You have favorite cousin Cline and it's absolutely okay y'all you know cousin Cline and I are local and Madison
Wisconsin and we center our conversations around love around black people around politics and all
the stuff that's happening in the world and locally can we just start this section with locally there
was an extraordinary wedding that occurred last weekend and we and I didn't go because I wasn't invited
and I felt some kind of way. No that it was not an invite wedding it was at RSVP wedding and
What does that mean RSVP wedding? So the way that the Flins did it was they did like a social media
post and it just dropped your email if you wanted an invite. Oh they did I saw that post.
One of their communication was done via their website which is super beautiful and it kind of
kept us up today that also like grand their schedule any changes the venue was in my
whore up at the Eloise. I was wondering where you guys were at. Yeah it was about 25 minutes out.
Oh my god. Never been to this venue but this venue was breathtaking like when you walked in you felt
love you felt the decorum you felt the like I am at a wedding everybody the guests the the bride
and grown. It felt like a tirey a Tyler Perry movie wedding. I was like if the angels don't come
but it was so elegant. It was so nice. The wedding planner her name is Maria. I don't know her
company's name but she ate that up right. Jamaya is also an event planner who assisted as well.
Shout out to those two they did their thing and so let's not even leading up to the wedding the
bridal shower. Yeah the photo. The time is also organized. I want to say that so this was it was
evidence that it was going to lead up to a big band. They be beautiful. At the reception they had
a wonderful program they did like the shoe game. They did the trivia. They did a lot of trivia things
like you had to go there your table was set like you had to sit at a certain table. It wasn't
ghetto. It was all organized because you know I'm booze ghetto. I'm the I'm the most boozey ghetto
woman you know because I look I can't. I was in my element. If you were the king that's how you
would have felt. I was in my element. This is how this is how the girls love it. I was so proud
of the time. First of all I got a couple of friends getting married next year and I told them I
said y'all should get married before her. Yeah because the president said the bar is
said I said that's the same thing. I said now this is how you do it. I was delayed my wedding for
another year. No for real. I could catch up because it was that fabulous and and so beautiful.
So shout out to the newlyweds. No time in Cartel Flynn. Black love is revolutionary baby and I know
she said on a post that they have been together since age since she was 14 her high school sweetheart.
So that's just beautiful and then I have your dream wedding that that is yeah everything. So anyway

got going on locally. Oh given Tuesday is coming up. Yeah. It's a national day of giving for
nonprofit organizations. And of course who should you give to first the people's choice non-profit
