I cannot access EBP from here but when I go home I will see you

I am MrsB2B on there - There are lots of ladies that use EBP and LIW

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***

ok. thanks

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***

I've worn hair extensions/weaves for almost 5 years straight withOUT a break. Which resulted in badly damaged hair, even though when i started wearing the fake hair, my hair was long and extremely healthy, I dont know why i even started with the weaves.

Now, i went to the salon and had my hair weave/extensions removed, and cut my hair down to about 2' long in length.

I hate the fact that i gotta get up every morning and curl my hair.

I need a hair regimen. Please help.

so i just posted pics of my DIY invites in an album (we started mailing them out like a week ago). Take a peek, and let me know what you ladies think

p.s sorry for the bad pic, i lost our digital camera so we had to take the pics with our webcam

I just checked your photo album. You have so many fabulous ideas! I can't believe you are pressed about the RH. You're wedding is going to be beautiful!

Oh yeah, I like the invites too. They are very pretty. Especially the belly band.

I feel your pain. I've been wearing braids for 8 years straight & my edges are just starting to break. I don't want to get a perm & my natural hair is quite a bit of work. I'm trying to figure out a way to give my edges a break but don't want to give up the ease of braids.

Do you know how to sleep without messing up your hair. That's the skill I acquired when my hair was short. This way you can tie a scarf around the edges and you won't have to curl it every day. Do you have a picture of yourself with the style?

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***

WRONG!!! OH NO.. i dindn't see nothing i liked.. and what i did like was 900 dollars!! what world was i in!! so now i know i need to keep my eye out for dresses..

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***

the sterling is a gorgeous hall!! and very reasonable!! i don't htink u need to do any decorating.. i think we as brides focus too much on how the place looks.. i went to two weddings last year and i cna't tell u how any of the halls looked.. lol. but i can tell u how happy the bride and groom looked..

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***

yes Jen, I def recommend at least going out and taking a peek. Someone mentioned beautiful bride in lynbrook is having a sale.. i'm gonna stop in there.. i was surprised at the entire shopping for dresses experience. the bridesmaid dresseds in davids looked like cheap prom wear, the bridal gowns were super heavy and stuffed onto racks, so they were hard to get off the rack to just look at. i was in there 15 minutes. it felt like 2 hours. .so now i know i need to go out every once in a while nad take a peek.. what plans have you been making? so far we've booked the hall and are bout to make our second payment.. that's it though.

Taking a peek can't hurt. I have an idea of what I'm looking for but I've only looked at pictures online. I've booked the hall & made the second payment but haven't done much else yet but research. Now I'm working on a theme, colors & save the date cards. I think I want the save the date cards & invites to have the same theme/colors so I've really focused on that.
