Part II: The Ceremony - Summerbride2010's Ceremony - SUMMERBRIDE2010's Black Wedding by Color Blog

I LOVE EVERY SINGLE picture and the stories :) :) and i just adore your unity cross pics and I squealed when I saw it. Can't wait to do that part and your guests are awesome!! lol!! "thank you God"...starting church at your wedding. perfect! i love it!! lol

Thanks Nidhal!! and THANK YOU MUCH!! with a (((hug))) for posting information about the Unity Cross! Because if it wasn't for you..I would have know anything about it! Everytime I goodled "wedding ceremony" it kept giving me the same stuff that everybody else used...and I was looking for something different ...and thanks to you...I found it! Nobody around here has ever used it before. My Bishop didn't even know about it. When I took him the information about it a few days before the wedding he oooh and ahhhed in his office and was like " you're starting a trend with this one girly!"...they loved it! I can't say thank you enough!

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh love it girl!! Ii bout jumped out my chair when i saw that cross!! 'm doin that same one also, after seeing it on Nidhal, absolutely LOVED it, so cant' wait!! Your pics are amazing... oh i cant' wait for tomorroww! !

((tear)) SO BEAUTIFUL! You are a beautiful bride and your wedding looked amazing! Congratulations Honey <3.

lori2314 -Thanks lady!! Nidhal really came through with that Unity Cross post! LOVE IT, and now it's sitting in our living room looking just delightful!

trulyblessed-awww...thank you so much!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I can't stop squealing! This was like a beautiful book I don't want to put down, with PICTURES!!!!!! Perfect!

I love this Tara! ALL of it! It is sooo beautiful, the Cross is beautiful (LOL @ Southern Church!) and this is just all amazing!

Of course you look fab, the ceremony still looked beautiful, and the red and black dresses are sooo elegant and classy. LOL@the flower girl, but she is dang adorable! I think it makes things better :)

LOVE the kiss picture - it gave me chills. Literally. MRS. WILLIAMS!!!!!!!

L>O>V>E all of it.

Still loving it!!! Your day just looks like it came out of a fairytale or platinum weddings :).

P.S. I am sooooo stealing your exit song :), I am trying to find an up beat song and yours is perfect, I am also going to play boggie wonderland, while the rest of the people head out after us.

Awwww!! Thanks Tasha! Yes ..she did make a even better "refusing" to throw the flowers!! She's so sassy!..LOl She even came up to me at the reception and asked if she could have MY flowers!!..LMBO I was like "Cailee...you still have a basket full hun"..LOL she's a mess...but cute! Everybody still talks about her!

rmmharrison- steal it girl!! It was the perfect so to walk out to, cause that's how we really feel ..."there ain't no stopping us know". Cause our parents calls us the "Pow-wow" couple, and after we got engaged they said' once you two become one, it won't be no stopping ya!" so when I heard this on the radio (a week before the wedding" I almost wrecked i my car!! I was like "THAT"S IT!!!"

OH and Tash....we kissed FOREVER!...LOL the photographer got like 8 photos of us just making out at the alter!..LOL

Damn it, you're making me wanna change my exit song, you just built that up beautifully! LOL It is a perfect perfect message for a married couple... I think I am really debating the change. I like to think that no matter what obstacle - distance or otherwise, come in our way, nothing will stop us. We kinda say that all the time, so it's still appropriate! :)

Gonna talk to the hubsy (oh and no prob on the word lol)

Girl, it just gets better with each post!!!! I love the face of your flower girl, it is priceless, lol. I was so wondering about the Unity Cross and if it would work while our soloist sings "I Found Love" by BeBe Winans, I now know that it will be perfect. Please tell us it stopped raining, I was so praying for you. Amazing!!!!!

Yes Tash! It's definatley a perfect song to walk out on. You should seriously should consider it. Eric and will look at each other and be like "Ain't no stopp'n us now" and give each other the "fist bump" with our ring hands!! his mom LOVES IT!! she says " You two are destined for great things...I can feel it in my gut"..I love her so much :-)

Aww that just made me cry. :) That's so awesome. You are destined for great things. Ok done. That will be my something borrowed :) I didn't end up borrowing Golden from you after all, so this is it.

LOL @ the fist bump. Mark and I already fist bump all the time, cuz we're wannabe cool, I told you this already lol. Although I like our thing - instead of real words, we say what my baby nephew says - when he gives you a fist bump, he says "BOOMPAH" - we dunno why but it's ridiculously adorable! :) So we do it too! LOL But I love your fist bump JUST as much! That's just awesomeness.

iluvbooze - Girrrl!! That was her face througout the whole ceremony too! She was soo cute in her little white dress. And that song "I found love" is a beautiful song to play while you assemble the cross. Our bishop actually explained the meaning of the cross as we assembled , so we didn't have anything playing. But your guest will love it! You should go ahead and order it, cause it was on back order for a couple of months when I orderd ours. And did it stop raining...hmmmm...I'll have that info on Part 3...after the ceremony!..LOL

Tash- I get chills when she says it. Which makes me even more excited about what is left to come for us! "BOOPAH"....TOOO CUTE!!...LOL

LOL@ "wanna be cool"! You and Mark are the cutest! I tell ya! Yall ARE cool and don't even know it!...that's the funny part! I love you guys!.. I swear if we ever come to Canada....I'm looking ya up!

T, you better!! I think we would have a ball! You guys are cool as heck too! LOL

How far are you from Raleigh or Wilmington? That's where Mark's fam is. I know we need to get there soon!

what an awesome ceremony! so happy for you!

Tash- Raleigh 1.5 Hours, Wilmington about 2.5 hours. So whenever you guys come...let me know, we'll even meet ya half way! I'm sure we will have loads of fun! Hubby already know who you guys are..it's like we're old friends!..LOL

Thanks Sexylilbride!

Sweet. Will def tell you. :) And Mark knows too, he actually now calls me Tasha Fierce ha ha!

Aaaaahhhhh!!! LOVE IT!

Everything looks beautiful!!! I like it all... From the bridesmaid gowns to the draping to the guestbook. Congrats!!! I am glad everything went lovely.

Just Beautiful!!! Loved every moment of it!!

After reading the inscription with the cross, I absolutely love it and have to have it. I just won't do it at the time of my song, lol!!!!

about submitting your pictures on a wedding website or magazine.You know Chocolate bride's would looovvve to have
your pictures.Go for it!!!

I love how u depicted your wedding day like that of a story. It was nice reading all of the elements that occurred. Very beautiful ceremony and u looked amazing! I cant wait to read what's next! I'm definitely staying tuned!

You have me so enthralled in your story! Haha, glad you were able to avoid collision with your man! I recently realized the same thing, that I'd been putting so much thought into the reception & skimping on the ceremony....the ceremony is the whole point of the day! It all looked beautiful. Lovely pics :)

browncurls - Thanks girl! and I must let the men know that you said they look "GQ". Eric has been asking "have the ladies said anything about us men?!"...LOL He SOOOO has to be noticed!..LOL

fairytalebride - Thanks for the well wishes! and you are going to absolutely love your unity cross:-)

kmiller1- Thanks! We were trying to keep it classy and not bring out too much of our "hood side"...LOL

kkrbride-awww..thanks girl! YOu know how us "brides" always see something we could have done a little different!..LOL O, well...it all still turned out beautiful!..Thanks again!

monikas- My Girl!! waaaassuuuup!..LOL My mom keep saying the same thing "Put your pics in a magazine"..I may submit. And I had never thought of Chocolate brides. Thanks for the info girl! and I will be submitting part 3 real soon! :-)

sonlove2010 -Thank you sooo much lady! I'm trying to share as much as I can with you ladies, cause yall really helped me so much througout the planning! This is my way of having you "at" my wedding! Thanks again!

Thank you so much Alwayshis! You know we get so rapped up in finding unique things, and going all out for the reception...we sometimes forget about "hyping" up the ceremony! It's only a couple of things I would have done to make it look a little better. But all in all...I'm ok with it! I still got my man ...regardless of how it looked right?!!...LOL thanks again lady!

I admit it, I came back to look at these today too. You should really put em up for a mag, I think this wedding should def be showcased - so amazing!

And HA HA HA HA! Eric is hilarious! I actually meant to add that about the guys too - tell Eric more than one of us thinks that pic is straight dapper, as Mark would say "CLEEEEEEEAN" and def GQ! I love that pic of him and all his boys! He's got game too, but it's just that he's got one heck of an accessory/trophy/prize/DIAMOND/superstar/QUEEN on his arm in you, so oops - he sometimes has to be #2!! But tell him he's got lovefrom WBC too - he looked super dapper and so did all the boys! :)

Awww....and Haaaaa!! at the same time. Thanks Tash! I may submit for a mag...who knows!.. And Eric is a mess girl!..he tries to play like he's not "into" the blog...but he SO IS!! always wanting to know what the ladies are saying, and if they are saying something about him! I was like "nobody has said anything about the guys pic yet babe"...he was all " We must look like wankstas!!"...I laughed so hard...like dude..did you really just use that word... "wanksta'....really???...LOL I said they have their own men to look at babe....

but I will let him know that you ladies said he was "CLEEEAAN" and dapper!

Oh...and he always says that I "out shine" him Tash!..LOL He say he's gotten used to being #2! I said " Your my #1 babe!!!"

OMG LMAO @ Wanksta!!!!! I think Eric rocks!!

I was gonna say that too. As long as he's #1 to you, all that matters. He is def dapper, but as a bride girl, no man had a chance to outshine you! :) You were GORGEOUS! And he knows this MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! LOL

Very Beautiful! Amazing Dress... Everything looks amazing! Hope everything went perfect for you. You deserved it! Well done and congrats!

You look simply gorgeous!! Every aspect of your wedding was stunning, loved every single picture! You dress suits you so very well, the mens' suits everything looked amazing!! Can't wait for part 3 :)
