Malinda Williams covers the February issue of Upscale Magazine. Williams is planning an August 2008 wedding to rapper/producer Derrick “D-Nice” Jones, dressed in long black satin gloves and a red strapless mermaid gown, on the cover, Malinda had this to say in an interview:
Where did you get your gown? “I got it actually from a retailer here in Los Angeles—I’m not sure if I want to say—it’s actually a Maggie Sottero dress. I knew the look [I wanted] because I’m very petite. And a lot of these wedding gowns are extremely heavy. And they are a lot of fabric. When I wear too much fabric it tends to over take me and I look like a girl popping out of a cake. So I kind of knew what type of look I could pull off, and I started on my journey. When I found it, it was actually by another designer. I took a picture of it to this boutique, and I asked the boutique owner if she could find me something similar; the bottom of the dress is what I was wanted but the top wasn’t quite what I wanted. She found a dress by Maggie Sottero, and it was almost exactly what I wanted. It was actually what I showed her except the top is want I wanted it to be.”
id you know that was the dress right away?
“I definitely had to go through that process. They showed it to me, and I still had a little skeptical look, so I said let me see what it will look like on me. But I tried it on and then we proceeded accessorizing. And that was when I started to hear the bells, ‘Oh my God,I’m going to be a bride.’”

What about the wedding are you most looking forward to?
“There are two things I’m looking forward to: The actually exchanging of the vows in front of all of our witnesses, in front of our families, our friends and our parents. I’m really looking forward to that, because that is the part where you stand before God and say, ‘I’m here to walk this walk with you.’ You proclaim it in front of 250 people for life. And I’m looking forward to the party.”

Will “Call me D-Nice” be your first dance song?
“That wouldn’t be a first dance, but that’s definitely a must play [she laughs]. Honestly, it’s so crazy, when he proposed to me when we were hanging out at the house and listening to Common’s new album Finding Forever. And one of his songs–that is ironically titled Forever Begins–was playing when he proposed to me. And we both decided, you know what, that’s going to be our first dance. When we come in, we are going to dance to that song because of the title, “Forever Begins.” That is the moment where forever begins…”(SOURCE)
