BlackBridalBliss.com Presents Cupcakes, Cocktails & Conversation in D.C.!

Ever wonder why there's so much focus on wedding planning but very little on marriage planning? So did we. Thus, the award-winning BlackBridalBliss.com is bringing Cupcakes, Cocktails & Conversation to Washington, D.C. The exciting event is being hosted by ESSENCE Magazine Entertainment Director, Cori Murray at the lovely Akwaaba Bed & Breakfast Inn in D.C.'s trendy Dupont Circle!

This fun gathering of engaged and newlywed couples will be a chance to meet founder/editor Bridgette Bartlett Royall and the blog's resident male contributor, Cousin Mars, all while mixing, mingling, sipping specialty cocktails created by the ladies of Stir D.C. and enjoying yummy baked treats from Mimi's. (Singles and non-newlywed couples are welcome, too.) Guests can pose for glam pics on the Triple B purple carpet while the talented lensman behind Rising Virgo snaps pics and captures video. There will also be a lively discussion with some awesome fellas on love, manhood + marriage. You DON'T want to miss this!

ESSENCE Entertainment Director + DMV's own Cori Murray (above) will ask our fellas those tough questions!
