Asked if they have started preparing for their big day, Quaid said that "happens like the next minute" after popping the question.
"I think she's looking at wedding dresses today. She's gotta get started," etonline.com quoted him as saying.
Addressing the couple's planned time frame for their wedding, Quaid said: "You've got a year, right? And if you go past a year without getting married, then you're suspect. That's basic etiquette."
They still have just over 11 months to get everything together, which means they still have time to fit in a vacation during the upcoming holiday season.

Netflix dropped the trailer for its upcoming Christmas-themed series, “Merry Happy Whatever,” on Monday, starring Dennis Quaid as Don Quinn, the father of a family that likes things done their own way during the holiday. Well, his way.
And his way doesn’t seem to include his daughter Emmy’s (Bridgit Mendler) new boyfriend Matt (Brent Morin) who wants to pop the question this Christmas.
Watch the video above, which also features Ashley Tisdale as Emmy’s sister Kayla, who is also not a big fan of Matt. Poor guy, looks like he’s got a rough road ahead this holiday season.

Dennis Quaid is heading to Netflix!
The streaming giant ordered a holiday-themed multi-camera comedy called Merry Happy Whatever which will star Quaid.
He will also executive produce.
The series comes from Everybody Loves Raymond executive producer Tucker Cawley, and if the show is as funny as that, Netflix will probably want a lot more than the eight episodes it's ordered so far.

This isn't Quaid's first foray into television, nor is it his first swing at streaming television.
In 2012, Quaid starred in a network show called Vegas in which he played a Las Vegas sheriff who finds his nemesis in co-star Michael Chiklis.
Quaid also starred in the Crackle series The Art of More from 2014-2016.
That series, about the crime and intrigue inside the glamorous auction houses of New York, is currently in limbo but yet to be canceled.

Exclusive: Netflix has given an eight-episode series order to Merry Happy Whatever, a holiday-themed multi-camera comedy series starring and executive produced by Dennis Quaid. The project hails from former Everybody Loves Raymond executive producer Tucker Cawley, Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment and Wendi Trilling’s TrillTV. Top multi-camera helmer Pam Fryman is set and direct.
In Merry Happy Whatever, written by Cawley, Dennis Quaid plays Don Quinn, a strong-willed patriarch who must balance the demands of his complicated family with the stress of the Christmas season when his youngest daughter comes home for the holidays with a new boyfriend.
The project is envisioned as a potential anthology series. The first season takes place over the week or so around Christmas, with future seasons possibly exploring other holidays.
Cawley serves as showrunner and executive produces Merry Happy Whatever with Quaid, Fryman, Kapital Entertainment’s Kaplan and Dana Honor and TrillTV’s Trilling.

On TV, he previously toplined Fortitude, The Art of More and Vegas and stars opposite Billy Bob Thornton on the upcoming third season of Amazon’s Goliath.
Quaid’s recent big-screen credits include A Dog’s Purpose and I Can Only Imagine, and he next will be seen starring in Sony’s The Intruder and in Universal’s A Dog’s Journey. He is repped by Wme and Hansen Jacobson.
Cawley, who won a writing Emmy for Everybody Loves Raymond, served as an executive producer on CBS’ The Odd Couple. He is repped by CAA and attorney Patti Felker.
Fryman, who also is directing CBS’ comedy pilot Carol’s Second Act, from another Raymond alum, Mike Royce, is repped by ICM Partners and attorney Holmes Weinberg.
