Blake Shelton is a chart-topping country star, but he admits those skills don't translate to wedding planning.

As Shelton and fiancee Gwen Stefani prepare for their upcoming nuptials, the country singer says it's a good thing he's not in charge of planning the event -- especially the food.

"If I was picking our meal, it would just literally be everything fried," he recently told USA Today, mentioning chicken tenders and french fries as items he'd put on the menu.

He joked, "I think she knows that it would be a pretty classless wedding if I was in control."

The "God's Country" singer added that Stefani is actively planning the wedding, much to his delight.

"I want her to do all of that stuff and handle it because it's going to be great. She's in the middle of planning the thing and she's always so mindful … of me," Shelton said. "She's like, 'Hey, I don't want to just take this thing over.' I know she's having a blast doing it."
