Dennis Quaid isn’t interested in a long engagement.
The actor said he’s eager to be a married man within the year.
“You’ve got a year, right?” the 65-year-old told Entertainment Tonight on Sunday. “And if you go past a year without getting married, then you’re suspect. That’s basic etiquette.”
According to the “Parent Trap” star, he and his fiancée Laura Savoie began planning their wedding “the next minute” after he popped the question to the PhD student in Hawaii last month.
“I think she’s looking at wedding dresses today,” Quaid told the outlet. “She’s gotta get started.”

“I had the ring in my pocket,” gushed Quaid to the outlet. “It has been kind of a month-and-a-half plan — I wanted it to be private.”
At the time, Quaid revealed he waited for the perfect sunset to pop the question.
“She was actually taking a selfie of us, and I put the ring in front and said, ‘Will you marry me?’ And then she fell down," said Quaid.
“It happened on the very northernmost point of Oahu, at Turtle Bay,” he continued. “It was kind of spontaneous. It was very much a surprise.”
The couple was first spotted together in May of this year after having dinner at Craig's in West Hollywood.
Previously, Quaid was linked to Santa Auzina, 32. It is believed the pair were last photographed together in December.
