Jennifer Hudson was a vision in red as she accepted her 2011 “Women Doing Good” award from Self Magazine in New York City, September 13, 2011.

Self Magazine’s Women Doing Good Awards acknowledges women who “saw a need, hatched a plan, then changed the world for the better” and I’m assuming Jennifer’s 88lb weight loss fit the bill.

Jennifer also brought her adorable son David Otunga, Jr. with her to the festivities and he’s looking more and more like his daddy everyday!

In case you were wondering when and/or IF Jennifer Hudson and her baby daddy will ever tie the knot, I have the answer + more photos below:

Jennifer revealed to InTouch Weekly, that she’s always had a date in mind:

?I?ve always had a [wedding] date! I just haven?t told anybody! So it?s set!?

Jen already has a dress but she’s still trying to decide how big she wants her wedding to be.

?See, that?s what I?m trying to decide!? Jennifer admitted with a laugh, confessing that she still going back and forth on the size of her ceremony.

?One minute I want the biggest wedding ever, and the next second I?m like, I?m not sure if I want big or small, or if it?s just family.?

The bride-to-be admits though, she’s never been in too much of a rush to get married.

I?ve been through a lot in my life and I?m just trying to take it one step at a time.

I?m one of those girls, like, ?Okay, let me get used to this right here! Give me a second!?

I hear ya Jen! Take your time and ‘do you’!

I personally feel that marriage is becoming a dying institution these days, but I hope that we all fall back on traditional values one day. It’s crazy how the gayz are all fighting for the right to marry, while those of us who always could… don’t. *sigh*

It used to be ‘first comes love, them comes marriage’ Now it’s more like, ‘first comes baby number 1, then baby number 2, then maybe we’ll get hitched one day’.?

Maybe Bob Whitfield was right when he wrote “L.O.V.E. is a Non-MuthaF*ckin Factor”….

Why do you think that Marriage is becoming a “last resort” in relationships and not the “first thought”?
