Duck Dynasty's Willie and Korie Robertson are really excited about their son John Luke's wedding to Mary Kate McEacharn this summer, and are dishing about the preparations they are currently making for it.

"We're meeting with the wedding planner Monday and things are coming along," Korie told FOX411. However, there is something about the upcoming nuptials that the Robertsons seem to be having difficulty with: the invite list.

"The hardest part is figuring out the invite list," admitted Korie. "We've got big families."

As for Willie, the Duck Dynasty dad said that he is trying to be on his best behaviour in preparation for his son's big day, especially since he has a knack for putting his children in embarrassing situations.

"I embarrass them a lot. I embarrass the heck out of them but that's kind of my job," he said. "It's fun playing that role."

However, there is one Robertson family member that may have beaten Willie when it comes to embarrassing the kids, and that is the show's patriarch Phil. The eldest family member of Duck Dynasty is quite outspoken, so much so that he has landed himself in hot water several times for speaking his views.

The only upside to Willie and Phil's habit of putting the youngsters in awkward situations is the fact that John Luke, Sadie, and the rest of the young Robertsons have learned how to best deal with embarrassment.

"We've taught them to laugh at themselves, and we can certainly laugh at ourselves," said Willie.

Earlier, John Luke told E! News that he is pretty excited to marry his best friend, and he is looking up to his parents' marriage as an example.

"I know my parents married young as well, and they have always been examples of what 'could be' to me. Fast-forward 22 years and they are more in love than ever, and I hope Mary Kate and I are the same way in the years to come. God has truly blessed us," he said.
