African American Weddings

I am back!!

Hey ladies!! I am back after a great weekend with bae and my parents! So Friday we made it to N.O. took my parents to eat at Parkway Po-Boys and they loved it. It stormed while we were there but afterwards we went to the hotel to get dressed for the concerts. We got dressed, (my outfit was rolled up boyfriend jeans, white tank, red blazer and some leopard print wedges) and made it to the Superdome for the concerts. On Friday we saw The Pointer Sisters, Keyshia Cole, Trey Songz, D'Angelo and MY FAVE CHARLIE WILSON!!! D'Angelo um...I want him to get back on drugs....he sucks sober lol...Trey had all these little girls screaming and Uncle Charlie YES LAWD he shut the house down...I love him as an artist and entertainer!!
We didn't get out of the dome until almost 2 am.....We went to eat at one of me and bae's favorite spots..The Trolley Stop. My parents enjoyed their food. We got back to the hotel around 4 am.

Saturday we got up and went to the convention center to walk around and see some celebs. We saw Tyrese, Charlie Wilson, Marvin Winans, Tamar and Vince...and a few others. We left from there and went to eat at another lil spot called Liuazza's. My mom and dad were dancing the food was soooo good! We went back to the hotel and knocked out! We got up and went downstairs to have free drinks and then went back to the room to get dressed. Saturday I wore some khaki bermuda shorts, with a fitted t, and some strappy black heels. Saturday we saw Ledisi, KEVIN HART, and MARY J. BLIGE!!! Kevin Hart is a fool!! Mary, my girl, SHUT THE DOME DOWN!! We did nothing after the concert but go back to the room and hit the sack. 

Sunday we woke up got dressed and took my parents to our favorite brunch spot...Lil Dizzy's Cafe at the Whitney. We love that place!! French Toast, seafood omelette's, fried chicken, gumbo, mac n cheese, grits, fresh fruit, salad.....and much much more lol....Then we went back to the convention center saw and introduced my parents to Bae's mom!! Our mother's really got along...SCORE!! We watched Avant perform, saw POOCH HALL, saw Roland Martin,  and Chef Garvin. I found some stuff at this vendor called Afrodiasiac.com
They have cute stuff!! Then of course we headed back to the room to get ready for the concert. Sunday's outfit was Bae's choice....Seersucker Polo shorts, White Poplin polo shirt, brown Steve Madden wedges...My parents didnt want to see Kirk Franklin so we made it there in time to see Anthony Hamilton...then Aretha came on stage...ten minutes into her performance bae and I left! We went to the superlounge to see my boy...RAHEEM DEVAUGHN!! Well while in the super lounge we saw Bae's ex-wife...she's a bitter soul. Her best friend came up to bae to speak and was like she in there tripping. She got pissed when she saw you with your girlfriend and stated "Michael would never resemble my outfits." Bae had on tan seersucker pants while I had on the blue shorts...WHATEVER HEFFA....She kept staring and Bae was like it ain't no need in her hating..she's the one that really ruined the marriage and ya'll I heard that from the PASTOR myself....anyhoo...we left the lounge when it was over and went back to see some extra performances and Chaka Kahn closed it out! After we left the concert we went back to the room to change clothes and go on Bourbon street. My mom wasn't feeling well so my dad, bae and I went on Bourbon. My dad had his first hand grenade. We had fun out there. We got back to the room and bae was DRUNK...he is not a big drinker and that grenade got his butt..he fell out the bed in front of my dad.....LMBO!!

Monday we got up and went to Cafe du Monde and walked the French Market.......now I am home TIRED AS HELL!! Nighty Night Sistahs!!
