Okay ladies, I love all of the LIW Girls, but I thought it was time that we have a thread dedicated to African American Brides, so that we could discuss wedding and non-wedding related issues that are significant and or relate to women of color. So to start the thread off, could everyone introduce themselves? I am Landra...

you ladies who live in Brooklyn, are you going to get ready in Brooklyn or on LI. I'm thinking of getting a suite for my BMs and I. What are you gals doing
I have decided where ever my ceremony is going to be whether in BK or LI. I will be getting a suite for my BM and Myself. The church I go to is in BK and it is beautiful. I am still keeping my options open until I find out PRICES of course

My church is in BK so I will be getting ready at home.
Are you having a problem with people traveling from Bk to LI? That is one of my concerns

This is a possible problem for the older folks that dont drive. We are thinking of getting pick up and drop of service to take care of that.
Plus members of your BP can drop off their cars the night b4.

The church that we are getting married in I believe has a bilingual officiant since some days mass is in Creole.
Call them to find out. It is St. Judes in Canarsie.
We are not having a bilingual mass.

Hello Ladies,
I am so confused on what to give as favors.
I was thinking about the bottle of wines, red and white with personalized labels or the LOVE glass coasters and the bottle stoppers. Any ideas, please help, your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Darlene
Im ordering personalized shot glasses with our names and the wedding date on it, I'll probably fill them with something jelly beans but dont hold me to that

Is anyone going to 'jump the broom'? I want to but Im still not sure. If I do it I'll probably make my own because all the nice ones that I saw cost like $100

Okay ladies NEW TOPIC: Who is your florist and why did you select them? Can the 07' and 08' girls who have already booked their florist post pics of the centerpieces they are doing. Most of us 09' girls are going to start meeting with these types of vendors in late 07'.
I will probably use silk flowers. My FH is very allergic to real.
The florist we chose is:
Pedestals Floral Decorators 125 Herricks Road Garden City Park, NY Phone (516) 248-5300 Sorry i have no photos to show but they have a beautiful designs

We plan on going to Hawaii: Kaui, Maui, and Oahu. FMIL wants us to go to Spain and Italy, but she's not paying for a thing so you know where she can put her opinions
