There’s no lack of spice in the lives of newlyweds Mario<\/a> and Courtney Lopez.<\/p>\n

“The most romantic thing about Mario is his spontaneity,” Courtney told PEOPLE on Friday, just under a week after the two tied the knot in Mexico<\/a>. “He’s so spontaneous and it’s just fun to be with somebody [like that].”<\/p>\n

Mario, 39, explains that he keeps the romance fresh by “taking off for a quick trip or having little quickies here and there,” adding, “Kids and jobs and everything else gets in the way, but you can’t forget about each other.” <\/p>\n

As for Courtney, she turns the heat up in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

“The most romantic thing about my wife is the meals she cooks when I come home,” Mario said, before Courtney added with a laugh, “My grandma did tell me to cook for him in nothing but an apron and stilettos.”<\/p>\n

When it came to celebrating the couple’s Dec. 1 nuptials<\/a> \u2013 which were captured on camera for TLC’s Mario and Courtney’s Wedding Fiesta<\/em>, airing on Saturday \u2013 being together was the best present they could have received.<\/p>\n

“To be honest, we didn’t have a wedding registry and didn’t ask for any gifts,” Mario recently said. “We asked for people to donate to a charity. That was important to us.”<\/p>\n

Adds the X Factor<\/em><\/a> host, “We had so many people say that was the best wedding ever. Oh my god, it was so much fun.”<\/p>\n

With their wedding day under their belt, the pair has another celebration nearing.<\/p>\n

The couple teamed up with Nivea this year to help kick off the “Kiss of the Year” contest on Facebook<\/a>, and they will head to Times Square in New York City for New Year’s Eve to be with the winning pair, who can be voted on through Dec. 14.<\/p>\n

“There were over 1,400 entries,” Courtney says. “All of the stories were amazing. It was so hard to narrow it down to just three couples.”<\/p>\n

Their holiday destination has a special significance.<\/p>\n

“We love New York,” Mario says. “It’s where we met and fell in love.”<\/p>\n

As for their first kiss, Courtney says with a laugh, “Oh, yeah, I remember it. He pounced me!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
