A Wedding Fit for a Princess- Bishop T.D. Jake's Youngest Daughter Weds

I have listened to many of Bishop Jakes' inspiring and uplifting messages over the years. I wish the couple nothing but pure wedded bliss! Ok, back to blogger's tone...

Bishop T.D. Jakes, referred to as "America's Best Preacher" by CNN and Time Magazine, witnessed the union of his youngest daughter, Sarah Dionne Jakes,19, to Robert Henson, 22, her college sweetheart. The ceremony took place at The Potter's House in Dallas, Texas followed by a fairy-tale reception at the Jakes's palatial 28-acre estate. Guests included Tyler Perry, Dr. Phil McGraw, Deion Sanders, Tom Joyner and wife Donna Richardson Joyner, Paula White, Michael Irvin and Emmit Smith.

"The front lawn of Jakes's home was transformed into an enchanted forest replete with fog, mimes, a string quartet playing in a gazebo, and an ice sculpture of a glass slipper

Arriving in a Just Married-tagged horse-drawn carriage, the newlyweds were in every sense the evening's Cinderella and Prince Charming. "I really can't take credit for any of this," said Sarah, a broadcast journalism major who graduates next May.

Guests were treated to a buffet-style spread and a performance by singer Carl Thomas. But the night's best performance was the newlyweds' first dance. Surrounded by friends and loved ones, Sarah and Robert only had eyes for each other."

In his thoughtful blog, Bishop Jakes shared these words as he reflected on the day:

Almost perfect for us was the surreal presence of well wishers from near and far. Preachers, business tycoons, political
figures, and talk show hosts all came together. The eclectic guest list brought out both secular and sacred personalities, but they all came to join our many personal friends in wishing our children well. I knew my wife missed her mother being there. I knew that she remembered fondly her mother getting her ready for our wedding so many years before. Still my wife worked feverishly on Sarah's gown, hair, make-up, eyebrows, perfume, and everything
else imaginable. I too ached for my father's reassurance and my mother's practical wisdom, but I realized that those days are gone and these are quickly fleeting. I was so thankful for the people who I knew didn't really have time to attend, but came anyway. The greatest presence was from one we couldn't get a picture of, the Lord Himself, and with Him in attendance, then the wedding was a success!

The screenshot to your right is the old web site for L.E.G. Promotions (www.legpromo.info).

To remain relevant and punctual with event news, I made the decision to convert the L.E.G. Promotions original web site into a blog style site. I hope that you will find the event information you are looking for as well as a few suprises every now and then. The new site includes some of the same elements as the old including:

New Music Releases: Every month you can view a list of new music releases from the Gospel/Contemporary Industry.

Links: These are sites that are similar the L.E.G. Promos' content

Promos: Through graphics or links on the page, you will be able to connect with projects that L.E.G. Promotions is directly involved with.

What you will not find:

So, be sure to visit the link when it is available. Also, feel free to post an event (at no charge) and pass the word on to your church, youth group, or other organization.

theshop: Merchandise will be made available through a link also.

During the next few posts, I will be defining what Promotion are about and the mission of L.E.G. Promotions .

In addition, I am preparing for a new Summer Series entitled Artist Connection. Because the word "promotions" is apart of the business name, I am contacted by new as well as established artists all the time. I am asked a variety of questions from, "how do you market yourself",to, "do you know of any events that I can be included in?" Some of these I have provided answers to, but some I have been unable to. This is why I am bringing the best of the best in the music and events industry to give advice and tips to you independent artists out there.

Thanks for taking out the time visit the new site and I hope that you will be back soon!

God Bless,
