According to sources close to the musical couple, they’re planning on getting married on Saturday at a ranch in Oklahoma owned by Blake, who hails from the state.
The two reportedly have an array of wedding activities planned for themselves and guests, although they’re keeping backups in mind if the weather doesn’t cooperate.
If Saturday is a sunny day, Gwen is planning to walk down the aisle in an outdoor chapel located on the property.
The sources added that the couple and Gwen’s children are already in Oklahoma to be ready for the big day.

The whole gang departed Los Angeles on Friday, June 25, just after Blake had finished up work as a coach on his popular singing competition series The Voice.
The couple are also reportedly planning on sending their private jet back to the West Coast to pick up Gwen’s close family to bring them back for the wedding.
Despite taking place over the July 4 weekend, the sources said the lovebirds aren’t planning on going all out celebrating.
Instead of a big bash, they’ll be sticking with an intimate affair for family and close friends, which will also be safer as the novel coronavirus continues to spread and the more contagious delta variant makes its way across the country.

Blake and Gwen’s romance goes back to 2015, when they struck up a relationship while working together on The Voice.
At the time, both singers were coming off heartbreaks.
In July of that year, Blake and his then-wife Miranda Lambert announced that they were divorcing after four years of marriage and almost a decade together.
Gwen had her own marital split when she announced her divorce from Bush lead singer Gavin Rossdale in August 2015 after two decades together and nearly 13 years of marriage.
She shares three boys with her ex-husband: 15-year-old Kingston, 12-year-old Zuma and seven-year-old Apollo.
