Wowzers. Sometimes I come upon stuff kinda late, but I simply MUST give kudos, high praise and big ups to Fri Forjindam, founder and editorial director for Wedding Nouveau magazine. I mean, this mag does multiracial and multicultural weddings like I have NEVER seen in print, so classy and romantic, with tons of ideas on how to merge race, culture and religion into a delicious soup in the melting pot. And I’m not just saying that because she featured our blog in the Winter issue.

Besides it being a top-shelf publication created by an African American woman, there’s just so much more reason to support this. And the photos. I mean, Wow.

I mean, could that get any gorgeous-er?

Well, perhaps.

Here’s a sneak preview about this couple, because I just know you’re biting your manicure for the deets:

I know you want more, so get your copy and support this mag, which is WAY better that BRIDE, MODERN BRIDE, POST-MODERN BRIDE, or whatever.

Order here.

These photos are infused with such romanticism and quiet desire. My god, looking at these puts me in such a dreamy state, it's a bit scary.

Love the photos but what the heck is up with the 5 o'clock shadow? Man don't own a razor? You want to grow a beard grow it out, but he looks scruffy for his wedding shots. JMHO...

PS - Love the shot where she's wearing his jacket with the sun setting behind them. Very chivalrous. Guys just don't do enough of that anymore - AND WE SHOULD!

Karla 2841 pts

Mark_H My husband is very chivalrous. It was hard-wired into him by a mom who lived in an all-male household.

Karla "when you do find that special somebody, you gotta hold that man, hold that woman! Love him, please him, squeeze her, please her! Signify your feelings with every gentle caress, because it's so important to have that special somebody to hold, to kiss, to miss, to squeeze, and please!" Elwood Blues....

Also, is there an off topic or after dark thread where we can shoot the breeze? Just wanted to talk about my wonderful week getting to know my beau a bit better. I mentioned in some earlier posts that Law Wanxi's infamous Sunny, of Sunny and Dave, is my inspiration for this year and so far, so good!

I thought these were models in a stock photo!

Colour me surprised to read that they're an actual couple!

Like LovingMyself down below (ummm...that didn't come out right...u know what I mean) I was entranced by their story and am frustrated by the cliff hanger. What happened?! I need to know MOAR!!!

Soul_Incites 242 pts

What a great find! Recently, as I was making a love vision board, I was looking through a mainstream bridal magazine (I think it's called Bride) for images of IR or Black couples. Out of 400 pages, I found....two.

TWO.

A black couple, and the groom's parents. WAAAAAAYYY in the back of the magazine. I am SO glad to now know about Wedding Nouveau!

The guy looks a bit like Jon Hamm in those suspenders.

Karla 2841 pts

Wow. This makes me want to have the big-a** wedding that I didn't have. I may have to rethink our 20th anniversary bash...

Go for it. Hubby and I did the big formal thing ten years ago. We are doing it casual this time around. I finally found an outfit. I'm going Afrocentric.

BlackWomenDeserveBetter 665 pts

Brenda55Karla That sounds like a WONDERFUL idea for your 20th...A big bruhaha is in order! I sometimes wonder what type of anniversary party hubby and I would have to celebrate a milestone....

nyaw 68 pts

Yes I heard of their story already. Yes you are sorter late...that okay..hehe

LovingMyself 193 pts

GRRR.... I was ALL UP in their story with a massive grin on my face. Then - I was left with a cliffhanger and my face dropped in 0.2 seconds. Off to check out the website.

LovingMyself 193 pts

OT: From this site I"m discovering I'm a closet romantic. Omg! What a revelation! I never used to be like this. Now I'm just like "Awww..." I don't even know what make of it now.

Brenda55 4388 pts moderator

OK trolls. Do Not. Look . At the linked images. Your head will explode. On second thought.........

The dress is to die for! The look they give each other....let's just say that I need to click off of this picture before my mac melts.

If I wasn't married now I'd be the old guy in the club. That guy who who's not old, but way too old to be in the club hittin' on chicks, waiting for an Al Green tune to come on instead of a dance mix.

Caviar50 12 pts

I HAVE to say this!! You know what I like most about their picture? She is a (beautiful) Chocolate sister! Her dark skin just shines! And the look on both their faces just says it all.

Nice find, Christelyn.

Olivia 68 pts

Caviar50 Yup. She's dark. Like me.

It's funny (not ha-ha funny, but WEIRD) how most white guys just don't seem to give a flying f*** about a sista's skin shade.

The ones that are interested in dating a sister are unfazed about what shade you are.

BTW, great photos, I love these shots.

Olivia 68 pts

Caviar50 And when I say weird, I mean weird compared to the importance of a sister's skin tone when it come to the black community...

RichardBackman 104 pts

Olivia So glad you clarified! I thought I was discerning but I was all set to develop a complex....LoL!
