Charlie Sheen's fiancée Brooke Mueller wants a huge wedding.

Mueller, a 29-year-old real estate investor, plans to pull out all the stops for the couple's big day but is in no rush to tie the knot yet.

She told People magazine: "I definitely want a big wedding, but Charlie and I haven't planned anything yet. We just got engaged and both of us want to enjoy the journey right now. We really want to live this part of our lives."

Sheen, 41, proposed with an 11-carat $500,000 engagement ring while they were holidaying in Costa Rica earlier this month, and Mueller admits it was a total shock.

She said: "I was totally caught off guard when he popped the question! We were having a romantic dinner in the hotel room with room service when he asked me to marry him. I was thrilled. I smiled all night and kept looking at the ring because it was so beautiful.

"Although everything is the same between us, I feel more part of the family now."

Mueller says she fell in love with Sheen's "brilliant" sense of humour and charm.

She gushed: "Charlie is brilliant and has the most captivating mind of anyone I know. He makes me laugh all of the time, and his witty one-liners are relentless. He is simply charming."

Mueller says she "adores" Sheen's daughters, two-year-old Lola and three-year-old Sam, from his previous marriage to actress Denise Richards.

Richards, who filed for divorce from Sheen in 2005, recently congratulated her ex-husband on his engagement.

She said: "I am genuinely happy for the two of them. In fact, I sent them flowers to congratulate them both. I've spent time with her and my girls really like her. That's all that matters to me."
