First I want to Thank everyone for supporting me and for your friendship during this time. It was greatly appreciated.
Now for what you want to hear. IT WAS THE MOST AWESOME DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!! The devil tried very hard to interrupt but what GOD has for me, no one can take away! We had a lot of issues pop up in the last 2 weeks b4. My photographer was the worst. Never use Photovideo Network ladies. After Fh broke his leg and was out of work for several months, we tried to downgrade our pkg, they wld nt allow it. they wanted us to pay for the existing pkg b4 they wld even discuss it and they wld nt reschedule. Hello, Mcfly, are u kidding me. So i cancelled instead even though i lost the deposit I had piece of mind, dj's mother in law died in South Carolina and the funeral was the day of the wedding. This was tuesday b4 wedding that he called to advs of this and he had no backup suggestions. Rev was a no show 4 rehearsal dinner which was thurs. and we had not heard from him. Tux place only got 2 right out of 12 and this was the day b4 the wedding. So no Rev,no photographer,no dj,no tuxs,no money. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. Tux place got it together, co-worker's husband is a photographer,best man found and paid for a better dj then the 1 we had since he was also an emcee, and Rev while 20 min late, showed up just b4 his replacement did. Though I was not happy about the wedding starting late, I then proceeded to have the most beautiful wedding ever!!! All present company excluded, of course:).bear with me because yes this was a musical production:)but my Loving Husband is a Dj.

Bride got the surprise of her life when she walked in to not Will Downing singing Crazy Love as planned, but to FH singing it into the mic!! Not a dry eye in the place! Most didn't even know he cld sing. I stopped to shed tears, even though I deny it to everyone else, it's on video tape. My 15 year old gave me away and kissed me. He and Fh shook hands and embraced like men when we got to the end of the aisle. Rev said wonderful things and we jumped the broom etc while music played softly in the background. Amazing Love by Luther, Wedding Song by Nat King & Natalie Cole, and I can't stop loving you by Kem. We exited to John Legends Cloud Nine. We took Pics and re-entered to R.Kelly's Happy People. 1st dance to Downing and Rachelle Ferrell Nothing has ever felt like this and Ray Goodman & Brown Special Lady. Honey used to dedicate that 1 to me when we were kids on WNJR for all u old heads! Shared dance to Downings Soul Stepping and Luthers Shine. Since his mom and my dad is deceased, we did our 1st dances with our kids. B4 we got together i had 1 son and 2 daughters so I danced w/my son who now inherited 3 brothers. We danced to a song we always sing to each other My Boo by Alicia Keys and Usher. I know a little weird but it has special meaning to him and I. Honey had 2 boys an 1 girl so she inherited 2 sisters. They danced to Avant's My 1st love.
Can I tell you ladies the food was excellent!! Folks are still talking, The room was gorgeous, liquor was strong, dj great, everyone looked absolutly perfect. My sister knocked my mother to the ground for the bouquet, 2 funny, the guys ended up in a pile on the floor over the garter. Weather was excellent not to hot for pics The girls and I stayed at the hotel the night b4 and Honey and I stayed the night after. Several of his Navy friends came with their wives and everyone got rooms so there was an after party. My pics will definitly follow and u guys will see. LOVED IT!!! OOhh we had to postpone honeymoon until cast comes off My Husband's leg, Girl that takes some getting used to, My Husband. The upside is, 1 of his friends and his wife did not go on their honeymoon either so she and I are planning a 4 way trip!
Also Congratulations to all the other 07-07-07 brides.

Taj, I am sitting here with goosebumps and justa grinning over here! It sounds like your day was EVERYTHING that you dreamed of it to be, despite the devil trying to get busy! I am soooo happy for you! I cannot WAIT to see the pics!
Taj that is so funny because I was going to call that company to do my videography for my wedding. I guess I will have to find someone else.

house, you changed your mind about Lamar?
Sounds absolutely beautiful. I would have completely lost it if hubby surprised me like that. Can't wait to see your pics.
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
I'm so happy everything came together for you. It sounds like it was a truely funfilled event! I can't get over your boo singing to you as you came down the isle! That was such a nice touch. Girl I probably would have been bawling and I know there wasn't a dry eye in the house!
Thank you so much for sharing your wedding day and all that happend in it with us. You've given me so much hope and insight :) Congratulations and I'm going to keep you and yours in my prayers.

I was just using Lamar for flowers, but I guess I will be using them for videography as well.

house, they're really good. You should really check them out. I'm using them for the photography/videography & limo. If you think about using them, try to book them early so you can get cheaper rates.
Taj,
Congratualtions on your marriage. I know you had the time of your life!!! Glad to see you came out on top despite the Devil's tactics. Many blessings to you and your husband as you begin your new life together as "1".
"To Flow As One Is Love's Reward"
Congratulations!!! Even "he" tried to steal your day, "He" saw fit to see you through gracefully. He is good!!!!
That sounds like you had an amazing time!!! I'm so happy for you reading this, girl you got me over here tearing up, especially with the kids(cough, cough...I'm ok)
God truely blessed your day and obviously had a hand in why things turned out the way they did for your wedding day. Everything fell right into place.
I love the music choices...and thank you for reminding me about the joys of R.Kelly (who will be in heavy rotation 9/16) CONGRATULATIONS! I am so very happy for you and your family.
As a guest of Tajmom's wedding,it was undetectable that she was having so many problems. She was beautiful and handled it all with grace. I had a wonderful time. I just hope that in a month I can look just as cool and comfortable is she did.
Happiness is only a prayer away!
Congratulations, I am too excited just reading it. I can feel your excitement and joy. Girl your wedding was destined to turn out great.

onyx, did you take any pics? If so, please post. And where have you been? When's your date again?
That's nice. I am glad someone from the sisterhood could make it. Askalot do Lamar's wedding studio provide online viewing? I wanted to use a photographer that had a website where I, along with my family and friends could view pics, and whoever wanted to order them could do so on that site.

Girl, that's the only thing that they don't have!!!! I was so upset, but I love the quality of their work. However, they did say that their hoping to get it in the very near future. I hope they get it by September! lol

Tajmom, I enjoyed all of the details! You were so vivid it was almost like having a real-life conversation! If my day turns out to be half as beautiful as yours sounds, I will be blessed! CONGRATS! Can't wait to see all the pics!
