Natural Hair Bride- EJ

Hello CurlyNikki and family,

I was recently married to my wonderful hubby on Sunday September 4, 2011 and what a wonderful day it was. I had no idea what was going to be done with my hair because I didn’t do any trial and error sessions like suggested. However, I knew that I was going to wear it in its natural state without using any heat that day. The person who was supposed to do my hair burned her hand (frying fish ) 6 days before the wedding, but thanks to my Maid of Honor’s hair stylist Kimeche, I was started and done in about 20 minutes! Fast and she did a great job!

I had a cute updo– the back was braided upward toward the crown of my head and pinned back. I used some pearls from my former boss as my something borrowed and placed them in my hair. She used them in her wedding… She placed her grandmothers pearls individually on bobby pins and placed them in her hair which was the same thing I did…

After getting my hair done and heading over to the venue to get dressed, I was given my gifts to open from the soon to be hubby, a very cute diamond bracelet, the pink face Movado watch I secretly had my eyes on and a brand new pair of red bottoms. My hubby is the bomb.com

Now that I was dressed and ready to go, we hit the door and it was showtime… The weather was more than beautiful and we had a wonderful turnout of family and friends. We jumped the broom and really had a fabulous day. I couldn’t be more grateful and blessed.

Thanks for sharing in our day
