My Behind the Scenes Team (Part III)

Had to save the best for last. None of this would be possible without the prayers of my Grandmother and my Aunt Priscilla. They have dedicated special time not only to pray but to fast for the planning process, the day of the wedding and most importantly our marriage. They are the two people who [...]


My Behind the Scenes Team (Part II)

Yes, I have a wedding planner and I am proud of it! We got engaged in December, I started my new job in January and we planned the wedding for August. That gave me 8 months to acclimate to a new position and plan a wedding at the same time. Sure I was fully capable [...]


My Behind the scenes team (Part 1)

You’ve read all about my fabulous bridesmaids, but there are a couple other individuals that have played a key role in helping me keep my sanity throughout this process. I have to shout out  my cousins Pam and Paula who have been extremely supportive from start to finish. They both call to check on me [...]


My qeeeeeeeeen to beeeeeeee!

Oh, and to our bridesmaids and groomsmen: GET READY!

High heels and high tops: Combining two lives in one closet

When I asked Tanya to marry me, I committed to a huge task: combining our closets. Tanya has begun making space for me for when I move in after the wedding. And I’ve been bring clothes down every now and then. But with the wedding less than a month away, I decided to really start [...]


Breakfast with my new dad

This morning, I had a nice breakfast with my soon to be father-in-law. We had a good time just talking and enjoying some good food. It means a lot that we can sit down and just enjoy each other’s company.
I always envisioned getting along with my in-laws. And so I was happy to build a [...]


Thumbs up on those invitations

Of all the details so far, I think we’ve gotten the biggest reaction to the invitations. I have to give much credit to Tanya. Her creativity was the driving force that resulted in our finished product. And we were definitely pleased with the invitations.
But we didn’t expect the strong reaction that we got.
Here are two [...]
