Julianne Hough's country singer boyfriend Chuck Wicks says the two are now "very much in love" -- but when he first met Julianne, he gave her a nervous pick up line.

"My famous pick-up line was, 'The catering is great', and then I walked away. I was so nervous," Chuck tells People about meeting the "Dancing with the Stars" performer.

Chuck and Julianne met this summer while on tour with Brad Paisley. Now the singer says they "are a laid back, normal couple."

Chuck says he'll be spending his Thanksgiving with Julianne and her family, followed by Christmas in Nashville.
