Here are a few wedding pictures


My wedding bouquet which is now hanging on my wall.

Okay, I was having a melt down and my cousin was like girl this is not the time! You are getting married today...lol



Me in my coat train dress which unsnaps and becomes a beaded short cocktail dress. Guess what it was rented from a boutique for $450 and retail $3500

Ha...He put a ring on it...lol

My SuperMAN

The key to a long marriage with or without problems is:.....DRUMROLL Please!!!

• Open, honest and positive communication (See you cannot just have communication without being honest no matter who gets hurt, open because some people shut down after they communicate, positive meaning having a solution or compromise to make it work). We are still working on this but we are soooooo much better! lol
• Respect (See respect goes both ways and you are both important and worth it)
• Love (See you will fall in and out of love like two high school kids...trust me we did and it gets stronger each time)
• KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS!!! (See there will be haters jealous of what you have and they can be family or friends. You can share information but limit the information you share unless it is to help someone better their relationship. We had them and we prayed them off!)Well I did ...lol

Our waiter all I can say .....hummmmm sexy, polite and from another country. lol
