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...

I like this thread. I'm having a friend of the family do the make up and I'm just doing trials in the stores to see what colors I like. I hope we can reproduce the same look. I ran out of time to look for make up and the wedding is in 3 days!!

Hi Kisha - Did you ever find a steel band? I'm thinking about using Adlib Steel Band from Freeport. I heard them at wedding almost 2 years ago. I think they send you about 6 people.
