A Milestone Birthday Dinner

Hey world, Happy New Year!!!!! Its already four weeks into the new year and things have been really great so far. I love this time of the year because it is an opportunity to start off on a clean slate and for me it is the time to plan for all the events coming up through the year.....

I helped one of my oldest, dearest, most amazing friend plan her milestone birthday. The minute we started talking about her birthday coming up I wanted to make it special for her, especially because of how special she is to me. Using all my resources as an event planner, thankfully the day turned out to be a huge success.  Enjoy the pictures :)

Thank you to Xprexxions for the photography and Funmi for the decor and to Lemon Tulip for the cake. The dinner was at Gracies Restaurant in Bowie Maryland.

Destination Minnesota

I always wonder who is more eager to see the picture and video highlights of a RAE Affairs weddings, the couple or the RAE Affairs team?  I am sure the correct answer here is the coupleJ; however, I know I am always excited when I get an email with wedding pictures or videos.

Below I have posted a video link to a destination wedding in Minneapolis Minnesota that RAE Affairs had the privilege of planning on August 20th 2011. When I think of Ronke and Aaron’s wedding all I can do is smile because of how beautiful their day was. They are truly an amazing couple, and I hope you get to see a glimpse of their day from the wonderful video below put together by MyGuy Media.

Thanks for watching!

Asibeli and Chubba Sept 4th 2011

I am not sure what it was about Asibeli and Chubba's wedding that made it so wonderful; maybe it was the undeniably love of the couple or maybe it was the fact that it was a Sunday wedding. but whatever it was, I knew the grace and favor of God was upon the date Asibeli and Chubba had set out to celebrate their love with their friends and family.

I loved Asibeli and Chubba's wedding at the Cherry Blossom Banquet Hall and it was an awesome experience for me as the wedding coordinator  as well. Thank you both so much for allowing RAE Affairs be apart of your day and we wish you both long life and a love that knows no end.
