WEDDING STORY
 

No I am not getting married http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

Anyways, I am going to be in a wedding on April 21 for one of my oldest and dearest friends (oldest in terms of the length of our friendship). I wanted to let you all know that out of 400+ applicants for the Wedding Story show (or whatever it is, as you can see I don't watch) her wedding was selected to be taped for the show. Her fiance(e) did everything from applying to whatever else is involved.

So, all that to say, I will be on TV (yipeeeee). So I will let everyone know when it will air so you can see the one and only (yeah, right). I am really low maintenance (as far as make-up and the like)but now it seems I may have to get fly for my TV debut. I will try to represent for the Crimson and Cream which I will most likely mention because she is an AKA and EVERY SINGLE ONE of her other bridesmaids is, as well (except for her family members). She went to USC, I went to UCLA. She is marrying an Omega Man while I am dating an Alpha.
Hmmmmm... oughta be vewy intewesting...

Has anyone seen the show? What's up with it?

I've seen A WEDDING STORY, and it's a great show-a real tearjerker for all us sensitive ones out there (lol). It comes on The Learning Channel (TLC)-check your listings for the times.

They give a brief history of the couple (how they met, when they got engaged, etc.); they show the bride and groom parties preparing for the wedding (rehersals, pre-ceremony parties)and the wedding is shown (reception included).

Because of my work and school schedules, I can't watch it http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif, but I do have others tape it for me when they can.

great! i watch that show from time to time and i love to see Black weddings on there. i saw an SGRho wedding and a DST wedding on there before so now we get to represent http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif also, thanks for posting this info here. i'm sure my sorors and sisterfriends will be watching once the word gets out.

YOU GO GIRL!!! AS A "WEDDING STORY" VET (I TRIED TO GET THEM TO TAPE MY WEDDING)I'LL BE GLUED TO THE TUBE SO I CAN SEE YOU. I KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE FLY. PLEASE KEEP A SF POSTED. FYI..THERE WAS A PREVIOUS EPISODE WHERE A DELTA GOT MARRIED AND HER SORORS WHERE IN HER WEDDING. THE SHOW HOWEVER, ONLY MENTIONED IT BRIEFLY. I'LL BE LOOKING FOR YOU.

I am a Hopeless Romantic, so I LOVE me some "A Wedding Story." I love to hear the stories of how couples finally got together and how the dude proposed--the show ALWAYS makes me cry! Whenever I decide to play hookey from work (I mean whenever I am sick--yeah that's it--whenever I'm sick) I always watch it along with all the other "A ______ Story" shows. Keep us posted so that I can be sure to watch. Represent, Soror!

my roommate watches it a lot because she is engaged. i've only seen about 2 black couples so it will be refreshing to see some more. and, congrats to your friend.

as a side note: do any of you watch a makeover story on tlc? now THAT is my show. i am real into hair makeup (i do my own hair and i don't wear a whole lot of makeup but i got into it while in "beauty school").

I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind

It's odd because I have NEVER seen any of the shows. It's a good thing for her because the proposal was real nice and traditional.

They apparently are taping part of the rehearsal and the dinner. That will be a trip because we aren't going to some fancy shmancy restaurant and all... mom's (the fam is from Lousiana) is throwin' down on some gumbo...at the house, too. It will be kept real, oh beliedat.

I'll keep all posted.

Just so you know, I will be the sistah with the ABSOLUTELY BALD HEAD. The hair that is there is ASH BLONDE,too. I won't be easy to miss.

I *love* the show! I'd love to watch your friend's wedding story. Do you know when it's going to air?

I've seen all kinds of pre-wedding dinners-from bar-b-ques to the formal restaurant setting and everything in between.
I like this show because it really captures the event (wedding) in a complete way-the rehersals, the dinner, hair appointments (LOL), etc.
It shows that there is more to make a wedding happen than just saying "I do", and I've gotten quite a few ideas for my future wedding (but first I need to find a future husband http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif ).
Good luck with the taping! Can't wait to see you on TV!

Have a safe and blessed weekend

OHMIGOD!!!!!!!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/cool.gif

I always watch "A Wedding Story" and during the intro I always say "pleeze let it be a Black couple!" and then I try to guess if they are black or not by their names. Any way I get so happy when they show the bridal/bachelor party and the greeks are representin'...I tells my boyfriend "look baby they strollin'"

Any way girl, I want you to represent cause I'll be watchin'! And It just brightens up my day to see some black folks celebrating such a joyous occasion. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
