John Legend 'sets wedding date'

John Legend will apparently wed his model girlfriend in January.

The successful singer-songwriter proposed to Chrissy Teigen during a romantic holiday in the Maldives last December.

Now, almost a year on, John and the Sports Illustrated model are believed to have set a time and place for the nuptials.

"John and Chrissy are getting married in January in North Carolina," a source revealed to RadarOnline.

The 33-year-old singer and the swimwear model had previously hinted they will get married at a 'random' location, but had tried to keep it under wraps.

Prior to getting engaged, John and the 26-year-old had been together for four years.

Radar reports that Chrissy is planning to wear a Vera Wang dress for their special day.

The beauty previously spoke out about the kind of gown she imagines herself walking down the aisle in.

"I know I don't want anything too satiny, shiny, hard crazy,' she said. 'I'm not going to be that ball-gown girl at all. I don't want to shock the guy coming down the aisle. I just want to be myself."
