Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris know they are not a conventional couple. So, why settle for a convention wedding when the pair will exchange their vows on June 18?
"The dress is not going to be white," Harris tells PEOPLE of the Romona Keveza gown she's selected for the occasion. "I love pink! So, the dress will be pink and Hef and I want the wedding to be just a lot of different colors and to just look beautiful."
Harris, 24, and Hefner, 84, are in the midst of planning, "and it's pretty great that we haven't argued about anything yet," Harris says. "Things that I feel strongly about, he's okay with, and things that he feels strongly about, I'm okay with doing things his way, so it works out."
Still, Harris admits, "It's cute having him look through catalogs for wedding cake toppers! So that has been a lot of fun and seeing it all come together."
Hefner favors strawberry cake, and so that's coming from Torrance Bakery. The flowers will be fuchsia and turquoise, matching the Swarovski crystals that will adorn the more than 300 Papeterie custom-made invitations the couple is sending out.
"Hef's friend Ray Anthony, he has a band," Harris says, "so we're going to have a big band and we're going to have all kinds of instruments and we're going to have a deejay towards the end of the evening."
In terms of the wedding party, Hefner's brother Keith, 82, will serve as his best man, with Hefner's two youngest sons, Marston and Cooper, 20, his groomsmen. Harris will have her two older sisters as bridesmaids and friend Anna Berglund as her maid of honor.
When Hefner proposed, he placed Harris's engagement ring in a music box that played the theme from her favorite movie, The Little Mermaid. She is carrying that sense of whimsy to her big day.
"Usually, weddings just have two main colors," Harris says. "We just want it to be colorful and pretty and the backyard is full of colors. We have the koi pond, and the fish and the birds are all different colors, so we just want to fit it all together and make it look nice and pretty."
ake Harris is presently making waves on the net after being caught red-handed on tonight's episode of the Deadliest Catch by none other than his father, Captain Phil Harris.
The episode entitled "The Darkened Seas" features Jake slacking off from his duties on the Cornelia Marie while his father tries to motivate him in captaining the boat. Eventually Capt. Harris discovers that Jake has been stealing his pills.
"You're a thief and a liar," Capt. Harris tells his son Jake after witnessing the "unthinkable," adding that he wants nothing more to do with him once they get back on shore. The episode ends as Jake Harris pleads with his dad and admits that he's an addict.
Meanwhile, we all know that tonight's episode is just the start of a rocky and painful road for Capt. Phil, who died earlier this year. Next week, the Deadliest Catch will feature Capt. Phil as he suffers a stroke.

Capt. Phil Harris, one of the signature personalities that made the reality series "The Deadliest Catch" such a gigantic breakout hit for the Discovery Channel, died Tuesday (February 9) at the age of 53. Harris died of complications from a stroke he suffered on January 29.
"Discovery mourns the loss of dear friend and colleague Captain Phil Harris," a statement from the channel said. "He was more than someone on our television screen. Phil was a devoted father and loyal friend to all who knew him. We will miss his straightforward honesty, wicked sense of humor and enormous heart. We share our tremendous sadness over this loss with the millions of viewers who followed Phil's every move."
Harris was the captain of the Cornelia Marie, one of several crab-fishing boats upon which "The Dealiest Catch" was focused, and one of the few to be featured in every season of the show. Through five seasons, the show depicted the extreme conditions that fishermen face while hunting for crab off the coast of Alaska. Harris' gruff personality, no-nonsense work ethic and acerbic sense of humor made him a fan favorite on the program.
Jake and Josh Harris, the captain's two sons, also issued a statement regarding their father's passing. "It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad — Capt. Phil Harris. Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end. For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down. We will remember and celebrate that strength. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers."
The Discovery Channel will air the sixth season of "The Deadliest Catch" some time in 2010.
