My blogging journey started with Nubian Fitness Goddess, where I provide motivation and information about Black Women who are focused on having healthier lives. I've enjoyed blogging so much that I have decided to share my wedding planning journey via A Cinderella Story.
So Why Cinderella?
1. My wedding planning has already been such a unique experience. I was selected to participate in PEOPLE MAGAZINE's Weight Loss Challenge. My fiance and I are in the current January 11th issue (pg. 94 and 98), and I will be followed over the next 9 months. So please check out People Mag to follow my Weight Loss Journey.
2. My name (Cendrine) comes from Cinderella, thanks mom :-)
3. Hmmm...I think 1 and 2 where good enough
God has been so good to me and I have certainly learned that he rewards those who help others.
I will be sharing my wedding planning process, tips, resources, and perhaps even a little relationship information. Given all the media attention on the difficulty for successful black women to find husbands, I want to encourage you all to keep the faith in findinglove.
Lastly, I must share one of my favorite wedding bloggers (plus she is my wedding planner)—
Check out Corretta's Event's.
Note: The pic above, is one my absolute favorite pics of Barack and Michelle. They are an inspiring couple!
Please comment!
So, anyone else out there planning a wedding?

Cendrine never ceases to amaze me...love the idea boo.. especially the encourangement that black women can find a good man (I never doubted that lol)
I will be following and stealing ideas for my perfect wedding...then maybe I'll start to look for an actual husband :)
I am mother of the bride. Thanks for the acknowledgment of naming you Cendrine.
I am so proud and excited about your spread in People Magazine. I have been telling everyone.
This is the background story on your name.
Cendrine appropriately calls her blog a Cinderella Story because her name in old French translates to Cinderella. The name Cendrine comes from the French root word “cendres” which means ashes. “Cendrier” is the French word for ashtray. “Cendrillon” is the current day French translation of Cinderella.
Cendrine was born in Belgium. Her mother who speaks fluent French named Cendrine after a friend she met while living in Paris, France. Her parents who are now divorced met in Paris, France while her 6'9" father played international professional basketball.
Cendrine Robinson is a real live African American “Cinderella Princess Bride.”
I had an opportunity to visit B Smith's restaurant at Union Station in Washington, D.C. I loved the decor. It is very elegant plus the history makes it unique. I think it will be the perfect spot for an intimate wedding. My vote is for B Smith's Restaurant. It is fabulous.
