over the holidays. They have yet to reveal their wedding date.
