Michael Jai White Set to Marry Gillian Waters

The couple will tie the knot this Friday (July 3).

Michael Jai White is officially off the market. The Why Did I Get Married? actor recently announced that he is set to wed his fianceé, actress Gillian Waters, on Friday, July 3.

The couple's nuptials will take place in what is described as "an intimate but extravagant evening ceremony" in Thailand. White was there earlier this year directing his upcoming film Never Back Down 3. The wedding will be true to the Thai culture, according to the couple, including elephants and fireworks. 

White has been busy over the past few years, working on various Tyler Perry projects including Why Did I Get Married? and the sitcom For Better or Worse. Waters is also an experienced actress, having appeared on the classic hit sitcom Martin, the popular soap series Days of our Lives and the action-packed Xena: Warrior Princess.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
