Sherri Shepherd of ‘The View’ talks wedding plans.

Sherri Shepherd will wed TV writer Lamar Sally in August and is now talking details with sources.

The 43 year old talk show co-host of ‘The View’ said Sally is her perfect match for her. “I’ve got a really great friend. he keeps me laughing all the time. I think laughter is No. 1. He’s silly and I’m silly, I think that’s a great match.”

Shepherd said the wedding cake will be very simple, adding, it will be red velvet. She said, “I love anything red velvet.” As for possible honeymoon destinations, the bride-to-be said, “We’re looking at Thailand or somewhere over in Europe. We want to go somewhere exotic.”

Shepherd also says she has been working with son, Jeffrey, who is almost 6, showing him how to escort her down the aisle. She said, “I’m just teaching him how to walk down slowly, instead of running, and I’m just going to ask him, please don’t say, ‘Mommy, I gotta pee.’ Can you just hold it for 45 minutes?”

Shepherd plans to slim down before the big day and said she has not started shopping for a dress yet. She has hired a personal trainer who has her doing squats, lunges and lifting weights. She hopes to get down to a “single digit” size before the big day.
