Jacob Batalon and his fiancée Veronica Leahov are taking their time with wedding planning — but they do have some interesting ideas for the big day.

While stepping out to the Los Angeles premiere of his new film Novocaine on Monday, March 10, the actor, 28, told Entertainment Tonight that while he and Leahov are "just enjoying the engagement right now," she already has her eye on a glamorous location for the nuptials: Italy's Lake Como.

As for Batalon, he has a couple wedding must-haves of his own in mind when it comes to the food and his groom's attire. "I mean, some adobo for sure," he said. "And then maybe some like — I kind of want to wear Aloha shirts instead of a tuxedo."

The Spider-Man: Far From Home star also reflected on what it's like to now call Leahov — an architectural designer — his fiancée.

"It's a really cool adult word, I would say. I feel very fancy. Fiancée … it's really great," the actor told ET, before sharing some sweet words about his wife-to-be.

"She's like the most supportive person I've ever met in my life. She loves to see me win and I love to see her win. And she's just inspired me to be a better person and to work harder at my job," Batalon said.
