So babs, Julie and I went to the Wedding Expo at the Wells Fargo Something or other (formerly known as the Luther Burbank Center of the Arts). It was fun because babs and Julie made it fun. I was not allowed to carry anything. I had preregistered us and the organizers gave 3 sheets of premade labels so I would just pop a sticker on the entry blank and try to win a fabulous prize. It saved the poor vendors from reading my scribbles. The first stop was a “Cake Ribbon Pull Extravaganza !!!!!(tm). You pulled this ribbon from the cake and got a prize. I won 2 cordials from Princess House and a hard sell for a “Princess House Party”. I am quite sure she will call me and try to arrange a party. I am also quite sure she will have a difficult time getting ahold of me. Lucky when I registered I used the home phone. Same thing with the Pampered Chef, good luck there buddy! (But I did like their products)
We wanderd around and admired the food and flowers. It was also fun to see the few men there who would say little but just follow their brides carrying bags.
Since I already had a photographer we could skip them. Looks like I have a dj as well, we could skip them. The most surprising thing was a dentist was there as well as 3 mortgage and finance companies. Found one caterer, the food was fabulous! Others were okay but charged $100 per person. *cough*. I also found one place that had a chocolate waterfall. And next to it was some graham crackers, cookies and rice krispie treats. I grabbed one and popped it into the warm chocolate heaven. It was yummy and I felt validated.
We bought the wine bracelet and sampled many vintages. I tried cooling my wine glass by putting it inside the ice sculptures.

So when me and the lads had lunch while you were here, some told the story of various weddings where men called caterers or florists to make arrangements. Invariably the response was. “Great…can we speak to the bride?” They would not take the word of the groom on the matter, and insisted on hearing the final decisions from the bride.
Guess that’s why they don’t call these things “Groom Shows.”
They’ve learned from long experience that the bride ALWAYS has the final say on EVERYTHING, unless her mother absolutely insists on something.
