I dont have a picture of my dress here at work - but it is the very first dress I tried on after I tried about 10 - I didnt want to try on too many and get confused

Tae - I LOVE YOUR 'WOULD YOU BE MY BM CARDS?' I just asked over the phone - nothing formal

I dont think there is anything extra you should buy. I did because I wanted certain things like charger plates and chair bows.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

i'm too fickle to actually book a hall.. lol. i'm als on EBP -i'm the chick who has decided on crest hollow... no woodbury....no crest hollow.. ....then i went for the food tasting last night and now i am back at square one.. literally.. with no clue as to which hall to pick...

i was working with veronica.. and they had the most fabulous cd playing throughout the food tasting.. it was a jazz hip hop cd.. oh my goodness talk about great music..

(oh and i became 'officially' engaged last night as I got my ring!!! . it's so pretty!!!)
