September will be a busy month for Chrissy Teigen. The four-time SI Swimsuit model is getting married to singer John Legend and gave one last gift to her fans -- a sexy new Galore Magazine spread -- before she is officially off the market. SwimDaily sat down with the bride-to-be to discuss her upcoming wedding, whether she plans to have children (and how many she wants) and how the Google Calendar has helped keep her relationship on course. Here's what she had to say:

On wedding planning:"The thing about planning a wedding is you'd think that I'm very into it and excited but i feel like the complete anti-bride. I love bridal shows. I love that kinda stuff. But that anxiety it gives me is just too much. I have an amazing planner. I let her take care of everything. Our wedding tasting menu … that's what I get excited about. Food. I'm happy with that."

On coordinating her and John coordinating their busy schedules:"Having a Google Calendar really helps. He goes to my calendar. I go to his. We put each other in each others calendars. it's very odd. But you try to go wherever you can. I mean I've gone to Korea to see him for a few hours I've gone all over the place because we know that we aren't going to have that moment again and it's fun. It makes for a fun lifestyle and I want to see him."

On her mother's influence:"My mom is everything to me. she is so funny. so sweet so loving so unique. growing up you never think of your parentrs as cool people and now that i'm grown up it's nice to see that my mo is someone i want to be just like."

On having kids:"I want to be a mom. I'm going to be a mom soon hopefully. I can't wait to have a ton of kids and be exactly the way my mom is."
