Going to the Chapel....

 On sunday we (the friends and I) went to A bridal show. 

And now I am here to tell you about. With lots of pictures.

 [Look at the cute veils they were giving all the brides :)]

My roommate Hula (above) is getting married!

And whats even more exciting is I am a bridesmaid! K that might not be more exciting then her getting married, but its pretty darn close.

And as I already said, we went to a bridal show!

It was fantastic. Cant figure out why I haven't been hitting these things up before now. You get to sample foods, look at pretty wedding things, watch a fashion show and for only $8! Which is a win-win in my book.

"Swaaaag...Stuff.We.All.Get."

If you can tell me where that quote is from you will win a prize. Not really, but You might go up a notch on my favorite people list ;)

These big black bags and the veils helped the vendors tell the brides from everyone else.

After we realized how long it was gonna take to go from booth to booth we no longer stopped at each booth and looked at the brochures. We just grabbed one, threw it in the big black bag, and moved along. We had food to taste and a fashion show to see!

I have to admit something. We didnt know what we were getting ourselves into going to this thing. We were not prepared. You know how many of those forms we had to fill out?? Each booth was giving away stuff, so at each booth we had to fill out an entry form (we cheated the system and each filled one out every time giving her at least 3 entries) Dont really know if that was cheating but I can tell you we werent the only ones doing it. Anyways there was another bridal party there who had made stickers with all the brides info on it to just stick on the entry forms. Genius! Wishing we would have thought of it first. Saving that idea for next time folks.

One of those thousand entries paid off right away and Hula one a mini make-over!

[the bag got really heavy after we filled it with swaaag..]

Dont let that smile fool you though, pretty sure she was yelling at us about something right before this ;)

We ended up having a great day and were able to collect A LOT of information. I would really suggest you check out a bridal show before you get married and decide on things like your venue, caterer, photographer, flowers and everything else that a wedding entails. You will be glad you did :)
