Today we went to a Bridal show, the biggest in San Diego according to the radio advertisements. We don't really need that much for the wedding so we went thinking that we were going to find a bakery to do our cake. The great thing is that at the bridal show you get to taste samples of the cake... mmm. We also got some ideas for flowers and favors.
We really enjoyed turning down all kids of vendors for things that we don't even need: DJ, caterer, wedding planner, limo service all the silly frilly wedding things we’re not using. I especially loved that all of the photographers “show specials” were more than were planning on spending on the entire ceremony. As Robert and I say yesterday we are bringing down the $25,000 average WAY down with our wedding.
Of course after all the cake tasting and talking to bakers at the show we decided on the way home that I’m just going to make cupcakes for our 30 guests with yummy frosting a put a flower on the top to dress them up. At least that way I’ll have an activity to keep myself busy.
After going to the bridal show we finished our afternoon with one of my favorite things, we went to our favorite farmers market to get some produce and hummus. We had great lunch and got to eat it on the grass listening to live music.
At least I got lots of picutes, magazines and ideas out of the whole deal. Things are flying by; we have most everything figured out. Now we just need to wait a while to get things ordered and figure out the last few details and we’ll be good to go. Can’t wait to see you all in Washington!
