Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)	Mawning Fam, OK, I have to vent! Ken just calls me and says some random fellow he works with saw our wedding picture and loved my outfit and now wants to know if I can take his fiancee shopping for a wedding dress b/c David's Bridal is too expensive han dem pon ah budget! Then my Husband puts the man on the phone. He tells me his fiancee is a size 18 and is having trouble finding anything 'reasonable'! I tell him about a wholesale Dressy dresses outlet about 20 minutes from where he and Ken work...Homeboy then says ..."Yuh knoa wat...I haffi wuk pon Saturday...but I will tell har fi tek deh bus han come here afta she finish wuk at noon han yuh cyaan meet har here han tek har tuh deh place." WTBumbarasclaatFhockery is dis! Like I don't have a dyam ting fuh duh den cart dis yah ooman around looking fuh wedding dresses!!!!

I told him..."Don't be sorry, just know seh...I am NOT doing it...wat yuh decide fi tell yuh friend is pon yuh!" OK, AM I WRONG? I don't know this man or his fiancee from a blinking whole in the wall! Not to mention, what exactly am I suppose to do with the boys! They hated going shopping for their wedding suits not to mention some random woman they dont know!! Because of course Mr. Young is working on Sunday! GURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRH!!!!!!

Well, that will ease my mind a bit. JG -- Thanks. "Yes, this is a new procedure. The results are placed in a sealed envelope and given to the applicant to be taken in at the time of the interview." Good Deal Lawny ...so you can go from there! But at least you won't walk in blind and have them tell you some foolishness like...denied b/c you brought your own medical results!

It fit my head like a crown and had lavender sequins with a veil!! It turned out to be the sellers mothers wedding hat and she was selling it for $5.00!! I had a coupon for free shipping and got myself my pillbox hat!!! Everyone at the wedding was like where did you get that adorable hat? I told them Saks Fifth Ave!!!! Gurl, yuh duh what yuh haffi do!

We thought about doing dinner another day; but touring the city to keep Andre entertained has exhausted us. Next trip, I will definately be hooking up with her again. She's just so wonderful. You all need to meet her. I have a picture to post when I get back. And, I made sure to take a picture of her eyelashes.....thankfully, they have all grown back. Tre....after we saw you, we walked all over the dang place. We saw the Air & Space, National Geographic, and Natural History Museums this time. We went to Chinatown. And of course had to take a picture of the White House & Washington Monument again. I was nearly dead by the time we got back to the hotel yesterday. Wonder what Andre has planned for tonight. I'm out again. See you all in a few days. Glad that you and Lawny got to link up! Did you get a chance to see the Rastafari exhibit in the Natural history Museum? That was hot!

We didn't let that spoil our day! I was in tears I said recited my vows...because my heart and soul finally felt at ease and knew..."THIS TIME WAS FOREVER!!" Ken looked so...dyam GOOD!!!! So did our boys!!! Tghe reception was wonderful one of our friends justed opened a new restaurant that hasn't 'officially' been opened as of yet. SO he let us use it! We had a magnificent chef that's Jamaican by birth, but was culinarily trained in France and London! He is part owner, of the Restaurant...the food was OFF THE HOOK!!!!! It was very small only 35 of our family and friends...we had no DJ, no mic...but it was so geniune! The speeches moved me to tears...everyone saying how happy they were for us and how proud they were of me for taking a chance on love again! It was great.

I don't feel nervous or anxious about my wedding this time...it feels 'just right'! I am truly blessed to have such good friends that would take the time to wish us the best! Again you humble us! Ken's good...we picked up the rings last night and he tried it on and kept complaining that it felt funny and it was tight! I just looked at him and he said well 'it 's just something me a guh haffi get used to!" I was like yeah DYAM RIGHT!!!! I am surprised how well things are coming along...consdering the procrastinator in me waited until LAST WEEK to find a oufit and a place for the reception...etc! The theme (I don't even think weddings have themes...but ours does...) is 'Forever Young'. I found a quote in the Bible that read...'A heart that loves is Forever Young'...and I'm running with it! The colors are grey/silver, lavender and white. I am driving EVERYONE crazy looking for lavender ish! My youngest son, Gavin brought a home a lavender BASEBALL yesterday and was like we can use it in the wedding??? Everyone is excited...I am just bless-ed ...My boys love Ken, he loves them...my father adores Ken..thinks he's the best thing since sliced hardo bread! Ken keeps practicing the speech he is going to make on behalf of himself and his new wife...over and over and OVER again!!! ...He hates public speaking!...But he'll be fine! SO again, that I have a good man, family, and friends like you make me truly fortunate. I will post pics by Monday...Promise! I LOVE YOU ALL!!

I mean look at WV and KY!! That to me was VERY scary!! But, Hil brings so much to the table...latinos and women...it's hard not to really consider her. I personally like John Edwards...but then again...I don't know if he would even want VP again? Richardson would be good, but then again you have 2 frists!!! It's gonna be interesting seeing how it plays out! Bless-ed, Gill	Forever Young	Female	Jamaica	2008-06-05 15:47:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)	QUOTE (jason&Marla @ Jun 5 2008, 02:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Goodevening Ladies, My thoughts on Obama. He may be the next President of the United States and he may not. I am undecided as to who I am going to vote for. I'm not saying anyone on here is voting for him because he is black, but I get that impression from alot of people and it could just be the media. But I hope our society looks past the color of skin and look at the person and their issues. Me and Marla are doing great and they are having a great time. We have had some issues (small arguements) but we look back at them at day's end and laugh about it. Part of the adjusting period I guess. I am going to apply for an EAD soon so she will able to work. Also, today Marla is looking for a hair dresser and I don't anything about it, so wish her luck. Saturday my brother is going to keep Amoy and we are going to have our 1st date in America. Don't know where were going yet but it is her birthday so I gotta take her somewhere nice. And we get the whole night to ourselves! Hello Jason, Glad to here all is well with you and Marla. I word of advice about the Hairdresser thing...wherever she goes makes sure that she has time to sit in the shop for awhile and check out how the hair dressers curl, cut and wash other clients hair before just jumping into a chair. I definitely need to clarify something to you. First of all I am NOT voting for Obama because he is Black! I was a straight Hillary Chick up until the end of January!! I mean I voted for her twice to be my senator...I had nothing against her...I actually was voting for whichever democrat had the best chance to get into the White House come November! I didn't even take Obama seriously until I heard the speech he gave after his win in South Carolina and started doing some research. I, for one am DOG tired of the Status Quo and I thought what he was saying about 'Change' and 'Bridging' divides made and makes a great deal of sense. IMO, the USA needs a clean slate...we are the most hated nation in the world, because of GWB and he's failed policies...not to mention we are in an recession...on the verge of a depression. We need a united America to get us out the mess we are currently in, plus the help of many international nations. I think Obama has the best chance to unite Republicans and Democrats and have the USA be seen again as a diplomatic nation...not just a Waring one! Whether you want to admit it or not...Tuesday Night was HISTORIC!! Forty years ago we couldn't even sit next to a white person on a bus and in many states we would risk the chance of death if we excerised our right to vote...to now have an African American be the Nominee of a Major party in a mere forty years is astouding and speaks volumes about how far this country has come (although we still have further to go)! So nope, I'm not voting for any candidate based upon race...but I'm not going to lie and say I am not pleased as hell that a Black Man that came from NOTHING (a single Mom, lower-middle class family, busted his hump to get into Harvard) has a chance to be President for the first time in our history! What it says to the millions of little African-American boys out there is ...'Yes, you can!!!' So, I hear you about what the media is making it 'seem' like...but for African-American and Blcak people around the world what Obama did on Tuesday night is a HUGE accomplishment! I had 5 relatives from JA. call me on Tuseday night, just so damn excited about what happened and 3 people from the UK... saying the same thing...we never thought we would live to see this day!

Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)	QUOTE (Awakening_1 @ May 27 2008, 01:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm worried that's how our ceremony will be. Mom is not really saying anything bad she just gets real quiet whenever I mention plans. I think she is still hoping and praying that I'm just going through something. NOT I was listening to a talk radio show and they were discussing Male and Female roles in a successful romantic relationship. A Jamaican woman came on and said that the reason our relationships don’t last is because woman try to be equal to the man in the relationship. She said that woman could be respected but never considered equal to a man. She gave examples of what she meant by saying we “women” should never pass gas around a man, never let him know when you have a monthly, or never let him know when you go to “doodie” etc. She said all Jamaican women are taught this and that why their relationships last. What are your thoughts? Wakey Hey Wakey, I disagree with that woman. When I was 18 my Mom died of Breast Cancer. In her final years the way my father took care of his wife too this day leaves me with tears. It was nothing for him to bath her...help her use the toilet... shave her legs, underarms and other places he knew she like to keep trim. Honestly, do things that even I as a daughter don't know if I would have felt comfortable doing. It was during that time although I had only rarely seen my parents kiss in public...that I understood the depth of love he had for this woman. To me...that was LOVE. When I met Ken for good or bad...we agreed to keep 'it' real! Now, I know that saying is very cliche right now...but I honestly have been nothing but honest with Ken from the very beginning of our relationship. He respects it and says how refreshing it is to have a woman speak her mind and be 'human'. However, I am honest but not hurtful...I'll find a nice way to say or do what I have to say...but you can best believe I'm going to say or do it. I also look at Ken as my equal...I'm no better than him, as he is no better than me! It's not about rying to one-up your partner anyway...it's about finding a level that you can both hold a respected balance and work through this thing called marriage. Hell, this month I asked Ken to go to the store and pick up some 'Always' fuh me. He started laughing and said "Bwoy Gill yuh different from alota ooman I know!" I asked him if he felt a way picking them up and he said "Ah nuh nuttin dat! Yuh feel henny way when yuh haffi pick hup deh condoms?" Not to mention when I had to curl my hair and he was 'dooding' - He couldn't stop laughing and saying " I've never had hennywan inna deh toilet when mi a sh..." I just looked at him and laughed and say welcome to our life!" He gave me a pound(BEFORE he wiped ) and he did his thing and I curled my hair. It depends upon the man and the relationship...different things work for different people. But for us ...Honesty and openess has been the best policy! Wakey, you and your Boo will find your own happy medium... of that I have no doubt! Bless-ed, Gill	Forever Young	Female	Jamaica	2008-05-27 15:19:00
