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'"

I always add a "and pleeze don't let them be too ghetto" to mine!! LOL I was at home sick for the past 2 days and in between naps I saw a black couple. His proposal was really cute. He was a artist and he painted a picture of himself proposing to her and arranged to have it hung in a museum. While casually strolling through the museum she saw it and said "Hey, that looks like me...and that looks like you...why are you knealing?!?!?" only to look at him knealing with her ring. It was so beautiful!! My husband pays BIG TIME for his non romantic proposal every time I see a show like that.

WOW! That proposal sounds like the bomb!

I have absolutely no idea when it will air. I will ask her when I see her before the wedding.

I'm going to have to watch it one day so I can see what it is all about.

I had another friend who's birth was filmed at some other pre-birth "stuff". I didn't get to see that one neither.

I'll keep you posted.

When does it air again?

DELTABRAT · #18 04-23-2001, 03:26 PM

Well, it won't be airing for a while but IT'S FINALLY OVER!!!!

I know that sounds rude and all but my friend's wedding was an ABSOLUTE PRODUCTION!!!

It was really exhausting...for me, at least.

The crew of the show is literally in your face THE ENTIRE DAY AND NIGHT.

They were real cool, but you know how sometimes you just wanna "let it ALL hang out?" Well with a camera crew in your face 24-7, it's hard.

It should be cute. The really don't allow people to be candid. It's mostly scripted. In other words I couldn't just say whatever I wanted. They prettye much request for you to ask certain questions of the bride, etc. For instance right before the wedding, they asked me to ask her how she was feeling and what she expected from the marriage, etc.

Some parts were candid like when we looked at old high school pictures at her mom's house.
However, when they turn the camera on, there's something "not candid" after that point. You know what I mean?

It was all good, though. When we were at her house for the dinner helicopters kept flying over and the cre was like "Wait these helicopters keep flying over." We had to be like "Y'all might as well sit down and have a drink because they won't be done for about 15 minutes." They were astonished. We were laughing because we know about the "ghetto bird" (vintage Compton/Lynwood), but they were like "What's going on?" We were like "Awe, someone probably just got shot/killed/stabbed/beat/robbed, ya know. Don't worry though."

Anyways, she looked beautiful and he is really handsome. The wedding decorations and flowers were gorgeous. I have never seen anything like them. They are now in Jamaica chillin' and having a great time.

I'll let you all know when it is airing.

WenD08 · #25 08-04-2001, 12:20 AM

i thought i'd bring this back up. has there been any info concerning an air date for the AKA/Que couple getting married on a WEDDING STORY?

DELTABRAT · #26 08-05-2001, 11:47 PM

Hey WenD08:

My friend told me that it will be airing some time in October (I was like dang)!

I will most definitely let the Greekchat Family know when it airs. Thanks for thinking about it. The wedding was absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

I saw this episode as well. It has me in tears. And the fact that it happened where I am currently located gives me some hope.

I love The Wedding Story. I love the background stories, interviews, and wedding prep information. Its so very touching. It especially makes me cry when I see some black folk tieing the knot. Tears for days, ya'll.

DELTABRAT · #29 10-09-2001, 02:44 PM

Hey Sorors and Sisterfriends:

The wedding is going to air on October 22 (Monday) at 3:00 p.m. (ET)
Please, if you can, check it out.

AlacrityZK · #30 10-09-2001, 06:45 PM

I know I will be glued to the screen. I just watched and tapped one of the sisters from Mary Mary yesterday on a Wedding Story. You will have to bring this up to thp, a day before the wedding, so I will remember.
