Question from a Bride and Groom:  Is it OK to have a barbecue after a formal wedding in a church?

Response:  I would not have a barbecue inside the church building unless you are paying rent to the church and the barbecue has been approved by the church hierarchy, BUT it is OK to have the barbecue at someone's home or a park or a rental property.

Here's the perfect menu:  BBQ Chicken, Baked or Sweet Potato, Broccoli Salad, Tossed Green Salad, Peach Cobbler, Apple Pie, Smores and Wedding Cupcakes.

 When you, the couple, go to visit a ceremony location or venue, take notes or ask if it is OK to use your cell phone as a memory record.  Also, ask for brochures or photos from previous events at this location.  Being an educated consumer is a good idea, but this is no time to create a problem or or an awkward situation.  Always keep your demeanor in check.  Behave rationally and professionally, not suspiciously.  Try to avoid being a Bridezilla or Groomzilla.  And just remember, whatever behavior that you show at this venue inquiry, good or bad, will be remembered by that's venue personnel if you book your event at that location.

 If you are an Afro-American Bride, one of the most rewarding ways to personalize or customize your wedding is by delving into your rich ancestral past.  There's a whole crop of traditions to discover and harvest that can be used in decor, the wedding ceremony script, the wedding party attire and the reception dinner menu.  Enjoy!  Have fun!
