Tanya and Eddie

We just wanted to wish our absolutely beautiful, intelligent, charming little cousin a very happy birthday! We love you so much and wish you many more birthdays to come!!!

I told Eddie I would blog about Dr. Cornel West before he had a chance to finish the book….sorry babe.  Last year Eddie and I had the opportunity to hear Dr. West speak at Bethany Baptist Church in Newark, NJ. He was sharing snippets of his life that are now recorded in his Memoir. He [...]

I am soooooo excited to share this post because it really celebrates the essence of our wedding day. We had the most AWESOME videographer, Tony Sutera of Precious Moments Video. He was recommend by friends of ours that got married a few years ago.  He was awesome to work with and truly captured our day. [...]

A palette of colors, rather than the traditional two colors that play off each other. The picture above incorporates those colors. It’s the setting of a beautiful day which means [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
