JENNIFER HUDSON STILL GETTING MARRIED: ''WE'VE SET A DATE, WE'RE JUST NOT TELLING''

Contrary to rumors that she had called her wedding off earlier last year, Jennifer Hudson says she is definitely getting married to her long term fiancé David Otunga…

In an exclusive interview with NBC’s ‘Dateline’ to be aired this coming Sunday, J. Hudson talks to Lester Holt about her upcoming wedding and why she chooses to keep the wedding date a secret.

Check out excerpts of the interview below

On how David saved her life
I remember it like yesterday. And I was literally pickin’ up my bags to walk out the door to go to my mother’s house. And he called me, like, “Can you come out here instead of going, you know?” And I was like, “Okay, sure.” And that one decision, that one thing, I wouldn’t be sittin’ here.

On David asking for her hand in marriage
[He has] a sweet romantic side, too. He’s very old-fashioned. Something he proved in August 2008 when he took the opportunity to ask my mom for, you know, permission to propose. And she gave her blessing.

On the upcoming nuptials
Oh, we’ve set the date. We’re just not telling. … no, not telling. Some things you keep to yourself. (but) I could tell you about my dress if you want to hear about the dress… It’s a show. It has three pieces to it. I designed it myself. It has a coat for the entrance and then when I get ready to walk, you take that part off. And then it’s another dress. And then by the time I get to the alter, it’s a whole new dress
