natural Bride: tamika


Tamika at her August 2008 wedding renewal ceremony in Jamaica

“The wedding ceremony was good but funny. Our best man misplaced our vows, the pastor fumbled a lot, since he was thrown off by the missing vows….I was really late blah, blah. Regardless we were surrounded our family and friends in the beautiful island of our birth by an historic waterfalls on a perfect summer day.

I played around with a lot of hair options. I thought I wanted a dramatic curly up do. I colored my hair a week before and decided with my friends’ advice to go classic, and chic. Since my wedding was held in rural Jamaica (I was not familiar with any stylist there) and I did not want to give up going to the beach in the days before… I went simple and had one of my bridesmaids do my hair.

We were married in August 2005 originally in Boston. Back then I had relaxed hair. Our renewal was in August 2008… I cut my locks off a few weeks ago and am sporting a low ‘fro…… but I have these beautiful pictures to hold on to!”

    So pretty. My sister forgot her reading and I forgot my vows too. My husband made copies of everything so when we got to the altar he was just dishing them out of his pocket. He also provided tissue for myself and all the crying ladies. It was hilarious just wondering where exactly in his suit could he fit all this stuff!

    I love weddings, would love to see more wedding hair!!

    Hi ladies! Tamika's photos were gorgeous! I hope I look that good on my wedding day. I'm getting married in T-minus 2.5 months. My projected wedding style is a tight curly rod set (that will end up looking like comb coils) to outsmart Tampa, FL humidity. I'd love to check back with you and send you my photos. I lurk here looking for natural bride ideas. :)

    Not coming along – I have short very kinky hair that is about 4-6 inches when twisted. I'm desperate for suggestions – please send them my way if anyone has any. I want to use an orchid on the right side by my ear because the future hubby likes the flower look but other than that, I am lost. PLEASE HELP -my wedding is 8/8/09. Thank you.
