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...

We are using After Hours because they are nationwide
I would do my research on AH first . . . start by searching on the Brides Review board.

Very interesting question - If you and your FH want to have it on a certain date then you should not let your sister dictate anything. However, what is her reasoning for not wanting you all to get married on a Thursday night?? Are there other members of your family that oppose it?
Her reasoning is that everyone might not have off. So far no one else opposes once I give them the reasoning. Since July 4 falls on Saturday most jobs are observing it on July 3 & giving people Friday off.

Thanks everyone. I'm sticking to the Thursday night. If FH's family can take off days to fly in from Arizona then my family can make it work too since the RH is 5 minutes from my house.

How is everyone doing? How is the planning?
How is ur planning chica?
I am doing great - No complaints - i actually have nothing to really do at this point. I am at work trying to do my table names - but besides that peace and quiet until May. I know you are done -
Must be nice Jarvis. One part of me feels like there is so much time and the other part says work work work, get it done
