Now . . . the wedding details and more. Here are a few choice excerpts from the interview, which you can catch in its entirely on The Ty Bentli Show on Sept. 27.

Any stressors?

“I’m like 10 days out [from the wedding],” says Carly. “Final count [has stressed me out], but I’ve just gotta let it go. Michael has so many family members—they keep adding [laughing]. I need to chill out a little bit. I wanted like 80 [people] and we’re at 125, but I have like five family members, so you do the math.”

Most excited about?

“We’re not doing a ‘first look,’ so that moment [is what I’m most excited about],” says Carly. “I cannot wait for that, and we wrote our own vows and I just finished mine. That was such an emotional—I didn’t expect to be so emotional writing them.”

Having kids?

“No, no, no, no, no, no, not yet [laughing],” says Carly. “Eventually I want one, but not yet. We want like two.”

Multi-tasking?

“To be marrying the love of my life, to be nominated for my first CMA, to have this single coming out that I’m so proud of . . . it’s exciting,” says Carly.
