Khloe: Kim's Wedding Is "Royal Wedding No. 2"

Step aside, William and Kate: The queen of reality TV is getting hitched, and it's going to be huge.

Hours after news broke of Kim Kardashian's engagement to Kris Humphries after about six months of dating, her little sister Khloe Kardashian predicted a monstrous, royal bash for her sister. 30.

"It's going to be royal wedding number two," Khloe, 26, told E! News Wednesday. "I could only imagine Kim having the hugest wedding."

Khloe, of course, has been happily married to Lamar Odom for about a year and a half, and she knows that her sister has already dealt with one agonizing decision: Her maid of honor.

She said Kim, 30, will do what she did at her nuptials and give both Khloe and Kourtney, 32, the special title. "I made both of them my maid of honor," Khloe said. "You can't choose."

One major difference between Kim and Khloe's special day? Mom Kris Jenner told Us Weekly: "She's giving me more than nine days to plan a wedding like Khloe so fabulously did!"

Adder Jenner, "Kim will have more to do with this one. She has time. She's going to plan it out. She has a definite, specific thing that she has in her mind I'm sure. It's been so fast and furious that she hasn't discussed it with us."

"Kim has always been a hopeless romantic," Khloe told Us. "She thinks she is a Disney character, like everything is a great love story. It's so sweet and cute. It's just Kim. I feel like she is very much in love with love."

Kim's Mom Gave Permission For Engagement

Kim Kardashian was taken by surprise when Kris Humphries popped the question, but the reality star's mom and stepdad knew it was coming.

Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner found out "a few days" before it happened, Kim's mom revealed Wednesday during a press day for the family's show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

"He came to Bruce and myself and asked us for Kim's hand in marriage," says Kris Jenner, "and it was really just so cute the way that he wanted to surprise her."

Humphries, 26, waited in Kim's bedroom on bended knee with four words written in red rose petals: "WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

Mom Kris decided to host a family dinner in honor of the occasion – without revealing the reason to the rest of the family.

"[Kim and Kris] were going to come over to my house, join the party, and then tell the rest of the family," says Kris Jenner.

But sisters Khloé and Kourteny Kardashian were totally in the dark about the news. "We had no idea! We were both surprised at the dinner when Kim came out with her big rock and she started waving it in the air," says Kourtney.

As for moving ahead with wedding planning, Khloé says that Kim will be totally in control of every element: "Kim, trust me, will never let anyone else touch her wedding but herself."

But the sisters do plan to have a role in the nuptials. "I would assume that we would both be maids of honor," says Khloé.

Quips Kourtney: "We're assuming, because otherwise there would be a war."

And with Kardashian's hectic schedule, she loves having someone calm, fun and funny to come home to.

"If I've had a long day, I'm working really hard or I'm stressed, I just can't wait to come home to him," she says. "The time that we've spent together, we have so much fun together and he always, no matter what, puts me in a good mood."

Inside Kristin Cavallari's Wedding Plans

Don't expect a Hills wedding for Kristin Cavallari and her NFL quarterback fiancé Jay Cutler. The reality starlet will most likely say "I do" in the Windy City.

"It seems like it's going to be in Chicago, because that seems to make the most sense since both of our families are there," Cavallari, 24, tells PEOPLE. "My mom is there and his family is in Indiana."

As for timing, “We’re planning to get married next spring," she says while also admitting that the guest list is still up in the air.

"I'm trying to decide between a really small, intimate wedding or a huge, blowout party-type wedding," Cavallari says, addressing whether or not any of her former Hills or Laguna Beach castmates might be included on the big day.

"If I have a big wedding, then yes, some will be invited," she says. "If I have a small, intimate wedding, it will probably just be family and really close friends."

Meanwhile, Cavallari has been busy coming up with ideas for her big day.

"I've been ripping out a lot of papers from Bride magazine," she says. "I'm going to start meeting with wedding planners in the next couple of weeks."

Cavallari, who wants to walk down the aisle in a Monique Lhuillier gown, hasn't selected her fancy footwear yet, but she doesn't rule out the possibility of designing the shoes herself.

With her own ShoeDazzle line (a large portion of whose proceeds go to her charity, One Kid One World), Cavallari is often asked if she'll craft the footwear for her big day. "It's actually a good idea," she says, adding that the style she just designed makes for "the perfect summer shoe."

"I wanted to make a fun statement, so I picked this really pretty fuchsia color," she says of the $40 wears. "It's really girlie and cute."

Kristin Cavallari & Jay Cutler: Love at First Sight

Kristin Cavallari had been dating Jay Cutler for less than a year when the Chicago Bears quarterback popped the question in April – but Cavallari says the proposal felt like it was a long time coming.

"I think we both knew from the moment we met that we wanted to marry each other," the former Hills star, 24, tells PEOPLE. "It's been a great situation."

And it doesn't hurt that her family is a fan of Cutler, 27, who proposed during a romantic getaway to Mexico.

"My parents are both extremely happy," she says. "There's been no drama, which is good."

Cavallari – who has been portrayed as the typical blonde California beach babe on TV – is even planning to permanently trade her bikinis and flip-flops for snow boots once she and Cutler tie the knot.

"I will relocate to Chicago," she says. "I want us to be together. I don't want to be one of those married couples where one person is on the West Coast, and the other is somewhere else. I do want some normalcy in my life. I want to be a wife."

As for raising a family? It's in the cards.

"We definitely want kids," the ShoeDazzle designer says. "As far as right away, probably not. But definitely in the next few years."

Kristin Cavallari Talks Proposal, Wedding, Kids

It's official: Kristin Cavallari is engaged and she's sharing all the details of her fairy-tale engagement and future plans with Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler in the new issue of Life & Style.

On April 24, Jay got down on one knee as the sun was setting in the sky over Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and asked Kristin, his girlfriend of eight months, to be his wife. "I couldn't be happier," Kristin, 24, tells Life & Style exclusively. "I don't have to date anymore!"

Kristin had a feeling a proposal was coming but Jay made sure to keep it a surprise. "When he opened the ring box, it took me a second to say yes because I was in such shock," Kristin says of her reaction to the 5.2-carat Asscher-cut diamond ring. " I was just staring at the ring and thinking, Oh my God, it's absolutely beautiful!"

Kristin says it was her "dream proposal" however she won't be rushing into an over-the-top wedding anytime soon. "It'll be about a year engagement and then I want a classic and traditional wedding. I can't decide whether I want a small, intimate wedding or a huge wedding -- but it will absolutely not be on TV!" Kristin assures. "If we go with a bigger wedding, then I'll invite some of the Laguna and Hills casts. But if not, then it will probably just be family and really, really close friends."

And while she won't be rushing to the altar, Kristin is already thinking about her future with Jay. "We definitely want kids -- a lot of kids. We want at least three," Kristin tells Life & Style. "I guess we'll take it one pregnancy at a time!"

Kristin Cavallari "Very Surprised" By Proposal

Bride-to-be traffic jam!

There were three engaged stars at Tuesday night's Hollywood premiere of Something Borrowed: The flick's stars Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin, plus Kristin Cavallari, who walked the red carpet.

After about 8 months together, Chicago Bears hunk Jay Cutler proposed to the former Hills star, 24, over the Easter weekend.

"I kind of knew it was coming," Cavallari told Us Weekly Tuesday. "But I was definitely very surprised."

After being set up with Cutler, 27, via reality star and E! News host Giuiliana Rancic, Cavalarri says she knew "right away" that Cutler was The One.

"I think that we both knew right away that it was very different and very special," she gushed.

Also very special: Her whopping engagement ring, which she rocked on Something Borrowed's red carpet.

One thing she's keeping private: Cutler's proposal. "I don't want to say, but it was very romantic and very sweet," she said.

The quarterback was very old-fashioned, she offered. "He went and asked my dad, which was really sweet, and my dad really appreciated that! My parents couldn't be happier. They love him and his family is excited, so it's great."

Wedding planning has barely begun, she admitted. "I've been ripping out things from magazines and I had just made a wedding binder, but that's as far as I've gotten."

The wedding could take place in Chicago. "My mom and that whole side of the family is there, and Jay obviously lives there. I think that makes the most sense."

Any dates picked out? "Because of the football season, it would have to be in the next couple months or next spring, so probably next spring."

Kristin & Jay: 5 Things to Know About Them

Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler are "very in love" and "so happy," a source tells PEOPLE, which stands to reason: Cutler popped the question over the weekend.

So what do we not know about the romance of the reality starlet and her NFL star fiancé?

1. They fell in love fast

They only began dating last fall, and their relationship has been primarily long-distance, but by January, Cavallari, 24, admitted Cutler already had her heart. "I'm in love and it's been great," she told PEOPLE. "Things are really good."

2. Cavallari has other ties to Chicago besides Cutler

"Chicago is great for me," Cavallari has told PEOPLE. "My mom and that whole side of the family is there … It's been nice to hang out with my mom." In fact, since the engagement, a source tells PEOPLE, Cavallari has been spending a lot of time out there.

3. Cutler has health problems, but they don't hurt his career

Noting he "had no energy," Cutler, who lost 35 lbs. in 2008, told the Associated Press that he'd been diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes. "It's a little overwhelming to get that news and realize you're going to have to completely change your life," he said, adding that the diagnosis is not expected to affect his play.

4. They share a love of charity

Among other philanthropic ventures she taken on, Cavallari has been involved in Until There's a Cure, a campaign to raise awareness and funds for AIDS and HIV.

Cutler does volunteer work for young people with developmental disabilities through Vanderbilt's Best Buddies program – and in 2007, he started the Jay Cutler Foundation, which partnered with Mile High United Way’s Youth Success Initiative to help at-risk youth overcome obstacles and graduate from high school.

5. They've both felt betrayed

Cutler, 27, was verbally attacked by some of his Chicago Bears teammates after the 2010 NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers for sitting part of it out due to a knee injury and appearing disinterested on the sidelines. Cutler later said the criticism "bothered" him.

Jessica Simpson and fiance Eric Johnson were recently snapped at a slew of boutiques in London and Paris. A wedding dress hunt? Nope! Simpson -- Us Weekly's Style Icon of the Year, who heads her own wildly successful fashion line -- was "inspiration shopping for the collection," the superstar, 30, tells Us exclusively in the new issue. "I have the best job in the world!"

Simpson's labor of love has paid off: The Jessica Simpson brand has raked in $750 million in 35 countries!

And the singer, actress and reality star is completely hands-on with the creation of her chic but affordable line. "I'm in the workroom in [L.A.'s] Westwood a few times a week from 11 to 7 at night," she tells Us.

"Nothing goes out without me seeing it or my mom [Tina Simpson, cocreative director] seeing it," Simpson explains.

Working with Mama Tina, she says, is ideal -- and brutally honest! "We really know so much about each other and share so much," she says. "And we keep everything extremely truthful. If I walked in wearing something she didn't like, she would tell me. And I would tell her! Like, 'What the hell are you wearing?'"

Part of her current fashion success means a break from Simpson's Hollywood career, she admits. "This year, I've taken time for myself to enjoy being engaged and in love and being a businesswoman instead of an entertainer,"she says. "It's really helped the collection!"

About that engagement....

"I'm still trying to figure out what we're going to do about all of the plans," she says, adding that she be be "involved" in designing her gown.

"We have four dates floating around...It's going to end up being big!"

Jessica S: I'll Wear A Low-Cut Wedding Dress

Jessica Simpson may be a fashion mogul, but she's still at work on her most important look yet: her wedding dress.

"It's definitely going to be beautiful," the singer, who is engaged to former NFL player Eric Johnson, tells PEOPLE. "I want it to be different from what I've had before. I have a lot of tear sheets!"

Still, Simpson – who says she'd love to have a "Carrie Bradshaw moment" trying on lots of gowns – often gravitates toward v-neck or scoop necks, which flatter her physique and help her avoid looking "top heavy."

Besides, "I like my collar bone," adds Simpson, 30. "I have a long neck, so I like to show off my décolletage."

As for the color, "I haven't really thought about it," Simpson confesses. But, "I do like the romantic feel of a lighter color."

While she focuses on her dress, Simpson's bridesmaids will be busy choosing their own ensembles. "I definitely would want all my bridesmaids to be in everything different," says the bride-to-be. "Just [to reflect] what their personalities are.”

For now, though, with so many of the plans still up in the air, Simpson doesn't even know when the nuptials will take place – or where.

"It’ll definitely be somewhere warm!" she says. "Once I get what I want my dress to look like. We'll set a date."
