Found a great site for African-American Brides named ViBride. It has honeymoon destinations to Africa and the most darling jumping brooms I've ever seen. Maybe we can have the owner stop by and guest blog for us one day on planning a wedding.

Blackberry Soul Celebrations
This year I was invited to four baby showers and a handful of weddings. After a while, you start seeing the same thing at each if the guest of honor is an African-American woman. Smith's Blackberry Soul Celebrations is a great gift to your galpals, who will get engaged this holiday season or for yourself if you find yourself having to plan the event.
Are you throwing any bridal showers in 2006?

Bride & Groom Christmas Ornament
Okay, I know we have two more months until Christmas, but I saw the cutest ornament at the Lenox store near my grandmother's house. It is an African American Bride & Groom ornament. I have two newlywed couples that would love these ornaments. I'll add it to my christmas favorite things list. Do you think it's cute?

Welcome to Blog Brides 9
I started this blog three years ago when I wrote a column called Marriage & Money. Now I continue help couples stay under budget for their weddings, as well as teach them basic personal finance tips, so that their marriage can have a great fiscal start. But this blog is designed for all things bridal. Not just finance. So stick around. If you know of any bridal expos coming to town, or any new products, let me know. If you are a bridal blogger and would love to contribute to this site, let me know. Also brides, scroll down to the bottom to peruse our bridal shop.
Thanks,
Dee
