Liam Hemsworth is opening up about his December wedding to Miley Cyrus

It can take months to plan the perfect wedding — unless you’re Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus!

Opening up about the couple’s December nuptials, the 29-year-old actor revealed that it was actually pretty easy to quickly put together their intimate ceremony.

“It wasn’t hard — we have a small group of friends,” Hemsworth told Extra at the G’Day USA Black Tie Gala on Saturday.

“It was mainly immediate family, a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing,” he explained, adding, “I am very happy to be where I am.”

The actor went on to reveal that tying the knot hasn’t really changed life for the couple, calling married life “the same but different,” noting that they’ve “been together for the better part of 10 years.”

“Thank you to my beautiful wife,” Hemsworth said near the end of his speech, prompting the audience to burst into loud applause.

“You are a sweet, sweet angel. You’re great, you’re great,” he continued, after which the “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” singer, 26, could be heard shouting from her seat, “More about me!”

He playfully added, “Yeah, I’ll tell you later.”
