Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani officially tied the knot back in July, and it seems that the honeymoon phase may be over after a recent interview Shelton gave with Ellen DeGeneres. Speaking on the balance of their marriage and making their romance work, Shelton revealed that he largely let his wife take the reins on their wedding plans.
Joking with DeGeneres after Shelton was called a “lazy” husband by a writer, he laughed, “At one point, I was saying in an interview, ‘We’re letting Gwen do whatever she wants for the wedding.’ And then some writer wrote, ‘Well, oh, look, he’s already a lazy deadbeat husband,’ ” Shelton then continued, joking, “But the truth is: I am.”
Shelton was adamant that he would have brought nothing to the table for planning the wedding, and that it was his wife-to-be that had the real eye. “What do I know about that stuff? Of course, it was her and her vision. And all I had to do was drink and kiss Gwen Stefani, I mean, my God. The greatest gig I’ve ever had.”

The pair had an intimate wedding ceremony over the summer with under 20 guests invited to the venue, which Shelton shared was the perfect number. “That’s exactly what it needed to be,” he said of the size.
