(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jennifer Hudson is reportedly working on wedding plans again as she wants to move on with her life.

The actress' former brother-in-law William Balfour was recently convicted of killing her mother, brother and nephew in 2008. He is facing a life prison sentence.

Jennifer attended every day of his trial and now it is over she wants to focus on something positive. She has been engaged to David Otunga for over three years and now wants to tie the knot.

"Jennifer feels she can now close the door on that terrible chapter in her life and start again by planning a wedding - and that her late mother would approve," a source told National Enquirer.

"She said she couldn't have a celebration like a wedding until there was a conclusion to the murder trial, so she put it off. David was supportive and agreed with her completely. "

The pair want to wed in Chicago, which is where Jennifer is from. It's important to the 30-year-old star that her friends and family including her and David's two-year-old son David Jr. are present when she says her vows.

"Having the wedding in Chicago is important because that's her home and that's what her mom would've wanted. It's a private tribute from Jennifer to her mother," the insider said. (C) Cover Media
