Our Wedding
Love is in the Air...
...as was
and



We decided to wear special fragrances on our special day. Thank God we did - we were able to get some alone time during the crazy week before to go out and find our signature scents. Not only that, but now we get to wear them on special occasions (or date weekly nights, in our case) to relive that day.

This was probably one of the simplest, yet best ideas that we followed through with!

What's your signature scent?

RECAP
My Ensemble and Meet the Maids!
As promised, here's my ensemble for the best day of my life:














And we can't forget these:









I wish there were words to describe how comfortable these are! Okay, so there are....can you believe I managed to stay in them until we left the reception?!?!?!? Yep! And I danced. And danced. And danced some more! Believe it or not, I actually lead the stroll line with my awesome Sorority Sisters (pictures to come)! In the Loubs!





And, the day would not have been complete without these gorgeous ladies:





It's all about the shoes!






Did I mention that we also had some GORGEOUS hostesses?





Since I wasn't able to show pics of some of my maids before, here are a few of them in all their beauty:









Lakina AKA the Most "Bout IT" Bridesmaid EVA!








Leah the Diva (also pretty darn BOUT IT):





Sidenote: Do you know how many people asked me if she was/is a model??? And I had the privilege of having her grace our wedding photos!!! How lucky are we?!?!?!

ChaFonda





This is my first cousin who was always like a sister...




Shannon the GigglePot




This is actually Mr. CB's cousin. She instantly embraced me like we had grown up together...

Chanelle, Queen of the Side-Eye





And last, but certainly not least - my MOH, Shonetta AKA Christian's Mommy





And just for fun, here are some randoms:





Negotiating use of the Crackberry







SUCCESS!

Since these posts are feeling a little girl heavy, I'll share some of my fave shots of my handsome groom (and his guys). Let's face it - there would be no wedding day without him!

I'll double back and post the bride's ensemble and all the maids in one posting.

Enjoy!

This is one of my absolute faves (can you tell I have ALOT of faves)!



His Best Man, Chevis





Aren't they all handsome??? And let's not even talk about swag?!?!!?



LOVING this shot:

One thing I can say about Mango Pixels Photography, Joyce has an uncanny knack of paying special attention to detail! Here are a few of my favorite shots:









Wine for our Unity Wine Ceremony

Our corsages and bouts were delivered from the florist like this:








When I saw "groom" attached to Mr. CB's bout - it all became real for me!

This was a very special gift from my brother's wife or *GULP* sister-in-law. This hanky was given to her on her wedding day.















The hanky (something old) and sapphire earring (something blue) were given to her by my Mom. She added the shiny 2009 penny for my something new. My Mother has since gone on to be with God, but how SWEET was my sister (in-law) to pass on such a treasured heirloom?!?!?! I know she's technically my sister-in-law, but it's really hard to call her that. She's more of a sister-from-another-mother.








And here she is (making sure everything is everything):








(Now you see why I can't call her my SIL?)









And here I am all made-up with no where to go (and still finishing one last DIY)...
















Ciao Bella,

Pink RECAP Our Wedding
  
RECAP
Our Wedding
We were married on October 24, 2009 in the beautiful Lundy Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in beautiful Macon, Georgia. The forecast predicted an icky, rainy day; but as you can see from this photo, it was anything but:








The girls and I met at the church hours before to have makeup done and just enjoy hanging out with one another once again. Most of my bridesmaids had met each other at one point or another, as they have all been really important in my life - not to mention that most of us were all sorority sisters.

Shonetta








Lakina








Leah












There were three other beautiful bridesmaids, but somehow I didn't manage to get pictures of them. You'll meet them a little later :)

Ciao Bella,
Johnetta

So. Thanks to my good friend over at Becoming His Mrs., I've decided to recap our wedding. I admit that I fell off of the blogging train near the end, but I hope to make up for it. The up side is that I get to do it with PROFESSIONAL PICTURES (BTW, these are a few of my fave)! YAY!

So, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

Also, don't forget to check out my wedding for sale post below :)

Vendor Reviews
Hola! I know I have been MIA, but I have really been enjoying being his Mrs.! I did, however, want to be sure that I shared our experiences and vendor reviews.

You can see them here.

NOTE: This is not a complete list as I have not reviewed our photographer nor videographer. Instead of the rating system, I based my reviews on whether or not I would rehire a particular vendor.

Adios!

PS: I hope this helps a fellow bride :)
