"Our first wedding was in our home, but we're going to do it again so that our family can enjoy it," Monica told me yesterday at the Grammys.

The two announced last month that they quietly tied the knot in November after getting engaged the month before.

"We're going to go all out and have a good time," Monica said. "I'm Southern and he's from Chicago. I'm very close to my mom and my family, but I'm also very close to my in-laws, so we just want to have one big party."

Location?

"I think we're going to do it here or in Europe," Monica said. "We're going to have to decide over the next week. But you know, what we did was we it with each other, for each other and committed our lives to one another, so we didn't really need anybody else there."

As for a wedding dress, Monica's thinking something from her Grammys designer, Stephane Roland: "I want to talk to them and see if they make gowns because I want something really edgy and really fun."
