So we ate cake...
Hmm...looks like the person that took our picture is definitely not a photographer. All this went down on Sunday. It was all just too much to include int he "Over the weekend..." post. So Claudia, and her MOH's headed on down to the Queen Mary in Long Beach for a "small" Bridal Expo. MOH = Maid of Honor. I'm 1 of her 2 MOH's. The good thing about Claudia, no, the great thing about Claudia is that she is not a Bridezilla. At all!. I've never been to a bridal expo so I wasn't sure what to expect but I had images of women going crazy, dressed in white and wearing veils! Doreen, having already done this whole routine before, informed us that yes, women do get crazy and dress up and go nuts. But like I said before, this one was a "small" event so the crazy was not really present. I only saw one girl wearing a veil.
At the bridal show there were over 100 venders for everything from flowers to dj's...did I mention cake? We ate so much cake, I don't think I will be ready for another piece untill the actual wedding. There were also meatballs...
Doreen likes meat balls...
There were three levels to go through so we started making the rounds on the top level. There seemed to be lots of commotion coming from the third level below so we peered down to see what the fuss was all about...there was a runway! There was going to be a fashion show later but for the moment there were games being played and prizes being given away. The guy with the microphone would ask things like "I need four men up here wearing their Fiancée's shoes...The first four to get on stage."
It was at that moment I realized that there are men at these things too! I thought how funny, everything about this event was geared towards a wedding right? The flowers, food, location, photographers, DJ's, event coordinators and so much more...yet It's not called the Wedding Expo, It's called the BRIDAL Expo. As in Bride to be. As in the crazy chick with the diamond on her finger...yeah that one! What about the Groom? Well, to the few that were in attendance...bless your hearts.
Turns out these things do really pay off to attend though. You can get really great deals on just about everything plus there are tons of things to look at, goodies to take home. and ideas to steal...uh... borrow?...use?...incorporate! Yes, Incorporate into your own wedding. Unless you think you are too cool for that. Or you are not "allowed" to. Like the dude in the picture below with the clip board informed us. We were so intrigued by this flower arrangement that we just had to take a picture of it (like we had of every other things we saw and nobody had a problem with us doing that.) It was the perfect example of what Claudia was looking for flower-wise so we were excited! Right as Doreen put up her iPhone to capture the image the guy blocked the display with his had and said no photos! We were like "Whaaaaa?" Doreen said "Then how are we supposed to remember you?" Apparently they work by "appointment only". Pfff.
As we walked away I turned around and noticed you could see the arrangement from behind the display. We got our picture :)
5 pouds in cake later we went home...It was a lot more fun than I expected.
Have you ever been to and insane event like this? Did she or didn't she say "Let them eat cake?"
