i am SO EXCITED:D thanks to everyone that voted. it's going to happen for Soror LaDonna and Darnell on June 25th.
in the meantime, i think folks get to vote on other aspects of the wedding so keep watching;)

HOORAY!!! :D

I was late for class this morning because I was sitting in here with my fingers crossed! LOL! I was so happy when they were announced as the winners! :D I can't wait to help them plan the wedding!

Yay!! :)

Clap, Clap, Clap!

Now the fun begins!

Yup, I voted and Al Roker was on tom Joyner I think the day that the voting was to be over, and Tom was pushing for everyone to vote for them and then when word came that they won Sybil informed him that they invited him to the wedding:)

Yay.....I can't wait to vote on the wedding details. They're so cute!

today is the day to vote for The Dress:D please vote by 2pm EST today only. go tohttp://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/23713175. i voted for
#4 which was designed by Amsale. i am biased since she designed mine for my wedding last year;) this'll look cute on Soror LaDonna:)

I actually liked dress #3 the best and #4 was a very close second. They are both so light and airy, perfect for a garden wedding (which I think they said they were having). The east meets west dress was not cute for a wedding, maybe for the reception.

TTT

Tomorrow's the big day!!!! :D

i almost forgot to remind folks:eek: i'll be watching:D

I saw them today on the show. They were so cute playing the "price is right" game. LOL. They were naming prices like they pre-planned and priced all of their wedding gifts! They knew it all! LOL.

The wedding was beautiful!!! :D I was almost in tears when they said their vows.

Beautiful and Classy
 

I watched the wedding today. It was beautiful, classy, and I cried when they exchanged vows.:)

It was one of the best weddings I've been to in a while! :D Though NOTHING that I voted on won, it was still beautiful. Everything was perfect. I was crying from the moment her grandfather started walking her down the aisle. LOL! I'm about to watch my recording of the reception and announcement of the honeymoon destination.

The vows were very sweet. I wish them the best of luck together.

Damn, I wished I had remembered that it was going on today especially since I worked from home this morning.

You can watch it on line. Just use the link at the beginning of the thread.

i agree w/Redefined Diva. i almost welled up when she came out w/her grandfather. it was such a beautiful site:)
LaDonna and Darnell looked wonderful and i hope they enjoy Bora Bora, which was my choice;)

LOVED IT!
 

The ceremony was so beautiful! I cried, too, especially when her grandfather walked her down the aisle, seeing her mother cry, and when they exchanged vows. I wasn't able to vote on anything since I was out of town and didn't have 'Net access (:mad:), but I liked most of the choices. Everyone looked very nice, and the setting was stunning, topped off with their jumping the broom! :D

I wished they would've shown more of the reception; I'll have to check out the online video. Nice touch with having her cousin (2007 AI finalist) Melinda Doolittle being the surprise performer! I hope they enjoy their honeymoon in Bora Bora (glad they won their secret choice) :)

uh...i meant sight. i can't type worth a darn...:mad:

Ok I went and watched the entire everything and that was so beautiful.....everything was just so nice. I am so happy for them and yes seeing her pop pop as we called our grandpop walk her down the aisle was so touching.....I'm glad that I voted for them and that they won.:D

Some pictures of the wedding are in the new US Weekly (the one with Madonna on the cover).
