    “The great thing about it was that we didn’t have to go to a lot of trouble to find a location for it or come up with anything,” Lowe, 60, tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story, which celebrates the most defining moments in the Hollywood icon’s life.

    “It was very quiet. Nobody knew they were coming to a wedding. We didn’t want the word to get out. It was just for us.”

    He adds: “I only have great memories. There was no stress about it.”

    Lowe admits that 63-year-old Sheryl did most of the planning and put together the perfect experience within just a month of his proposal.

    Lowe says he envisioned a future with Sheryl years before they got married.

    “I’ve been fortunate enough to have a few ‘aha’ moments, as they say. Actually, it goes much further than that: they are profound, life-changing, instinctive, crystal-clear, certain experiences of God, and one of them was when Sheryl and I were on vacation in Fiji as boyfriend and girlfriend,” he says.
