Hi, Everyone

     Sorry I haven't been on since I signed up, I have been busy with life and family. But I am now back and I enjoy reading all of you guys posting. You all have brought such inspiration to our wedding. So here goes, We have booked and paid for our hall. I've foung a wonderful photographer company Its call Evian's in Chicago, They take georgeous photos,video, and picture story. We recieved a wonderful deal and also we get to be involve in how our photo book is going to be laid out. Since my FH is in Iraq, I am doing a lot of planning with him via email,and phone its a little hard but its coming along well. Bestman had to step in and begin to assume his duties plus Fh duties as well. We visit serveral stores looking for Tuxes and this is what we came up with

This will be for our groomsmen, and this is for FH...

We figured out the flowwers which looks like this

and theses will be the bridesmaid flowers

and the other flowerswe chose invitations and programs as well

programs

All of the bridesmaids have choosen and paid for their dresses and they are coming in as we speak. I have to wait before I could order my flower girl dress because they recall all od their dresses to test them for lead...So I'm hoping that they will be ready by May so I could go ahead and get it out the way also. So as you can see we have much done yet still much undone with that said let the planning continues. Anyone know where I could find a gold knife serving set, I'm looking to have it and gold and I can not find it anywhere.Thanks and I will be blogging with more updates soon...

I keep changing my mind from champagne to ivory, and now I am so confuss that the only color i have for noe is truffle. what color do you all think I should use with the truffle. Please help!

Thanks,

I figure I will start by blogging about how we got to this day. When I met my FH I thought Oh! great here's someone thats going to be my friend and nothing serious is going to come of this. In my mind I was thinking how do you meeting someone over the internet, across worlds and create love. To my surprize Ronald had something else in mind because he was determine to make us work despite the distance, he taught me that strong communication was the first line of offense when it comes to making something work. And, I must admit he was right we communicated so well that I remeber thinking to myself a month later how could I be falling in love with someone I haven't met yet. I felt like a teenager in love for the first time, I remeber one time when we wrote each other an email. We must have sent them off at the sametime because his read, "you keep me feeling as if I am young and in love for the very first time, I am always excited by the thoughts that I have of you, and just knowing what your day is like brings me joy" and what i wrote to him was "how is it possible to feel something so strong that i don't care to know anything else, I felt like a child feel when you tell them that they're in a  "puppy love" faze. But unlike this it wasn't just puppy love, It was real and we were falling in Love. When we finally met almost a year later, I was nervous, and I had fears, but when our eyes met all of it faded and I felt safe, I felt secure, and I felt his love for me. We enjoyed each other some much that we wanted time to stand still. So from that day forward we communicated strongly, Boldly and with God first because we wanted us to work and only with the Lord leading in guiding us. The day that Ronald asked me to marry him was special to me because there was no special dinner, no crowd or even an ring, it was the presences of the Lord and it was him and me, and when i heard him said my whole name my heart stop and time stood still, he followed it with the standard proposal, follow by a poem and a song by Luther Vandross " If This World Were Mines", It was beautiful and sweet. I cryed and we prayed together and I celebrated the next day at church with the Lord and my best friend Charita. And now here I am planning our big event.

Thanks for reading and I enjoy reading your stories as well, they are truly wonderful.

God has Blessed each and everyone of you!

Thanks,
