Speaking with PEOPLE Wednesday night at The Thing About Pam's For Your Consideration event in Hollywood, the actor, 49, opened up about his upcoming nuptials. "We're in full prep mode," he says. When asked if he's enjoying the process, he says because he's been busy working, Mari, 28, has taken the reins. "Thankfully she's really good at it," the Transformers alum said. "I'm there to sort of answer questions or if she's got questions about something." Duhamel explains when it comes to the details, he has minimal requests. "Most of the stuff I don't care about," he says. "I just want there to be great music, I want to have people around that we love, and I want be present. I want to make sure that when the night comes, I don't want to be overcome by the moment. I just want to be present and have a great time."
