Sports sexiest couple recently modeled exclusively for DrJays.com to debut Sean John’s Holiday ‘09 collection, which includes the relaunch of the brand’s new women’s line.

With five months to go until my wedding I have experienced some things I didn’t expect! Planning a wedding can be challenging and rewarding all at the same time. Here are some of my experiences so far:

UP: MARRIAGE COUNSELING
A MUST! We started our counseling with the pastor who will be marrying us or just “our pastor” and it has been one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences we’ve had so far. He’s made us think through some challenging scenarios and explained to us the roles of a man and a woman in marriage. So many people get coached or trained to do other things and neglect getting guidance before making the most important commitment of their life!

DOWN: BRIDESMAIDS
I thought I had this section well under control as I have lots of friends, great friends, but if its not one thing it’s the next! From unexpected pregnancies, to difficulties finding a dress that is flattering on everyone, this has been one of the biggest challenges so far!

UP: PICKING MY DRESS
Much easier than I anticipated! I tried on Vera Wang, Pnina Tornai and Lazaro to name a few, and after trying on almost every dress in the stores I went with a St. Pucci original that is simply breathtaking! I can’t wait for Ross to see me walk down the aisle!

DOWN: TRIMMING THE NUMBERS
Having so many people that are meaningful in our lives it’s tough drawing the line. With lots of family members and friends from high school, college, track and field, football, Church, Florida, Texas, Jamaica, it seems like the list never ends! Where do we draw the line? Do our high school friends get to bring their new friends? (I think one more outrageous example to drive this home would be nice, but not a must…like….Can a friend of a friend, of a friend, bring a friend we’ve never met before?)…..I think that’s going a little too far, but trust me, they ask!!!

UP: GET A WEDDING PLANER
If you can, get a wedding planner. Every time I feel a bit overwhelmed I call my planner, Donnie Brown, and everything is under control! It’s a great feeling knowing that you have someone that has done it a million times and can guide you to help make your special day as flawless as possible!

DOWN: KEEPING SECRETS
Ross and I love to surprise each other, but it seems like nothing stays a secret! I have my plans and I know he has his. However, so far everything seems to leak! I hate that, I don’t want him to know everything….I want to keep a few tricks up my sleeve for our big day!

Stay tuned for more updates on everything about our upcoming wedding…

There is something so special about loving a man, the right man!

I’m so lucky  to be in love with an amazing man. We’ve been together for six years and I fall in love with him more and more each day. He’s made me a better person and added all his good traits to me, or at least the ones I’m mature enough to change. Here are some of the things that have made our relationship work.

VALUE YOUR MAN
No matter how much time has passed you should always make your man feel valued. Let him know how great he is, he has to be doing something right, that’s why you’re with him! Make him know you value his opinion, his dedication to you or his work, his clean look….whatever!

KEEP IT UP
Whatever it is, if you did it to get him, you better do it to keep him. Continue getting your hair and nails done. Throw on one of your hottest outfits every now and then. It’s important that you keep him attracted to you! If you don’t someone else will!!!

MAKE HIM MISS YOU
My job takes me all over the country and away from my honey for weeks at a time. Although I always miss him so much, the saying is so true, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Every time I see him after a long trip, its like seeing him for the first time! Don’t think you always have to be with your man, give him a chance to miss you……it’s always worth it!

MAKE ONE OF HIS HOBBIES YOURS
All men like their space and their guy time, but every now and then, its nice if you pop in. Learn his favorite video game and surprise him with your new moves. Men love when you pay attention and he will feel really special that you took the time.

LOVE IS A CHOICE NOT A FEELING
You won’t wake up everyday and feel madly in love but it doesn’t mean that you’re not in a great relationship. Remember when he comes home everyday he choses to be with you! Don’t fuss and fight over the small things…..he could be anywhere and he wants to be with you!

FALL BACK
As women of color, I think this may be the hardest thing to do, but it may be the most important. Yes, we usually make everything happen, but we have to know when to fall back and let him take the lead. There can be two eyes, two hands, and two feet, but there can only be ONE HEAD!

I won’t boast to be an expert in relationships by any means or do I believe I have the perfect one, but I must say I have loved being and growing in mine! Of course we have our bad days but when you’ve found the right one, like the songs says, “I’d rather  have hard times with you, than good times with someone else!”
