***Official African American Brides Thread***

Original post by PoeticJustice

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...

Hi ladies Im China, Im getting 7/27/07. I was just skimming around and heard some great advice. Im Haitian and FH is German and black. I have a dilemma, My wedding date techincal was supposed to be 7/08 due to our financial budget, we just brought a house about 1yr ago, and we decided it will be best in 08. But when we announced the news to my parents, they were astatic about the hold thing and said that 2008 is too far away, they insist that 2007 is a better year. Fine, FH and I agreed that 2008 will be to far. I booked almost all the important stuff so far, the only thing left is limo, which I have no idea where to go, since everyone is out there to rip you off. Ok long story short , back to my dilemma. I havent received my enagement yet. So when I tell getting married they look at my hand and say where is the ring. So tired of that, but I guess its the norm. But to make matters worst my MOH is bashing on my FH, she insist that he goes out and buy me any ring for now and an a couple of months get the real thing. Why should I settle, my enagement ring cost $8,000 and thats the one I want and he promise me thats the one im going to get, So why settle. What she's forgetting is that our wedding so far is at $60.000 not including rings and honeymoon.

PS. MOH also thinks $60,000 is too much for a wedding, But I look at it like this, one only get married once, so do it up or dont do it at all.

Wow, that's a lot of money. For limos I would suggest All Star Limo. They are highly recommended and with your budget, you should be able to easily afford it.

I am close to that budget as well. There are so many limo companies out there that you can pick and choose who comes in at the right price.
