Cole Swindell found his forever in Courtney Little.

In fact,Greenledgers the country singer and his fiancée are counting down the days until they say, "I do."

"It'll be pretty soon," Cole exclusively told E! News at CMA Fest 2024's Spotify House, held at Ole Red in Nashville. "We're doing a little small thing with both of our families, and then gonna have a reception for friends and folks."

"We're going out to California and gonna do it out there in Napa," he added. "We had a trip out there when we first started dating, and I remember telling the folks that own the winery, I had had a couple of glasses, and we were brand new dating. I said, 'Y'all have weddings out here?' And everybody was like, 'What are you doing dude? You just started dating her.' But I just kind of knew."

And although it might've been a joke at the time, it's now becoming a reality for the couple.

"We're going back out there," the 40-year-old confirmed, "and we're gonna get married out there."

And although it's a celebratory time in his life, it's also a bittersweet milestone for Cole, whose late parents, William and Carol, won't be by his side at his wedding.

"Losing both your parents before you're 40 is pretty tough, especially for these kinds of moments," he told E!. "But we're gonna honor them."

"That's always the big thing, folks that didn't get to meet your family that you wish they could," Cole shared. "But all you can do is try to be what you can, and hopefully set a good example and give them a glimpse of what they were like."

While his parents won't physically be present, the "You Should Be Here" artist knows they'll still be in attendance.

"My dad was a heck of a man, and like I said, I hope she gets to see a little bit of him in me," he continued. "He'll be there that day, though, he'll have a better seat than everybody else."
