***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...

What about MJB? She's in love (with someone who loves her back) now so she should have something you can use.

Yeah I agree MJB has quite a few nice love songs on her newest CD....
What about Sade?... I love the song, Kiss of life. The lyrics are very sweet.

John Legend has a few good songs between his two albums.

Hey ladies
Our first dance was to 'Love Ballad' by Jeffery Osborn and 'Stay with You' By John Legend.
Our bridal party came in on (at the RH) 'Shine' by Luther Vandross.
At the church I came in on 'For You' by Kenny Latimore and my BM's came in on 'You' by Jesse Powell.

Hi Ladies -
My planning is moving slowly. I feel like there's still so much to do. I'm loving every minute of it though.

I've given my FH the responsibility of selecting the DJ but of course I want to 'help' him with the decision.

Who are you all using? -and- Is $1,000 really the starting price for someone who will have us dancing all night?

Please help me help him.

Yes, that's the starting price.
My DJ charged me that price.

Song lists are very important.

Especially the 'Must Play' and 'Absolutely Do Not Play' lists.

I concur. Not too sure if my Mom would appreciate 'Wangsta' that day.
