Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert's wedding plans are apparently underway, and there's one thing they'll have a lot of: music. They both love country music, but also love other, different types of music, too. Blake says, “I’m going to have my music picked out and she’ll have her music. And we’re going to have live music, D-J, everything. It’s going to be music everywhere.” No date's been anounced, but Blake has said in at least one interview that the wedding will be next May in the Texas hill country.
