YES, we're late....

Congratulations to Lance Gross and Eva Marcille! The TopModel winner/actress and the NAACP award-winning actor were engaged during a family ski vacation on Christmas Eve! Gross presented Marcille with the 3.36-carat 1895 Pave Cartier ring after using a pillow he'd wrapped as her Christmas present to ask her hand. I hear that the plans are hinting towards the summer of next year. Hey Eva....CB has ALLL the ideas, for every budget, on how to turn your party out! We know you're a TopModel, but Tyra got nothing on us when it comes to brides! Congratulations!

Chocolatebrides.com congratulates Jennifer Hudson!

From the Associated Press:

NEW YORK (AP) — Jennifer Hudson got a big surprise on her 27th birthday: an engagement ring.
Hudson's beau, David Otunga, popped the question while celebrating the actress-singer's big day in Los Angeles on Friday, her publicist, Jessica Kolstad, said Monday.
The couple have not yet set a wedding date, Kolstad said.
Hudson won a best supporting actress Oscar in 2007 for her role in "Dreamgirls." Her film credits also include "Sex and the City" and the upcoming "The Secret Life of Bees." The "American Idol" alum will release her debut solo album Sept. 30.
Otunga appeared as a contestant nicknamed "Punk" on the VH1 reality dating show "I Love New York 2."

Congratulations Jennifer and David! Can't wait to see how beautiful of a CB you're destined to be!
