Wedding planningat the Fieris is full steam ahead.

Guy Fieri’s oldest sonHunter Fieriand his fiancéeTara Bernsteinare preparing to say “I do” in 2025 at the Food Network star’s Northern California home. Guy is leaving the details to the bride and groom, but helping with some bigger-picture aspects.

“I am just in that capacity of call me when you need me. Because that’s their dream, their thing, their deal,” he told PEOPLE while promoting hisFlavortown Laser Titanium Cookware(which is non-stick, chemical-free, dishwasher friendly, and oven safe up to 700°). “I’ve been doing my responsibilities of getting the ranch to tip-top shape.”

Hunter, 28, and Tarawereengagedone year ago on Thanksgiving in the same place they plan to wed. Guy’s wifeLori, theiryounger son Ryder, 18, and Tara’s family were all there to watch the special moment.

“We have an island in the big, big pond. There’s just this island, that’s where they got engaged. And there’s a bridge that goes over to the island that was in pretty good shape, but not good enough shape that we want to risk the bride going into the tank in her dress. So we got in and tore the entire bridge apart and rebuilt the bridge,” says Guy.

“It’s magical,” he adds. “It is this real arching, flowing bridge. It’s beautiful.”

TheTournament of Championshost still isn’t sure if he will be the one to officiate the wedding. “I’ll do whatever Hunter wants me to do. There is something though about wanting to sit there with Lori and watch this happen and being able to just be in the presence of that,” he says, getting choked up.

If he doesn’t officiate, there are plenty of back up options already lined up. “I’ve also heard there’s a couple celebrity buddies of ours that have offered to do it. So who knows?” he says.
