Gabourey Sidibe Doesn’t Plan On Having A Traditional Wedding

"I'm super against tradition," she said. "I definitely don't need a white dress. My favorite look [from the Brides shoot] was the pink African print. Honestly, whatever I wear on the wedding day will probably be African print. It might have a little white, so it looks like a wedding dress, but it's definitely going to be colorful."

They are also a DIY couple and plan on taking some of the wedding responsibilities into their own hands with a little outside help.

"We like to outsource, but we're both very involved in everything we do. We're creative people and we're both pretty good at executing, so we'll have someone [helping], but we'll definitely be super involved," Brandon said.

Gabourey and Brandon made their relationship Instagram official in 2019 after meeting on the members-only dating app Raya. In the actress’ engagement announcement, she gave some insight into their humor and love for one another.

“The funniest man I’ve ever met. The sweetest human to exist,” she wrote. “@brandontour made up a song for when i put my bonnet on at night. The second I look a bit stressed and overwhelmed, he jumps into action to take over what he can for me. Every moment with him is a joy. He is the partner i thought I was too independent to need.”

She concluded her post by calling him “my partner, my best friend, my cats’ daddy, my mans, my heart, my fiancé!!!”

The couple plan to get married in spring 2023.
