I love the first dress as well.

Oh those are so cute! Great idea!

Your ring is very pretty! Im glad the situation worked out in your favor. I am definitely staying away from Ultra jewelry store. Would you mind sharing which location you guys went to?

Janine I love the hairstyle in the first picture. That would look really good with a birdcage veil.

Congratulations! Your photos are beautiful. I love the underwater TTD shots simply amazing. I like her style!

Hey Ashley welcome to the forum! There is a thread for April 2011 brides you should find a lot of helpful information.

Congratulations! Your wedding was beautiful and you look gorgeous!

Danyelle, Nope I didnt chop my hair off at once. My stylist refused to relax my hair anymore claiming it was paper thin when she finished. So every two weeks she would just straighten my hair with the old school hot comb. I love your natural hair because it is so thick and full. My hair is really thin so I just normally wear it straight. During the summer I just get a sew in and just wash and go. You do a good job with styling your hair I think you should be able to pull that hair style off.

Congratulations you were a beautiful bride and your wedding was also beautiful!

I havent had a relaxer in 5 years and I dont plan on getting one or allowing my daughter to get one.

I am sorry to hear about you guys loss. I agree with everyone you guys should definitely do something to honor him. Maybe even list him on the program as the best man but in parenthesis but in memorium.

Congratulations! Which location did you use in Negril and can you please post some photos?

Congratulations on your engagement Nicole! Welcome to the forum!

Great job. The invites look great! You guys saved a lot of money with this DIY project.

Then we turn the music on and start party walking together or stepping if that is part of your organization! Hey SOROR! I too am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.! Western Illinois University Sp. 98. We also do a party walk normally the DJ will play Im Every Woman by Whitney Houston. LOL! There are a couple of sorors on the forum!

Once again I have to say it your photos are awesome! I love the TTD shots. I think it was really cool how you guys incorporated your daughter into the photos! (I think shes your daughter she looks like you guys! LOL!) Anyway you just gave me an idea that I hadnt even considered before.

We normally serenade the bride with our national song and if the soror is from our chapter we will also sing our chapter song. This is done at the reception and it is a very moving and emotional experience.

Congratulations! Beautiful pics!

I would say as an encouragement to you at least your man wants to work there are men out there that have no desire to obtain or maintain a job. Good luck at your counseling session tonight. It is a difficult task to get men to communicate with us. Maybe your therapist can give you some suggestions on how to work on that and on how to boost his ego. Im lacking in that area myself.
