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...

okey dokey.. got the first pics up in the album.. gonna go put some more in there now.. do any of u ladies have a wedding webpage?
I started mine but will probably not send the email out until I send the save the dates.
You should consider finishing it before b/c I'm gonna add it to the STD and put it under Invitation to follow. That way you can give your OOT guest info through the website. Just a thought.
Very good idea

OMG Joan (girlfriends) is finally getting married. I stopped watching the show when Tony left, I'm glad I saw it tonight. She was so desperate, it's finally happening for her.

I know something seems to always happen whenever she is happy. I was waiting for Tony to walk in the door after her parents. Tony was my favorite.

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***
Need to vent for a moment - I am having the worse time trying to determine what to do for my bachelorette party without spending too much money - I think I want to do spa, dinner then the city - Spa (100-300 - depending on the service ) - Dinner up to 60 - City - up to 50 --- is that asking too much?

It depends, whose paying for it? If its ur MOH and the BM then it is too much. B/c they have to pay for there clothes, hair, makeup and most likely be paying for your shower. JMO

I completely agree - trying to work out what else we can do without breaking everyone's pockets....

That does seem like a lot of money… Maybe instead of going to a spa, just have manicures & pedicures done at a nice nail salon & then all go out for dinner....

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***
I agree... manis & pedis at a nice salon and then dinner/city is alot more practical and you can still have fun. Maybe you could share some of the expense by treating them to dinner (depending on the size of your party and the restaurant).
Also... if your girls have it to spend then go for it.

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***
I just thought about something... why don't you throw some ideas out to your bridal party and let them plan it? This way you know they are doing something they can afford.

We havebeen throwing ideas for a while - Mohegan Sun, AC, Spa Day, pole dancing lessons - and I have been getting mixed reactions. However one of my BM's started doing some research today and hopefully it will work out

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***
Hi Girls what is everyone up to. Question does anyone mind FM'ing me your limo quotes and what it included? A friend of mine said he has someone that can get me a good deal on our limos and he wants me to talk to him. I would rather not speak to him until I get an idea of other pricing options out there.
