My husband and I were married on the 4th of July, 2012 at The Crane Residential Resort in Barbados. I had no idea what I was going to do with my hair. I love wearing my curls, but for formal events, there's always that pressure to straighten it or throw in a weave. Our ceremony was just the two of us (no guests, no bridesmaids, no one), so I didn't have any helping hands to get ready for our big day. I knew I needed a style that would be easy enough for me to do on my own. I decided to 2 strand twist my hair 3 days prior. For maintenance, I sprayed with water and a little oil (jojoba and sunflower seed) when it looked dry. With my hair in twists, I was able to go swimming in the ocean, get caught in warm sun showers and just enjoy my vacation before the wedding. If I had straightened my hair or gotten a weave, I would have been chained to a beach chair and worried about getting my hair wet! On the day of the wedding, I untwisted, fluffed and added the birdcage veil that I had made. It came out perfect, with very little effort. It was very breezy so my hair was blowing everywhere, but I think it held up pretty well and added some drama to our pictures. The veil decided it didn't want to cooperate with the breeze, so I ditched it and pinned in a simple white flower from the arch that we were married under. By the way, thank you so much for curlynikki.com. You are truly an inspiration!
