"Less than a year after Avril Lavigne accepted a 14 carat diamond ring from Chad Kroeger, the Canadian superstars&amp;apos; wedding preparations are well underway. Once-wed &amp;quot;Here&amp;apos;s to Never Growing Up&amp;quot; singer Lavigne spoke to Us Weekly about her upcoming nuptials before taking the stage for NYLON&amp;apos;s annual June/July Music issue celebration (sponsored by Aloft Hotels) at the Highline Ballroom in New York City on Tuesday, June 11.\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m the one who has the crazy vision and he&amp;apos;s letting me be me,&amp;quot; Lavigne, 28, said of Nickelback&amp;apos;s Kroeger, 38. &amp;quot;I just want to make sure I really enjoy this amazing time and I want all the guests who come to have this once in a lifetime experience. I want everyone to say &amp;apos;Wow!&amp;apos; and for it to be special for everyone, not just us.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe engaged star said the venue is &amp;quot;out of control&amp;quot; but declined to reveal where it will take place. &amp;quot;If I told you no one would be wowed,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;But I&amp;apos;ll say the best part about the wedding is the location.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe future spouses got to know each other while writing songs for Lavigne&amp;apos;s forthcoming album in early 2012. &amp;quot;The duet that I have with Chad is called &amp;apos;Let Me Go,&amp;apos; and that song is about . . .&amp;#xA0; going into a new relationship or moving on,&amp;quot; the bride-to-be told Us. &amp;quot;Obviously I&amp;apos;ve been married before [to Sum 41&amp;apos;s Deryck Whibley] and have had other relationships before, and sometimes you love more than once in a lifetime. &amp;apos;Let me Go&amp;apos; is the journey of love in one&amp;apos;s lifetime.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe pair also collaborated on a second track, but it won&amp;apos;t appear on Lavigne&amp;apos;s new record. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s going to be our wedding song, so we&amp;apos;ll have to release it after,&amp;quot; she explained.\r\n\r\nOther songs on Lavigne&amp;apos;s album are more lighthearted, such as &amp;quot;Hello Kitty,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Rock &amp;amp; Roll&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;17.&amp;quot; According to the musician, her sound has evolved since she burst onto the scene in 2002. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m doing different stuff with my vocals that I haven&amp;apos;t done before,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m more experienced and my voice has grown a lot.&amp;quot;\r\nLavigne added, &amp;quot;If you were to hear the album from the top to the end, you would definitely see that it&amp;apos;s diverse. I touch on things I haven&amp;apos;t touched on before.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
