After three years, St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt and his American fiancee Catherine Heard will tie the knot in the States on Saturday.

The pair spoke to saints.com.au exclusively about their wedding day before jetting off to Waco, Texas, where the ceremony will be held.

"That's where a lot of my family has gone to college.  So my parents have a place out there on the river in the country so we will have a big southern Texas wedding so it will be good, it will be exciting," Catherine said.

"The ceremony's actually taking place in a pecan grove in front of the house so that will be gorgeous I hope, but it will be a very natural look because I'm not too over the top with anything - my mother however is pushing for the big decorations!"

Nick is hoping the big day goes to plan, revealing Cath doesn't cope so well in a crisis.

"I would say she is not so cool in a crisis, if anything ever goes wrong, Cath tends to have a bit of a meltdown," Nick said.

"I don't even want to contemplate (the thought of anything going wrong), it will be a disaster!"

Nick also thanked the St Kilda faithful for their support and congratulations, finishing the interview with a hint of what's planned after the wedding…

"Hopefully we can get our act together and start pumping out some little father-sons soon."
