Whitney Cummings has revealed the special role her 2-year-old son, Henry, might have in her upcoming wedding to professional skateboarder Chris Cole.
The comedian, 43, caught up with PEOPLE exclusively at An Unforgettable Evening, an annual fundraising gala that supports breast cancer research and awareness, in Beverly Hills, Calif., on March 11.
Cummings, who hosted the event, shared details about her upcoming nuptials — including the fact that her son might help give her away.
“He might walk me down the aisle. I don't have a dad,” said Cummings, who lost her father in 2013.

Cummings announced that she had welcomed a baby boy in an Instagram post in December 2023. While she has never publicly revealed the identity of Henry’s dad, she has confirmed that the pair are not together and instead have opted to co-parent.

While speaking about their wedding at the recent An Unforgettable Evening event, Cummings said that she still has a lot of details to iron out.
“I did also want to have all my girlfriends walking me down the aisle to be like, you're marrying all of us,” she added. “Because the biggest thing for me in a man [is] like — sorry to quote the Spice Girls — but you're marrying all my girlfriends.”
“But I have too many girlfriends for that. So I'm really trying to figure it out,” she added.
Cummings said she and Cole have yet to decide on a venue, and she’s still not sure if she wants the celebration to be small and intimate or massive.

“I'm vacillating between getting married at Tokyo Disneyland, like just the two of us, and a thousand people at Dave & Buster's. I am so all over the place,” she told PEOPLE.
“I looked at [the California boutique hotel] Madonna Inn. I really like it … It's the most fantastic place I've ever been in my life. It's all pink,” she continued.
“Then I'm like, ‘Do I do it in an animal sanctuary because I'm an animal person?’ But my friends are too annoying. I won't let them around horses. So I'm just trying to figure it out,” she continued.

As for her bridal look, Cummings said she’s “deep in eBay wedding dresses.”
“You'd be surprised how many women buy never-worn wedding dresses on eBay. You'll get a wild story and a very inexpensive, never-worn wedding dress. And you're helping out a woman who probably called off her wedding. You can get a Vera Wang never-worn wedding dress for a thousand dollars,” she said.
The 2 Broke Girls co-creator also revealed the unconventional way she ended up with her “dream” engagement ring.
“I got a ring from Nikki Reed's collection called Bayou. She let me borrow it for a TV show I did on Fox, and then I was like, ‘Oh, I'm not sending it back. So what are my options? Are you taking me to court? It belongs to me now, but I can't afford to pay for it,' ” she recalled.
Cummings continued: “She said, ‘Okay, just do a photo shoot for the brand’ — which was not at all equivalent to what it cost. And I had this '81 Silverado that I bought during the pandemic … And she saw it in my house or my driveway and she was like, ‘This is the car I've been wanting forever.’ "
“And I was like, ‘Great news. It's yours … This is your dream car. This is my dream ring. You can have this car, and we're even.’ "
“So I'm kind of into bartering for my wedding,” Cummings added.
