The wedding will be a private affair amidst close friends and family members. It will be small, said Reed. Her maid of honor will be her best friend and Spy Kids star Alexa Vega.

The bridal gown is all ready, but Reed wants it to be a surprise, I haven't told Paul anything, she said. He's super traditional and wants to be surprised.

The adorable couple- McDonald, 27 and Reed, 23 met for the first time in March on the Red carpet of Red Riding Hood and engaged in June.

We crossed paths on this random American Idol journey, and that led me to my future wife, McDonald told People magazine.
