African American Weddings

Can I join you ladies?

Hello, I hope its ok to join here, while I am not officially engaged/wedding planning yet, I am just browsing the site waiting around for my (2nd) ring/proposal. I am not in any sort of rush, as my SO Jason and I are just getting back to normal a few months ago.

My brief story:
We were engaged a couple of months after our relationship became official, needless to say it was too soon. 1 month into wedding planning, I became pregnant with our 1st child together (I had 2 from a previous long term relationship/high-school sweetheart), during the pregnancy and for months after our relationship went way south. The engagement was broken off (by me) and he remained persistent and hopeful that things would get back to normal. Thank god, that day has come, we have been working on our relationship and we have so much more to build on now than we did nearly 2 years ago, we are taking it slow but both know that engagement is soon in the future. He has mentioned places that he would like for us to look at for the ceremony and reception....he also talks about how he can't wait for us to get married and such. I just listen with anticipation.

I hope its ok to get to know you ladies and follow along with you all's planning and photos and such. I hope to be joining in the planning phase soon, but for now, I will just live through you ladies. 

*I am also at the not yet engaged board, but I am not quite sure I belong there since we were engaged once before and we are starting to do more and more wedding talk. I don't obsess over it everyday, but when you know its coming, one can't help but to be a little excited. ;)

  • Welcome!! Join right in! Tis board is great for ideas, inspiration, support and venting!! I haven't been on long but all of the ladies here have pulled me right on in with them! You will get addicted to this board because sooo much goes on annnnndd its no DRAMA...everyone here is going through the same thing or has already been where we are!

    I hope that things continue to grow between you and your Jason. Of course take your time because like many have said here before marriage is a BIG STEP...

    Good luck!!

  • WELCOME!!

    You are more than welcome to join. The ladies here offer the best advise Wedding or non Wedding related. I think it is a great idea to browse around before diving into wedding planning. It is no joke and as you can see many of us have learned lessons the hard way.

    When you are ready to start planning I suggest to discuss with FI the budget FIRST! Then decide how many guests you would like before picking a venue and everything else.

    Happy Planning!
