Aretha Franklin is engaged to longtime friend William "Willie" Wilkerson.
The Grammy-winning singer said in a statement on Monday that she and Wilkerson are considering a summer wedding, perhaps in Miami Beach, Florida. The Queen of Soul wants to follow the ceremony with a reception on a private yacht.
The 69-year-old jokes: "No, I'm not pregnant."
Franklin and Wilkerson became engaged over the holidays.
She is considering Vera Wang, Valentino and Donna Karan to design her dress. Franklin has been married twice before.
