Yesterday was my godsister's wedding.
kissing a church member
after the ceremony
Aside from one of her 'maids passing out, the event was short and sweet. I will admit that my favorite part was the end when I got to see everybody from the old neighborhood. it was like a family reunion minus the drunks; filled with so much warmth and love. Oh my gosh, i was sooooooooooooooooo happy to see my childhood friends, "aunties" and "uncles". Everyone has spread about the country and it was great seeing "family" who flew in from Kansas City, Atlanta, Charlotte; the students who drove from all over Florida...Tally, Tampa, Miami; and the folks who are right here in town. The engineers, MBAs, teachers, nurses, accountants, law and pharmacy students, professors, flight attendants, politicians, coaches. Of course some were missing like Rashard who played for UM and is at Jax balling with the Jags, and Kali who's in med school at Morehouse. I saw neighbors who i could help but to ask, "Who are you? Are you?!?!?!!? Oh my gosh I haven't seen you in soooooooooooo long!!! OMG Mommy!!! Did you see?!? Oh, you did? True. OMG!!!!"
Ashley, my bro and I at the cocktail reception. don't you wish you were in S. Florida? Even though it was a 'winter' wedding, clearly, sleeveless was the order of the day. It was HOT!!
I was waving my little hands off at people across the way and then we had to leave the sanctuary so Monica could take pics. Before that though, we had to have a Spencer Lakes (my neigborhood) picture.
mom dukes in the African outfit of course. i can't wait to see what she wears for my wedding
it does take a village to raise a child. i love my village.
