The former No Doubt singer and country star got engaged in October
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Gwen Stefani appears eager to tie the knot with longtime boyfriend Blake Shelton but notes there are some hurdles to cross first.
The former No Doubt singer and Shelton, 44, announced they got engaged back in October after five years of dating.
Stefani appeared on "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" on Monday, where she spilled details of her dream nuptials to the country star and how the coronavirus pandemic will impact it.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"It's so funny to even say 'engaged.' It feels so weird. People have been saying it for so long, like five years, 'Are you getting married? Are you engaged?' And now we actually are and it feels like I’m in a cartoon or something," Stefani told Seacrest, via People magazine.

The "Let Me Reintroduce Myself" singer said her one request is for her parents to be in attendance when she walks down the aisle, noting that the global pandemic makes it difficult to nail down a date.

The mother of three added that the pair are going to wait and "see what happens in the next few months."
