Vanessa Minnillo 'in charge of wedding'

Vanessa Minnillo has revealed that she is in charge of making most of the decisions about her upcoming wedding to Nick Lachey.

During an appearance on The Rachael Ray Show, the actress joked that Lachey would be more likely to plan a ceremony that resembles a "big old tailgate party" rather than an elegant affair.

"If I let Nick plan the wedding it'll be around some sporting event," she said.

"We'll have a big old tailgate party with Miller Lite! We'll have University of Cincinnati Bearcats running around!"

However, she confessed that they have not made much progress on pinning down the details of their forthcoming nuptials, adding: "I always feel irresponsible, like I'm unprepared for my test at school. We have nothing yet, except for the wedding planner."

The couple, who became engaged in November 2010, were recently rumoured to be considering a winter wedding.
