'We're going pretty big': Avril Lavigne reveals details on her upcoming wedding with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger



Avril Lavigne says her upcoming wedding is going to be 'quite spectacular'.
The 28-year-old Canadian star – who was previously married to Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley – has admitted she is planning a very lavish big day with her Nickelback rocker fiancĂ© Chad Kroeger and plans to surprise him with a few romantic details.
In a joint interview with Chad on Tuesday, the 'What The Hell' singer told KIIS-FM's On-Air with Ryan Seacrest: 'It's going to be quite spectacular, and there's a theme to it.



'We're going pretty big, but Chad doesn't even know everything.
'I'm going to take the lyrics from the sheet music from one of our songs and wrap it around the wedding cake.'
Avril also opened up about how Chad, 37, proposed to her with a 14-carat diamond ring last August, after just one month of dating.
She said: 'I had been making this scrapbook of my time in the studio. I walk over and he had taken a photo of himself holding the ring box and put the Polaroid in my scrapbook. Because I had stickers everywhere he put in 'Will you marry me?' It was really romantic and kind of made sense.'
Chad revealed he was very nervous beforehand.
He explained: 'You can travel the world and sing songs to thousands of people and not have your heartbeat raised at all. You get down on one knee and commit yourself to a woman for the rest of your life. I was very nervous!'



The singer previously admitted he never expected to get married but meeting Avril changed his mind.
He added: 'There was a time in my life that I thought I would never get married. But this definitely took me by storm. Honestly, it was more my idea than hers to get married. I'm just lucky she said yes.'
The happy couple spent their Sunday together as well, on the Los Angeles set of 28-year-old singer's new music video shoot.


Her new song, aptly titled Here’s to Never Growing Up, had the songstress in a childlike dress that she layered over rhinestone-adorned fishnet stockings.
She teamed the look with a pair of red pumps, which she later switched for some more comfortable black fuzzy boots. 
It looked as if Avril was playing dress up in her mother’s old prom dress and she had her long blonde hair out and matted.
A crown sat on top of her head and pitch-black eyes stared out from between her part.
Heavy eye makeup has always been a part of Avril’s ensemble, but she took it to the extreme for her shoot, almost resembling a racoon. 
The singer was cheerful despite her goth-like makeup, though.
Her fiancé acted as moral support on set, beaming next to her on the backseat of a golf cart.
The pair got engaged in August of 2012 and seem to be even more in love than ever.

Taylor Swift Responds to Sick Teen’s Prom Request


You might recall that a few weeks ago, Taylor Swift was asked to prom by high school student Devin Whitney from Aurora, Colo. But this wasn’t a standard prom invite. Devin suffers from a rare disease called Oto-Palatal-Digital Syndrome (OPD), which affects his body from head to toe.

Tired of being bullied by his classmates, Devin went out on a limb to invite the country superstar to be his date to the big dance, hoping that it would boost his confidence. Understandably, Ms. Swift can’t do it all, so she had to decline the invite — but not without responding to Devin’s family.

The teen made a video in which he holds up index cards which tell his story to the camera. As viewers read the index cards, they learn that Devin has been bullied at school because of his condition. Because he’s afraid of rejection, he didn’t want to ask any of his classmates to prom. But then he thought that if he could get a gorgeous date like Swift to hang on his arm, nobody could possibly make fun of him.

The video went viral pretty quickly, garnering close to 35,000 views. That was enough for the award-winning country singer to take notice. Though Swift couldn’t attend the big dance with Devin, she wanted to give him some kind of encouragement, so she asked one of her representatives to contact his family. The rep told Devin that Swift was sorry she couldn’t make it, but she thinks that he’s a very special person.

Devin wasn’t the first teen to ask the ‘Mean’ hitmaker out on a date. Two-time cancer patient and high school senior Kevin McGuire asked Swift to his prom, and she countered him with an invite to be her date to the ACMs back in April. Sadly, McGuire was too sick to make it to the awards show.

Just this week, Swift made news again for her good heart when she called a fallen soldier’s family and sent flowers to pay her respects. The country songstress gets plenty of requests from fans, and it sounds like she does her best to come through.

Sad that Swift couldn’t make Devin’s dream come true, but she did give him enough confidence to attend the dance. And it’s a good thing, too. He was crowned Prom King that night!
