On October 2, 1999, the SABB crew was granted the honor of
covering
Mr. & Mrs. Kaleen Abdul Cooper's wedding in it's entirety. SABB captured
every move on videotape and preserved every tear, smile, and glance to
still photography. SABB was there...live and in living color. Speaking
of color, this was an afrocentric wedding right down to the jumping of the
broom. The couple waved a one hundred year old doll, drank wine from a
wooden ladle, and the best man carried a shield and a 6 foot spear to
drums playing with authority off to the right. There was a mood of
excitement, honor, and a feeling of togetherness all at once. There were
expressions of wonder, pride, and admiration. It just felt good. This
wedding was done with love and sincerity for the bride, groom, and their
ROOTS!
