It's been three weeks since Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger wowed the world with the happy news of their surprise engagement. But one person who isn't paying attention to everyone else's reaction is the Nickelback rocker himself.
"I try not to take too much interest in the world's opinion of our relationship," Kroeger, 37, tells PEOPLE. "I just know the both of us are very happy."
Lavigne, 27, and Kroeger met earlier this year while collaborating on music for her forthcoming album. Their professional relationship took a turn this summer when they started dating on July 1 – which happens to be a special day for both Canadian megastars.
"We think it's very cool that our anniversary will always be on Canada Day," Kroeger says. "We can't wait to start our life together."
Before they walk down the aisle, Kroeger, whose band has sold more than 50 million records, will hit the road this month for a European tour with Daughtry. And he's hoping to have his bride-to-be by his side for some of those dates.
"She'll come over and spend some time [with me] when she's got time," says Kroeger, who adds that they're working on balancing their music careers with impending married life. "They're going to throw a lot of stuff on her plate with the new record."

So crazy, regardless if they knew each other for months before that.
My SIL just did that back in April with a guy she only dated since Thanksgiving. It's so crazy to me.

But people are weird when it comes to relationships. A coworker of mine was married for 35 years and then dumped her husband for some random guy she knew for a couple of weeks. She took all her savings and put it in a joint account with this guy and they moved out of state. Every so often I check the news where they now live to make sure she hasn't become a Lifetime Movie story.
I never understand what the rush is anymore. My husband and I dated for 2 years before we got engaged, and were engaged for 3 before we got married. I was so glad we had all that time to really grow up, and get to know each other. I can't imagine doing it in only a few months.

...Of course it will be. When else could they possibly get married.
I don't know whether to die laughing or be super offended. Or both.
