A Look At Black Marriages..."Saying I Do"
NEW YORK – For Kenny and Lynette Seymour, last weekend's black marriage gala was about celebrating their seven-year marriage. They got to meet other black couples while spending a romantic evening together.
"Every time you meet another couple, you learn something new about yourself and relationships in general," said Kenny Seymour, a 39-year-old Broadway music director who lives in Queens. "It was beautiful to be around a bunch of married people in love."
Other black couples will be marking the eighth annual Black Marriage Day this weekend, by attending workshops, black-tie dinners and other activities. Some groups have held events throughout the month, although Black Marriage Day, which celebrates matrimony in the black community, falls on the fourth Sunday in March.

Wow I didn't know such a thing existed. I think its beautiful and benefical to Black Marriage especially in today world. People want to say Black men and women can't get along long enough to marry but this as well as other personal couples for me (my family and other friends family) tells me different. So will not give up on getting married.
