Kelly Rowland is following up an unusual engagement with unusual wedding plans that involve no guests – not even immediate family.
Rumors initially suggested that Kelly was feeling bitter about Beyonce when it was revealed that Queen Bey wasn’t on Kelly’s guest list, but the R&B star has cleared the air and as it turns out there isn’t a guest list for her wedding at all.
After her boyfriend and manager, Tim Witherspoon, proposed over Skype, the “Dirty Laundry” songstress decided she just wanted her wedding day to involve her husband and her pastor.
“I think we just really want it to be us and our pastor,” she told People. “That’s it. I mean, we are the only two that’s going to be in the marriage.”
The guest list, or lack thereof, comes as a major shock for friends and family, but Kelly explained that she really didn’t want people being nosy on her big day.
“Everyone is there just to be nosy and see who I’m wearing,” she added. “I’m OK.”
In addition to not wanting nosy guests, Kelly also admitted that she’s still a penny-pinching celebrity despite the fact that she makes an ample amount of money.
“You have to pay for food for everyone and I’m not down with that,” she said before laughing.
The size of her wedding will be the direct opposite of the size of her ring.
While the couple decided to have a small, private wedding, Kelly’s ring is gigantic.
When she sat down with Queen Latifah for her first appearance on “The Queen Latifah Show” on Wednesday, Kelly showed off her dazzling 4-carat-plus cushion-cut engagement ring and gushed over her new fiance.
“We’ve kept [our relationship] very, very low – for years, to be completely honest,” she explained before talking about the night he proposed via Skype. “He asked me first on Skype, and I was like, ‘We’re so far away from each other!’ [But] it was that simple to say yes. I have my best friend to ride through life with.”
An exact date wedding date hasn’t been set just yet, but there is a good chance that Kelly might have her private ceremony under the radar, without announcing the date before hand.
