African American Weddings

RE-RE Introducing myself!

LOL So I do pop up occasionally, usually lurking though... I just cant quit yall!Anywhoo, for the newbies I am Krystal, aka Romeys_Bride, I am the one who's thread is above, welcoming everyone to the board.... I am the moderator on paper, though you ladies really run the show, I am more of the muscle... lol I also do the Siggys each month (or when Cat cusses me out, whichever is sooner....) Just wanting to say Hi again and ask where everyone is in their planning? Give me a 30 sec rundown if you will. I was married on July 3rd, been too lazy to make a "just married" bio, and have not sent my thank you cards! I feel this wedding/marriage has placed me in 5 different categories:Engaged- excited to the max, cheesy, kept a manicure to show off my awesome ring, secretly wanted people to hate on me!!!Planner- Overwhelmed, faced with obstacles, finding my inner creativity and organization. I was a girl on a mission to wed!Bridezilla- Queen B*tch, Broke as hell.... Went to EVERY bridal show in a 30 mile radius, extreme knottie, had vendors on speed dial.... Bridesmaids placed a hit out on me I believe towrds the last few months... luckily I scared the hitman off as well....Bride- Sick of the damn wedding, sick of hubby to be, sick of family, sick of place cards, sick of tastings, Sick of my chosen colors, sick of everything......Wife- back to the real world, well rested, Loved.

    Hey Krystal. My name is Crystal too lol.  I'd say I'm a Engaged and Anxious! lol I have my moments where I am completely content and blissful...then other's where I have anxiety about it. I had no idea that not feeling happy about the wedding 24/7 isn't normal though.   I mean the knot has like 3 paragraphs on cold feet and this a huge life change and step to take! Shucks. ::kicks random rock::

    @NaturalPearls... yes, some days it was really like that, I was more excited for the honeymoon that the actual wedding, it came and it went though... I was amazed how everything I thought of in my head turned out so beautiful

    My favorite was when u were tired of the tastings,etc. The 'Bride' category. If you didn't have my stomach huring with all that foolishness...girl! Just a complete mess! Keep coming back and give these girls a taste of Romey Rome. It's not fair to keep all your personality contained!

    Thanks girl! You should have heard our discussion about "why they can't find a job" I simply told them to pull their pants up from around their ankles! LOL I don't know how they walk! and if you are going to wear weave make sure it  is all one color! LOL  Hell I told them that I hold on to my purse just a little bit tighter when they walk by just like the WP.

    Hello ladies! My name is Debbie and I am engaged & frazzled. this is my 2nd marriage and the babe's 1st. We wanted to focus on our vows, no hoopla, so originally thought JOP. We changed and said, we will have a intimate ceremony/dinner for 50. This is changing daily, as I can't curb my "platinum" desires..Anyway, I am planning a small wedding/reception for 60-75. We are getting married on a Thursday even, then flying to montego bay fri morn....I am jus in the securing a venue phase, and stressing about everything!!

    Hi Krystal. I'm a Krystle too. It's alot of us on this board huh. Well I'm in the planning phase and I just can't get enough. I know that eventually I will hate all things wedding related, but it just hadn't hit me yet. I've found my photog now I'm looking for a caterer. I hope I don't get tired of tastings cause I love to eat too. LOL.
