Singer Eric Roberson's Got Married!
Congratulations Eric & Shawn!
Eight years ago, singer and songwriter Eric Roberson got more than he bargained for after one of his shows: he met his future wife, Shawn.
"We're both Howard University alums but had never met," says Eric. "She told me my first album,"Esoteric," was amazing and that's all she wrote after that."

Three Ways to Cut Cake Costs
The wedding cake you've fantasized about can also be the one your wallet says "yes" to. Here are some great ideas for a more affordable - but still gorgeous - wedding cake.
1. Get a smaller cake. Show off the beautiful wedding cake for everyone to see, then have a sheet cake of the same flavor cut in the back.
2. Make mini cakes. Instead of one large cake, split up the cost and ask your baker to make every guest a cupcake of your favorite flavor instead. Top each with something pretty, and build a 'wedding cake' tower of your fabulous cupcakes.
3. Offer a dessert bar. Another great way to offer dessert while having a smaller cake: set up a dessert bar with mini pastries and coffee to offset a piece of wedding cake.
Relationship Tips
Adore your Mate
Beyond telling your mate that you love them, that they are special, and having passion in your relationship, you should adore your mate and what they bring into the relationship. What that means is to appreciate and love them for the person they are, faults and all. This is true devotion to your mate and demonstration that you do not take them for granted. |
