To prepare for her big walk down the aisle, she has only made one request to her father, former United States President Bill Clinton.

"She doesn't think I'm in shape," Clinton (63) said.

In addition to helping his daughter plan her big day, Clinton said he was told that he's "gotta look good."

"I said, 'Well, what's your definition?' And she said, 'Oh, about 15 pounds,'" he added.

Easy task

An effort that is sure to please his daughter, Clinton revealed that he is already "halfway home" to his goal weight.

Wedding tough
She's known for making tough decisions, but US secretary of state Hillary Clinton said in February that she is still trying to decide what to wear to Chelsea's wedding. "I don't have a dress yet," she said. Hillary admitted planning the wedding was almost as tough as Middle East peace talks.

However, shedding pounds may be the easiest task for the former President.

"I just hope I can keep it together [until] I walk her down the aisle and do the handoff," Clinton previously said on the Today show.

Chelsea (30), is set to wed her childhood friend, investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, this summer. Luckily for the bride-to-be, she has her father's blessing. Though The New York Post has confidently announced a July 31 date, the information has not been confirmed.

"I like and I admire my prospective son-in-law," Clinton said.

"I feel grateful that they have been such close friends for half of Chelsea's life. I look forward to what they do together, and I'm happy about that."
