SO WE MADE IT ON WWW.THEBRIDESCAFE.COM

..... Ok albeit indirectly, however The Brides Cafe is one of those sites like Style Me Pretty, Brides or more recently The Fab Bride, where fabulous weddings are featured.  I am particularly excited for this wedding feature because it is not very often (outside of celebrity weddings) that you see beautiful, stylish, black/African weddings featured on major websites.  Here is the link to the post on The Brides Cafe : Real Maryland Wedding:Cellina and Toks.


This was our Urban Chic Wedding that we posted earlier on this month and 
obviously we were not the only ones who fell in love with Cellina and Toks wedding style. Thanks to Janie and her team @ The Brides Cafe,  for continuing to feature beautiful weddings and excellent vendors.  Through her website a lot of vendors have gained recognition and credibility for the outstanding work that they do.  Her passion is evident and we are so glad to be a part of it.


It saddens me though, as I mentioned before, very few ethnic weddings are featured on major wedding media outlets. I believe our culture is so rich and beautiful and would like to see more wedding media outlets publicize our weddings as they do for other ethnic communities like the Asian, South Asian, and Jewish communities and not just a feature every once in a while. (Hmmmm....this is a blog topic for another day)


Anyhow I want to thank all my friends who worked on this amazing wedding; The Talented Zenab of ZFaces, Detail Oriented Eileen of Distinct Occassions and the Fabulous Dotun of Dotuns Photo Lounge and of course his lovely assistants; Jummy and Dami, for making this wedding one for the books.  


To my readers, followers, fans thanks again for all your love.  
Please continue to visit the blog as we still have a lot in store.  The Best is yet to come.


Happy Blogging Folks,
All my Love,
AJ

Rola and Yemi's AH!Mazing Spring Wedding PT1

Last year, I had the pleasure of meeting a very interesting couple; Rola and Yemi. When we met up, Yemi, the groom, did most of the talking. In this business you know that is quite unusual, most grooms just want to know what the bill is and typically I am introduced to just their signature on the checks. LOL. Anyhow Yemi who is a "DC Rat" (he just loves DC) told me the vision for the wedding and when he told me their venue - Andrew Mellon Auditorium, I was completely thrilled. We were going to be coordinating as they had chosen certain vendors before our meeting, however I was still excited to work with them.

As I got to know them better, I realized why Yemi did most of the talking. He is an outgoing, fun loving and completely determined guy who loves him some Rola!!! He wanted everything perfect for his beautiful bride. Whatever Rola wanted, she most absolutely per Yemi had to have, including the Bentley Phantom. Nothing was too whimsical, out of the ordinary and oh yes that "E" word, expensive for his bride. Which is why he wanted her to sit back, relax and enjoy the most wonderful day of their lives.

This wedding was truly beautiful and I am glad to say we were part of it.

Here are a few images from their Glorious day. I'll post more pics by the weekend.

For now, ENJOY!!!!
