I love it! The love between them is whats important. People spend a million dollars on thier wedding and then they be divorced a few years later. They got thier friends there, they got thier family thier, they got food, and they doing thier thing. A big ceremony dont mean to marriage gonna last. Im impressed that they were able to make such a nice day for themselves...even though they didnt have any money. I like the people that can make things happen.
Love makes things happen. Remember that song.
You do what you have to do. Looks funny but the main idea is to be bonded together in a trusting, hopefully long lasting, relationship whether it is at the court house or the out house. They could have eloped. Those people are celebrating their love whether they did it up small or big.
It could have cost them 50, if the pastor donated his time-he is a servant of God anyway so he should be donating his time to those in need. The food could have been brought by family, friends. They might have had to get some extras so that might be where the 50 came in. You can do a wedding on a budget or probably for free too. Just have to be creative.
Nothing is wrong with this. They can have a big reception when they can afford it. The most important thing is if the MARRIAGE LAST. These are hard times. And as far as the cake is concerned, even if you can afford to have a nice wedding, a sheet cake is where it's at. They are too expensive. You buy a small cheap (expensive looking) wedding cake for the bride and groom to cut for wedding pictures. And the guest get a sheet cake. Save your money for the mortgage. Get it right people.
well at least they are NOT startin the marriage off with alot of DEBT by havin a weddin they can't AFFORD like ALOT of people DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and they are marryin for the RIGHT reasons..........with that said, I CAN'T say NOTHING bad bout these folks & NO BODY else SHOULDN'T EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is nothing wrong with getting married at the house, because love is love, but maybe just to save face they should have gone down to City Hall and did it sense money was obviously non-existent and nobody cared to even chip in. I mean come on chips'n'dip, a fruit platter, sparkling cider, cheese and [EXPLETIVE] and a neighborhood bakery cake? OK, All that matters is they love one another, but I'm just saying couldn't they have borrow $300 worth of food stamps for food that's filling for their guests? And made it a wedding/bridle thingy and had guests bring wedding gifts..... 4u2.com
It will be something if they last for over 50 years. While some of y'all still be single, or have a marriage last for like 5 years and under. They were nice with it. You don't have to have a huge wedding. The ish wasn't ghetto as hell. They had it infront of a few friends and fam. Some of y'all probably spend over $2k for a wedding for BS.
@Plies_Franklin, your avi made my day!LOL To touch on this its true you don't need money. They had what they needed; each other, their loved ones, and a rev. Best of luck to the bride and groom. She look like she finna drop that baby tomorrow. At least they not spending 70k on 1 day for a divorce in 3 yrs. Now thats stupid
As was said before, they will probably stay married longer than any of those "platinum wedding" fools. It's a recession, don't get married beyond your means and you'll probably stay married longer. Some people are still paying for their wedding even after they have already divorced. You don't need to be rich to get married, you need love.

Are you serious? WTF does 'worser' mean? If you gonna try to bash someone at least use proper English, periods, and spelling skills. You call yourself trying to speak knowledge and facts but you can't even express them correctly in your posts? Damn shame.
Aint shyt wrong with that! At least these people GOT SOME DAMN MORALS and DIGNITY to get HITCHED. cant say the same for 75% of our people who aint got no mind havin all these damn illigetimate baybays and baby daddys and baby mama drama.
Negroes watch too much DAMN t.v! That 500,000 dollar wedding shows and bridegillas aint shyt but a bunch of loud noise and showing off.
Aint nothing wrong with a fancy wedding IF the FAMILY has the MONEY to pay for such lavishness. But if a family dont have the paper, there isnt anything wrong with having a quiet intimate wedding so long as the ministe

Check yourself fool. First I don't have to get NASTY to make my point to you. That shows your immaturity right there.
I'm not 'pissed' about brothers waking up to anything. Puhleeze. IN YOUR DREAMS you would like to believe that Black women are crying in the corners cuz a few fellas choose to date other races. NEWSFLASH! Nuh uh. Like yourself, I'm sudo what you wanna do and keep your whining and bytching to urself.
I'm too old to stick my nose in anyone's azz for a paycheck bruh. Don't you worry yourself how I make my living. As usual you make zero sense.
I can't say nothing negative about that; if I get married again I don't want a wedding. There to stressful & a waste of money. If my husband & I could make it 4 10yrs then we we would have a wedding, cus that's something 2 celebrate. Married people know a wedding is more sad than a funeral & justs makes it harder 2 leave the sorry bastard.
The building structure is irrelevant when it comes to nuptial ceromonies...just like places of worship need not to be in a big-ass church or any church! It's about the community coming together for a common cause and goal and in this case, close family and friends sharing of the unity of two people....It happens to be a someone's home.
So I'll say it again...

Your posts paint more of a picture of YOURSELF than you think you are painting about black chicks.
You can dog me all you want. The sun will still rise tomorrow and you will STILL BE MISERABLE and WHINING ABOUT FEMALES as usual. GROWN AZZ MAN whining about women on the internet. Pathetic nucca meat.
ITS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS. IF THEY WOULD HAVE SENT ME AN EMAIL I SWEAR I WOULD HAVE DONATED SOMETHING TO HELP THEM OUT....GOD IS GOOD.
AT ACTS FULL GOSPEL IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA THEY ARE MARRYING PEOPLE WITH NO CHARGE TO PROMOTE MARRIAGES ALL THIS YEAR...
T-BOZ AND MAC 10 PAID A MILLION AND MORE FOR THEIR WEDDING AND WAS DIVORCED A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER.
NAS AND KELIS, AND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHERS PAID FOR EXPENSIVE WEDDING...ITS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS
Some of yall may disagree with me but....they clearly don't have any money. If they did this hot mess fiasco would not have taken place. If you are broke! then a wedding should NOT be your main concern!! Now don't get me wrong this could very well be their taste, but if you want a beautiful wedding why settle just because you don't have the funds. Save for the wedding of your dreams. Why rush? And btw by the looks of it money may be an issue, but this is probably their taste anyways. I'm just saying though!!
Nothing wrong with it! I was married in the chapel at my church, reception was at my mom's house, and we went to see Forest Gump for our honeymoon! I have been married for almost 17yrs, my husband takes very good care of me, and that 1caret diamond is now 3! Get a life! People have these lavish weddings and don't be together long enough to pay the debts off, or are asking for money in lieu of gifts!
Love is all that matters.
You don't have to spend thousands of dollars to show how much you love someone.
All you need is God, friends and family and something to eat and drink.
Some of ya'll commenting on how tacky it is needs to shut the hell up. Let's see how your wedding gonna come out?
This happy couple maybe saving their money on the baby or a bigger home.
Congrats to the happy couple!!!!

- I agree 100%! I definitely would not settle for a $50 wedding.
I think it was a beautiful wedding! They made it happend! M wedding was $2,000, and the reception was at my mother and laws big lawn.Most of the money went towards food,my dress, and his tux. It's not the wedding people, it's the vows. I almost got sucked into the big marriage thing, but i reliazed it's the fact that we are now husband and wife that matter!
I don't believe in big weddings & going all out. But, this is tacky! I'm sure they've spent more money "partying & clubbing" so why get cheap when it comes to something as sacred as marriage?!? SMH..no dignity whatsoever. And it's not like anyone is touching that fruit/veggie tray (lol), so that's $12.99 down the drain that could have went toward a bouquet of flowers. The bouquets @ Kroger's are like...5 bucks. So, EVERYBODY could have had a bouquet! O_o But, they probably don't mess w/ flowers either. Wow! LOL
"You gotta do what you have to do" means...PRIORITIZE!
- be responsible - save up
To the comment above mine: Ppl don't understand the sanctity of marriage anymore. It's not about YOU, it's about God! Show Him some respect!
Small/intimate wedding does not mean be cheap & get it out the way, especially when Black folks will save up to go to a concert, a Superbowl, or Essence! And we won't get into big screen tv's & rims!
At first I kind of LOL'd, but they did the best they could and made it work for them. And these pics really scream out that LOVE is much more important than money and other materialistic things!! So kudos to them, that's what's up. The people that usually get these big ole saddity lavish fancy weddings be the quickest to DIVORCE! All that lavishness doesn't mean the couple will be together forever. And all that money was spent for NOTHING! This couple might just be married for 85 years!! I'll take real love over some fancy materialistic phoniness anyday...
Yeahhhhhh I'm thinking they should have waited to get that $ up. Why even do this much? If being married to the 1 you love or being married b4 the baby (hope she's preggers cuz if not...) is PRIORITY 1..why not just hit up the court house. stack some cash and have a cermony LATER! Impatient MO'FOS across the board. didnt wait to be married to start having kids, couldnt wait to stack for a non "red cup" wedding, DAWG I'm annoyed lol j/k. Congrats tho
@blackbeautydiva-Exactly. Having someone u truly loves u, will do anything for u, & is always there for u is worth more than a billion dollars. People just don't realize how truly important love is. All I want is a man who truly loves me & God with all his heart. He could be janitor or a clerk; it don't matter cus i got my own. Someone who is gonna take care of me when Im sick, old, & down or out. There's a shortage of those type of men in all races.
1st Verse: Must be nice Having someone who understands the life you live Must be nice Having someone who's slow to take and quick to give Must be nice Having someone who sticks around when the rough times get thick someone who's smile is bright enough to make the projects feel like a mansion Must be nice Having someone who loves you despite your faults Must be nice Having someone who talks the talk but also walks the walk Must be nice Having someone who understands that a thug has feelings too someone who loves you for sho' you just remember to never let 'em go
Chorus: Even when your hustling days are gone She'll be by your side still holding on/Even when those 20's stop spinning and all those gold-digging women disappear she'll still be here
2nd Verse: Must be nice Having someone you can come home to from a long day of work Must be nice Having someone you don't have to show they know exactly where it hurts Must be nice Having someone who trusts you despite what they've heard Someone as mighty as a lion but still as gentle as a bluebird Must be nice Having someone you don't have to tell you don't want to be alone Must be nice Having someone you can grow old with until God calls ya'll home Must be nice Having someone who understands that a thug has feelings too someone who loves you for sho' you just remember to never let 'em go
Chorus
This is so sweet! I think that the minority of u r delsuional and immature! How can they wait 2 get married???? U do realize that she is pregnant right? Also in a perfect world every1 would have a good job in order 2 take care of a child but we live in reality! My mama didn't wait, and neither did I but ill tell u she did the best she could, and I beat the statistics on young single mothers by earning my H.S. Diploma, Associates & Bacholors degree all b4 the age of 30! Only 2% of teen moms have done what I did so naysayers need 2 fall back!
If you can't tell she's pregnant too. Her belly is hard looking. I've seen worse...at least they won't be living in SIN. I'm just going down to the court house and pay the $65. We will plan wedding later. I bought my dress about 4 months ago and now I can fit the damn thing cause I preggo..baby ain't due til September so I guess my wedding will be next spring.
Why does anyone even respond to Sir-toe-jam-alot88?? wether woman or man, the person is obviously disturbed. Ignore the ignorant. Thats the best policy...lol
Any hooo...Money aint everything. do what makes you happy. some people get married and spend thousands then end up divorced in a few months.Now what kind of Sense does that make???
Congrats to them. I think $50 is just a lil ridiculous, but then again, it looks like they have a baby on the way and maybe they're trying to do the responsible thing and save to prepare for the lil one. People want to rag on them, but some of you would be the same ones to comment about people bringing children into the world out of wedlock. They love each other enough to do the right thing, even if it means not having a fancy wedding.
WELL AT LEAST THEY AREN'T STARTING OUT THEIR LIVES WITH A BUNCH OF DEBT AND THEY ARE SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THEM. I MEAN YES THEY COULD HAVE GOT MARRIED AT THE COURT BUT APPARENTLY THATS NOT WHAT THEY WANTED AND WHO AM I OR ANYONE ELSE TO JUDGE. IT'S NICE TO SEE A YOUNG BLACK COUPLE MAKING IT OFFICIAL. FOR ALL WE KNOW MAYBE HE SPENT IT ALL TRYING TO GET HER A DECENT RING OR HONEYMOON. THEY BOTH LOOK HAPPY.
