Life in the Fast Lane: Bridal Show Shenanigans

A few months after the engagement Momma Coyote, MOH D and I went to a bridal show. I don't really even know why we went... I guess because everyone in the world was telling me to and all the cool kids are doing it and I give in to peer pressure like that. (Do as I say... Not as I do!)

The bridal show was half fun, half overwhelming. Some people like the attention. Me? Not so much.

First of all, the place was INSANE. It was soooo crowded with booths and brides and PEOPLE. And honestly, all of those vendors kiiiiind of felt like vultures to me. Oh and heaven forbid you even gave them a sideways glance... They freakin' pounced! They either wanted to book you on the spot or have you write down your life story on their stupid sign-on sheet. I know, I know... They're just doing their job. But yeesh, let a bride breathe!

Okay, so as usual I'm overreacting. I did meet many pleasant vendors, but the reality is I am social recluse. I prefer to just sit in front of the TV watching Boy Meets World reruns (ABC Family from 7-8 AM, go DVR it right now!) and checking out Wedding Wire reviews on my laptop. Let's be honest here... Who doesn't?!

Oh and I saw some girls that I went to high school with which was nice.... But mostly awkward. "Oh hey, you're getting married? Congrats! Me too! So uhhhh, see you at the reunion next year... Good luck with planning and all.. that.. life.. stuff.."

Yeah. Awkward.

Anyways... we did get free food and drinks and took our pictures in as many photo booths as possible, so the day wasn't a total bust.
