    8. What is your dream job?

    Attorney at law! I am currently studying for the LSAT exam and I’m scheduled to take it  December 1st. I’m still going back and forth about the kind of law I want to practice. From the beginning of time until last year, I wanted to be a Civil Rights and Criminal Defense Attorney…now I just don’t know.

    Whatever I do, I know that social justice will be implemeted in some way or fashion Smile


    9. How did you and your fiance meet?

    He was a work-study Resident Assistant for Campus Safety and he used to work at the desk in my dorm building a lot. I used to see him and say “hi” when my hot pink Motorola blu-tooth was jammed I my ear. One day he invited me to a party at one of his friend’s dorm room and this is where our adventure began.


    Later on he told me that he always saw me on campus (we ever had class together because we have two complete opposite majors) but I always looked so busy with that blu-tooth in my ear and he didn’t want to disturb me. Darn thing almost had me miss out on meeting my man.


    The moment we fell in love?? I like to tell it but he really doesn’t like when I do lol


    So…we were at a party (yes, we partied a lot) and I drank for the first time. What did I drink? Everything! Dark, lite, white, you name it…everything on that darn table. I got real sick and was puking my stomach out (gross I know) and my head stayed in that toilet for a while. He held my hair back and stayed with me on the floor…since then we’ve always held each other up. I love him to pieces.


    SN: I woke up with no pants on the next day, on the couch and he said in the middle of the “early am” I took them off...I still make fun of him about that -_-

    10.  When did you get engaged and how did he do it??

    LOL…umm…well,  was home watching Law & Order in our bed with tears in my eyes because he didn’t ask me yet and then all of a sudden he came in our bedroom, got on his knees and said “I know we’ve been through a lot in our relationship but…will you marry me?” I was so caught up it took me a while to say (at least I think I did lol) and he placed the ring on my finger 

    11. When is the Wedding Day?

    Saturday, June 15, 2013

    12. Where is the ceremony and reception?

    I originally wanted the  ceremony to be at my church but that was before I found out the price ($1200). So now, we will have the ceremony at my grandmother's church. We are planning on having our reception at Akwaaba Mansion (B&B) in Brooklyn.

    13. What are your wedding colors?

    Teal, Orange and (brown? Still thinking of a third)

    14. Where are you honeymooning?

    Our dream honeymoon is Madagascar, Africa but it is sooo expensive. We are thinking of  celebrating our nuptials in Aruba.

    15. Favorite wedding vendor so far?

    My photographer, I went to high school with her and she takes beautiful photos. She’s a teacher by day and photog by night...She took our engagement photos this past Saturday and they are gorgeous! PIP coming soon!

    16. Biggest wedding splurge?

    Our honeymoon and the reception.

    17. What is something you wish you could have at the wedding but don't?

    I wish I could have my grandpa. He passed away last March and I know he would have been so happy to see his oldest grandbaby walk down the aisle. My second wish…David Tutera! He could turn this budget bride’s wedding into her dream wedding :)

    18. Another knottie wedding you'd like to attend?

    EVERYONE! I LOVE food and cake Smilej/k

    19. Favorite book? The Autobiography of Malcolm X and I LOVE romance novels (not the cheesy kind).

    Update: Octavia Butler's books take me to another world!

    20. Favorite movie? Anything wedding, romance or “expecting” themed…I don’t know what’s up with me lately :/  I love the Notebook and The Green Mile.

    21. Favorite tv show? Do you have to ask? I think I’ve mentioned it too much on this board lol LAW & ORDER…(*whispers* my ratchet pleasure is L&HHA and shows like that…shhhh)

    22. Favorite wedding dress designer?

    Lea Ann Belter and Mon Cheri by David Tutera

    23. Any advice you can give? *breathe and enjoy* (I should take my own advice =) I am learning to let go and let God. 

    24. Anything you wish you could change about your wedding? As long as I’m marrying him… I wouldn’t change a thing unless we won our wedding or the lotto and don’t have to pay a dime!

    25. Share something about yourself!  

    I’m a sweetie until crossed. Sometimes (a lot lol) my mouth gets me in trouble because I speak my mind. I don’t sugar coat enough.  This fire within me is what keeps me sane and allows me to pull through whatever comes my way. It drives me to my dreams in life whether career or otherwise. My passion is helping people and advocating for those who are unable to advocate for theirself. I love to cook, bake and I enjoy good books.
