Thanks Ericia. The best thing about the dress is that it cost me only $35.00. I love to bargain shop. I found it on the internet.

Re: AFRICAN-AMERICAN BRIDES

I have to order my invites, find a place to print menus or do it myself, find some napkin rings or make them, and finalize everything else....I'm addicted to the planning....the only sure thing I have stuck to is taking care and pampering me...anyone else?

Is anyone getting their passport re-newed....mine expires this May and I'm terrified to mail it in for a new one...with 9/11 and all I don't want any mix-ups or problems?

My boo-k will be a clutch of black magic roses tied ivory ribbon.

My CP will probably be set of pillar candles with rose petals and votive candles all around

Re: AFRICAN-AMERICAN BRIDES

the fg dress is from butterflyxc.com they just came in and they look GREAT in person. I am SO happy with the purchase. Another good thing is that they come with a headpiece

Here's a picture of my BO-OK.

Re: AFRICAN-AMERICAN BRIDES

The woman who is designing our invites said that we should have them ordered by the beginning of May at the latest. My bo-k looks alot like this but with roses and stephonitis(sp).

Re: AFRICAN-AMERICAN BRIDES

I have ordered my invitation.I've checked my order on line and they have been placed in the mail on 3-8-04. Can't wait to see them in person. I might even shed a tear or two. I still can't believe that I am getting married. What do you think of them?

Re: AFRICAN-AMERICAN BRIDES

Nice invites...Where did you order them from? I still haven't found any that I really like yet.

Ericia Posted: Mar 10, 2004 05:07 PM

Re: AFRICAN-AMERICAN BRIDES

They are really nice. I feel the same way - I can't believe I'm getting married. Being a bride-to-be is an amazing feeling.

Congrats to Chris & James!!! Welcome Aboard.
I've ordered my invitations from canadianwedding.com If anyone is looking for elegant and inexpensive bridal/bm shoes check out DSW. I've purchased a pair of open toe shoes with a nice heel and I can not believe how comfortable they are. I do not wear heels on a regular, so I was trully impressed with them.
