Alright so I recently stumbled upon the old thread and noticed how long it was. Also most of the brides from it are gone so I figured we should start a new one! So girls lets introduce ourselves.
I' m from Trinidad but came here when I was 8 mos. I've been back about 4 times. FH is from Guyana, (figures right?)
We have been together for a long time and now that this wedding is happening, I am trying to plan the wedding of my dreams while still incorporating some of the good ol tradition, that the In laws want
Anyone else?

Hi Ladies!!
I am Jamaican born and raised!! FH is Jamaican but he cam here since he was 9 years old.
I am trying to incorporate a lot of West Indian culture in the wedding as I can, but I still want to keep it modern. So the in-laws better back off cause I am not too traditional!!
I am having steel pan as well and i'm getting a black cake for favors and ofcourse I am using a Jamaican DJ!!!

Re: **New OFFICIAL West Indian Brides Thread**
welcome to msmahogany and noelsgirl...I prob didnt spell those right, sorry. I'm glad to see the thread growing though. My name is Reanna, pronounced like the singer but spelled different
So where do you ladies live? I live in queens, ozone park, and you probably know that richmond hill/ozone park/jamaica is the mecca for West Indians

Hey, My name is Kamai and I live in Jamaica Queen s as well. I am so happy that someone started this thread again because the others died out very fast. I know that we can help eachother so lets try to keep this one alive. I love the ladies on here but it's great to have ppl that share the wonderful WestIndian Culture.

Hey, I am Sheena. FH and I are from Jamaica. We live in FL but getting married in NY. We have been together for over 8 years.
I came to the states when I was 4 years old but go back every year.
I look forward to meeting all the newer WI brides on this thread.
I love your monogram by the way. Can you make me one please?
Hi Sheena, I live in NY but FH lives in FL. We have a place in West Palm Beach. I will be moving there after the wedding. Next month makes 7yrs that we have been together. I came to the states when I was 10, he has been her since he was 3.

Hey Kamai, I live in Ft. Lauderdale. I'm not far from your home. We bought a place here last year but been living in FL for a little over 2 years. I told you this before but you better call me when you get here. Or else

My name is Lana and I think I am the only Brooklyn West Indian bride on the boards.
And I actually have no West Indian vendors. Our DJ is Indian but thankfully he knows his West Indian music as well as he does the Indian music; I won't have to school him on the soca, reggae, and chutney music.

Hello ladies. I am Half Jamaican and half American (another Jamerican). FH is also American. With that said both his friends and my friends aka the wedding party are from almost every caribbean island you can imagine. Needless to say Reggea/calypso/soca will be heavily rotated along with those old school roots and culture tunes. We love hip hop/RnB too so we found a DJ who will find time for it all. I am also using a steel drum band provided by my RH.
