I just got back from the 2011 Spring Bridal Expo! I went with a friend I had made from DragonBallZ's(Yes, I am playing with names to call him to conceal his identity alothough I post pictures of him) baseball team. She's no GreaseMonkeyGirl, but she is a willing partner in crime and lots of fun too!
It was wonderful fun! There were cake samples of all kinds..Raspberry filled, buttercream, chocolate ganache, champagne cupcakes, OH MY!! Then there was food! Oh the food, the glorious food! There were lobster wontons and california springrolls and polish sausage and chicken... oh yum, the food! And people gushed over my old engagement ring and gushed over me, it was like having a wedding without having to have the wedding! There were all kinds of free samples like fabric swatches and keychains and bracelets and demo tapes from bands and DJ's. I loved being a fake bride for a day and gushing oer every detail of my wedding that never was and probably never will be. But I am OK with that because I am not left with a heft of debt at the end of the day. And I got to go home and lounge in my jammies and curl up with my two faorite people in the world and watch movies on my new, perfectly big and working Goodwill TV!! I love my new TV.
It's not like I am going to be Sue Sylvester and plan a wedding to marry myself or anything, but I am finally in a place where I am happy to be with me and not to be married. And going to bridal expo's is a small, free alternative to throwing my own wedding to marry...ME! :) This has opened up a whole new world to me!! I'e heard of people that go to wedding receptions or funeral luncheons for the food and prtend to be distant family members or old college roomates or something, but this is different. In a way. I still get to dress up a little and put on sparkly jewelry and pretend to be someone else for a moment, still get to eat wonderfull food and listen to great music. All without having to see hug people I don't know and make up memories about someone I have never met. I get to checkout premier restaraunts in the area, look into fantastic travel deals and destinations, and meet great bands and DJ's and to see where they are playing next. I also get to watch a fashion show and feel like I am in New York during fashoin week, I get to see a sneak peek at the new summer and spring lines coming out in certain stores and I get to meet local radio and TV personalities as well as I got a free CD from the radio station just for being there. What a FUN day!! So what if I totally lied about my life and made up good things about to happen. It may happen for me someday. But until then I get to get my fix at the seasonal bridal expos and then get to come home to a houseful of things that I love with people that I love and I get to eat food that we all love, all without having to succom to the opinions and preferences of someone else! Not a bad deal! Now if only I had a gay friend to go with as well as my girlfriends and then a hot transition guy to come home to for an hour!! THAT would make for a perfect day!
There's another one coming up this spring for the summer, anyone want to come?
