Okay, I have a confession. I get excited for Wednesdays, not only because that is the day that Travelzoo comes out, but also because that is when Essence online, puts up the new Just Engaged and Bridal Bliss columns for the week. I love to see Black love, there is just something so great about seeing a Black man marry a Black woman. It just hope into my heart. Now before anyone screams out, "Racist!", that is not what I mean. Love and marriage in any shape, color, etc, is beautiful, important and should be cherished and celebrated. But there is just something about Black love. I see/hear about it so infrequently that it is almost a fairy tale. In fact in all the weddings I've been to in the last couple of years, only one has been Black love!
This is love that maybe I can obtain, that maybe it's not fairy tale, but a hope. Now I'm not picky. Like I told my male closest friend, I would marry any race as long as he has chocolate skin. Just a preference. For now, I will continue feeding my fascination by looking at Jet Magazines, Essence online, and asking everyone I know about Black couples getting married :) I know it happening somewhere.
