Back in September (2007), I told you all Derrick Jones (former rapper D-Nice) had proposed to his girlfriend Malinda Williams. Time flies like a mug because next month, August 23, 2008 to be exact, the two, who have been dating for over three years, will officially become husband and wife. And we all know what comes before the big day: the bridal shower. Williams recently held her lavish bridal shower brunch in a "just a simple, intimate backyard get-together on a beautiful summer day." Eighteen guests were on hand, including Malinda’s mother Beverly Williams, and four of her five bridesmaids—Terri J. Vaughn, Vanessa Williams, and Malinda's sisters Leslie Dunn and Lisa Sorenson. Mingling among them were actresses Tasha Smith, Salli Richardson and Dawnn Lewis (A Different World) as well as fitness expert A.J. Johnson. The 5th bridesmaid, Nicole Ari Parker, was unable to attend. Williams, who played the bride’s big sister on Soul Food, told Essence: “I’m honored to be here as part of this [group] of gorgeous women who are surrounding Malinda with all of the love and light that she reflects.”
