Excited to learn more about planning our perfect day, I packed the fiance into the car and headed to further down South, despite rainy conditions.
**As a side note, Trev really was a good sport. I didn't see a lot of brides towing their fiances around, probably because they were too busy holding onto their "man card." Not my man; he was right there next to me, tasting food, looking at dresses, and telling me how stupid he thinks photo booths are. Trevie, I love you, thanks for coming with me. (:
The show was fine and dandy. It was held in a great place, had awesome vendors, and wasn't terribly crowded. . .
But, as a bride who still isn't quite sure what the hell she's doing, woe #3 is wedding expo overhaul.
At every booth I was stopped and got the same routine. I was asked about what day we had picked, who and what I had already booked, where I was getting married (got a lot of funny looks for saying we were getting married in Utah County), asked if the "young man next to me was the lucky guy" (no, dumbasss, I'm just holding his hand for the hell of it), and then was told about their business and about how they were so much better than the guy in the booth next to them.
After a five minute stay at the booth, I would fill out a slip to be put in for a drawing (what drawing, I had no idea), was handed a bunch of papers, and would move on my way to the next booth where the same routine would happen.
Did I know what drawings I put in for? No. Did I learn anything from that vendor? Not really, other than they were better than the booth next to them. Was there a whole bunch of information shoved in my face about stuff not even applicable to a poor college bride? Yes. Was there a lot of "the same" stuff, like vintage themed weddings and "hipster" color pallets, that I don't even like? Yes. When I came home last night and dumped out my bag of "goodies", half of the shit was thrown away because 1) I couldn't remember anything interesting about the vendor, 2) it didn't apply to me, or 3) I didn't win their drawing.
More importantly: did I walk away from the show with any ideas or information for our wedding day?
NO.
I'm still lost and confused as ever, trying to plan a unique wedding for me and Mr. Green.
However, I did win a $250 value package from Sessions Salon in St. George, to receive a wedding updo, makeup, shellac on fingers and toes, eyebrow wax and threading, an airbrush tan, and my personal favorite, eyelash extensions.
Trev had to push me up on stage when they announced my name. I kept saying, "What? Really? Me? What the hell?"
That, my friends, did make the expo all worth it. I'm gonna be pretty for my bridal/groomal pictures, and for our wedding day. (:
