If you could have...

An unlimited budget for your wedding ( Say money grew on trees)

What would you add or change to your current wedding?

My Answer: I would get married on the beach but have flooring so people would not have to walk in the sand and it would be at sunset. Then have a night reception with a dj and band and lots of seafood! But before that I would fly to Atlanta and buy a  dress from Lori from Say Yes to the Dress... I like her!

My list would be endless.. but alas, I do have a budget!

DREAMS!!!!

    I would expand my guest list to include everyone we really wanted to be there, then fly everyone to a private island resort for a lavish weekend affair!

    I would still do a destination wedding, but I would rent a fabulous villa for everyone and pay for traveling cost of VIP's in our lives. I would have a planner to take care all of the details, so I don't have to.  I would have welcome bags custom made for each guest with their personal wants or needs.  

    For the wedding, it would be the same but with African drummers escorting us down the aisle.  I would fly in Queen Afua and her husband to perform the ceremony for us.  We would also fly in our good friends to do metta meditations for the ceremony as well.  

    After the week in Jamaica, we would go on a cruise on Royal Caribbeans Allure of the Seas in one of the loft suites.  

    Yeah, I was waiting for this question.

    I would have an unlimited guest list since that is my biggest issue right now, I would have my wedding on an island with all the food and flowers money could buy, and I would tell my father and mother to not worry about a thing!!

    Honestly I would still keep my guest list to 250 because I want to personally hung and chat with each guest. I think if we had 1000 people it would lose the intimate aspect. 

    I would fly all my guests (on a private plan) to an exclusive island so that they also could enjoy a vacation on us. I would have Maxwell and Sade sing my favorite songs. Also, have the guy from Hell's Kitchen cater. I think he is mean so I'll enjoy putting him to work for my guests, hehehe!

    And finally, my dress would be 100K

    • HIRE STEVIE WONDER TO SING FOR OUR FIRST DANCE!!!  I love Stevie Wonder and have since I was a child. 
    • I would extend my guest list from 150 to about 250. 
    • Get a photobooth instead of DIYing one.
    • Take my new husband on the best Golf honeymoon ever!!!!  He would get to play during the day and I would get to play at night!!!Wink
    • Oh and NOT WORK so I would have time to plan my wedding with all the little details to personalize it just for my boo and me.

    I'm definitely hiring David Tutera and going all out with my dream wedding at Secrets Resorts (Maroma Beach) like I originally planned :/ lol but I will fly out ALL my guests (still keeping it at 150) and have Jeremih sing (we went to highschool together so it wouldn't be awkward for him to be there mingling w/ everyone... but he would still charge me an arm and leg to sing at my wedding! lol)

    I would definitely upgrade FI's ring and have a GANG of photojournalists on deck!!! My entire bridal party in suites at the resort and make sure they treat my grandmother like a QUEEN :-)

    I would have a three day weekend event at a luxurious location.  The first day would be for only close family and friends and would involve the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and entertainment.  Day two involve morning activities for my guests and tehn in the evening it would be all about the wedding in the style of David Tutura.  The food and music would be impeccable.  On the third and final day it would be all about my family and would involve breakfast and prayer.   In the afternoon, my and my DH would send everyone off with some outlandish gift and then it would be all about us and the HM is some grown and sexy location.  :)



    Love is the ultimate superpower.   
    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.

    I would have Dru Hill sing "I do (Millions)" and have Beyonce sing "1+1" for my first dance. I would have a buffet style dinner with seafood, steak. And a dessert table with my favorite dessert.
