African American Weddings

Sooo...

With all of the circumstances going on in my life, I woke up in a GREAT mood. No, not because it is Friday (I have more to do on weekends than during the week) but because I am blessed. There are so many other women out there that cannot afford a meal, let alone a wedding. There are a lot of other women that have lost the man they love to tragic events. Al may be sick, but he is still here.  There are so many other women that have nobody to turn to when life gets rough, I have a great support system. I realized complaining and being sad is not going to make life any easier. Someone else will always have it worse than me even on my worse days. Ladies: have a wonderful day and don't forget to do a good deed.

    Great!  I'm glad you woke up feeling good this morning.  Thank you for this message.  You are completely right, everybody goes through trials and there will always be someone who has it worse.  A perfect example, a friend of mine got married two years ago.  She and her husband waited a month to go on their honeymoon.  They were waiting to go with his parents who were celebrating their wedding anniversary with a trip to the beach in Florida.  They had made their honeymoon a family affair.  When one of the family members got caught in the current, my friend's husband and his stepfather went out to help the drowning family member.  Sadly, both my friend's husband and father in law drowned.  That was the worse thing ever!  It haunts me because I went to their wedding and I also went to his funeral.  My friend was devastated and is coping as best she can.  I saw her Tuesday at the gym, and it would have been her and her husband's two year anniversary that day.  She looked good but I could tell it was a difficult day for her.  And dispite all that happened to her, she mentioned she really would like to attend my wedding.  [Teardrop]  So everyday that I have FI in my life is a blessing.  And if for some reason we should not be together anymore, I will try to find comfort in the fact that I had him.  I hope you ladies can feel the same.Sorry so long, but ak1226 you really spoke to me this morning.  I am still sending prayers up for you and all my knottie buddies.  I hope you all have a wonderful day!
