(CNN) -

Jessica Biel says she's in no hurry to walk down the aisle.

The actress, who is engaged to longtime love Justin Timberlake, told the Chicago Sun-Times she's just "enjoying being engaged" for now.

Biel told the publication she's done "almost nothing" to prepare for her nuptials, despite rumors that she and Timberlake will tie the knot later this summer.

"I do feel like there is a lot of time and nothing needs to be rushed. Everyone tells me that being engaged is the really special moment," Biel said, adding, "Not that it gets bad when you get married! But being engaged is just absolutely amazing. You're in this romantic, ahhhhh, breathless moment that I'm just trying to extend as long as possible."

Though it seems we'll have to wait to see Biel as a bride, fans can catch her in "Total Recall" when the action flick hits theaters on Friday.
