I think I have found the right song.

hey readers I have been kind of searching for a song that i will walk down the aisle to. I wanted it to be something special and beautiful. A song that I can let my kids listen to for generations to come. I also wanted it to be from a Nigerian artist cus I'm Nigerian and I thought it would be interesting way to add my culture into the ceremony. Here are the contenders:

Seal Love's Divine:

Carlos Santana ft. Seal You Are My Kind

Elewe ukwu by TJ

So its kind of hard but I think Seal has the lead....we will see.

ok i'm back...sorry its been a minute

Hey brides and brides to be, I'm back and ready for action! OK, let's talk savings! First I found a couple of sites that are just amazing:

1. Scent design aka www.scentdesign.net its a super cool website where for only $10 you can make your own custom bridal smell. Roses , musks and fruits are just a click away! Give them to your bridesmaids as favors.

2. Addicted to Rubber Stamps aka www.addictedtorubberstamps.com/ Instead of paying some one to address your envelops or put a monogram of you and your beau's name why dont you just buy a stamp and get the job done your self. A.R.S. will make a stamp for any design you can think of.

3.Papermart aka www.papermart.com oh how i love thee papermart! ladies check this out, lets say you need a 100 pretty takeout boxes for you guest favors this site has you covered with an awesome selection at great prices!

This is just wrong, folks!

It makes me sick when people try to push their bigoted and racist views on normal regular people who are just trying to live their lives...its just wrong. A couple who are madly in love went into the Justice of the Peace and couldn't get married...because they were a biracial couple! The "concerned" judge thought their children would face ridicule.

That's some bull! I think that if two adults want to get married , or date or do whatever they should be allowed, period! Sometimes I wish that some folks just learned to mind their own business...like my Grannie says "If you cant say anything nice, then just don't say anything" Check this out:

Targe' for bridesmaids?

Mossimo Black Plus Crossover V Neck Empire Dress in Red. $33.99
I decided to go with a few bridesmaids cus a party isn't a party without your girlfriends. They are by your side in your hour of need and make you laugh. Unless, you are having a super intimate ultra romantic just us two elope style event...having your friends there can turn ur party into a blast! however, its just not fair to be a budget bride and make other people dish out major dough.

So i was doing my online surf and i noticed Target as a low budget way to get cute bridesmaid dresses? First, there are tons of simple styles in an assortment of colors so your ladies in waiting can wear their dresses to other events after your wedding. Second Target has pretty good sizing options for curvy gals.Last but not least, with prices under $50 its a steal that will keep ur gals smiling. SCORE!

This dress is from the Merona Collection and its too cute! $29.99 on sale right now.

lovin this: Animoto

I found something pretty cool for brides who don't have enough money to get a video and picture package. I am seriously considering this for my own wedding. Put your pictures on Animoto.com and tada, you have super nice video to view! Or if you do have clips like if a family member taped the ceremony you can add it too!

Create dvds of your wedding for next to nothing so even though you couldn't have a professional video person u can still remember that special day for years to come!

Updates: Trying not to stress out

sorry its been a while but life happens but i'm back so here is whats going on right now:

  • Really getting out of the wedding obsession phase. I have realized that if the cake isn't the perfect shade of pink its ok.
  • Trying to find out what I really need versus want. Need= a hotel room cus we don't live at the location. want= a lavish 6 star penthouse suite.
  • Trying to stay in budget.

.99 cent wedding?

wow, I heard of a budget but this is too cute/ interesting /beautiful! Nine couples got married yesterday (9-9-9) at the 99 Cent Only store! It was part of a promotional wedding sweepstakes where the couples get a 5 min ceremony and then go on a honeymoon on the 99 cent store's dime. I think thats super cool! I kind of warms my heart to see that people are still doing nice things for other people. Viva la 99 Cents Only Store and congrats to the nine couples! check out this clip:
