Hey 12K readers!
DetroitGyrl here! I am honored to fill in as a guest blogger here on 12k Wedding (for the next year and a half – or so). I’m newly engaged. the future hubby “dropped down” New Year’s eve while we were on vacation in New York. So romantic! Now we’re dedicated to bringing our friends and family members the best PAR-TAY they’ve ever witnessed. We call it: “The kick-off party for our Marriage.” We have chosen not to use the W word because so many people get hung up in that one day. Instead we think of it as a great time to show our dedication for each other and party with our friends and fam right at the beginning of the second (and most major) part of our journey together. We envision lots of dancing, laughing, eating, spirits… and did i mention dancing?
Here’s a little background… We’ve known each other our entire lives.. our parents know each other and two of them work together. We’ve dated on and off since the nineties and decided to get serious at the end of 2007. Now we’re planning a Summer 2011 PAR-TAY (wedding) in Detroit for 200+ people. Our budget? 10-15K – we’ll just say 12k for now.
So – join me as I highlight some of the GREAT and HORRIBLE things about wedding planning. I’m only doing this once – so it ought to be good!

This is great! I am recently engaged as well and had gotten myself all caught up with Mrs12K blog posts and then she went and got married on me!
I am glad that she’s recruited another black bride blogger to keep the blog going. I look forward to your posts!
