***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...

I'm a 09 bride soI thought I had time but, I was wrong so I think I'm going to book photo and video right after I decide on my hall. Any photo/video suggestions??

Hope the meet and greet went well! I've never heard of that before. Was it just the family or bridal party too?

I booked Raphael Gordon for my wedding. He has a really good reputation and FH and I loved his style. I've also heard good things about Ultimate Sounds.

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

it was just family.. no bridal party yet.. i think we're going to have a bbq later on this summer. cause i had SOO much fun!! I feel bad though.. my mom put the thing together and paid for it, and pretty much made the announcement.s i hate talking in a crowd like that so i didn't say anything and now i feel like i should have gottne up and said a formal thank you for her putting the engagement party together in front of everyone..

but my fh and i took thie fabulous picure so i'm going to put it in a frame an give her as a picture.. or maybe do a mypublisher book as a thank you.. i need to give her something..

raphael gordon as a dj.. i will look it up!!

Sounds nice. I'm sure your mom knows how you are. She was probably happy to do the talking but I think giving her a gift of thanks would be nice and appreciated (I'm sure). If you have a bbq later in the summer maybe you can talk your FH into doing the talking.

This is the website for Raphael. mmidjs.com FM me if you want more info.
