I understand - but You have over a year - so if you want to get it done - I say go for it - or simply pace yourself

Definitley trying the whole pace myself thing. The problem is right now I have over a year but I can get sent away for work at any moment for 5 months. That's what worries me. My schedule is unpredictable.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

Planning is going pretty good so far...right now I'm working on BM dresses. It's so hard to find something that everyone likes. One wants to look like a hoochie mama (not at MY wedding, save that for the club) and the other wants to look like she's going to a funeral (jet black, long sleeve dresses for a May wedding, WHAT? I don't think so) I'm hoping that we will find a compromise.

Very opposite ends of the spectrum! How many are in your party?

I'm only having 4 BMs and 2 Junior BMs. The problem is that my oldest sister is going to be in my bridal party and she is the one who wants a more conservative dress and one of my good friends from high school is also in the BP and she plans on finding a FH of her own at my wedding so she wants to be as sexy as possible. That other 2 BMs are pretty easy to please.
