Misty revealed to ESSENCE magazine back in August that she and actor Taye Diggs’ cousin were engaged. At the time she admitted, “I can'tbelieve my life right now.” Following news of the engagement, the 33-year-old told E! News that she wanted to keep her big day “classy” and “simple.”
She explained, “I get to become a fairy princess onstage and wear incredible costumes and gowns to galas so, for me, I just wantto have a simple, as easy-going day as I can have and just not have it be a bigshow. I just want it to be simple and classy and not feel like I’m in a tutu.”
