Wedding fair Part the second

Figured since I have yet to do the Perth review (which is coming just waiting for place to put the pics :) I'd give you all my view of the bridal fair.

That was the only bridal fair I will ever attend, even when I get married, eeech. That was way too painful for words. But I will try.


The first thing that we noticed was the way that store holders would look over our little band (Decay, Droidy, B, Em and Myself (Jules was sick get well soon!)) and immediatly assume I was the bride. Ok I am was the oldest member of the group, but how annoying, (actually I think it annoyed Decay and Droidy more than me, after about 25 mins of this they were to been seen with droidy as a permenant attachment to decays side)

The bridal catwalk brought much amusment for me, I gave up trying to count the number of times the announcer said "And From House of ..... (insert various high priced names here) a spectacular assortment of ....(insert part of bridal accutroments)" Spectacular seemed to be the word for the day.

My vote for most appalingly bad tase stand went to the stand offering dental surgery.

My vote for stand with best munchies went to the cake stand handing out little muffins (sorry little, little cakes)

Best dressed stand went to Mortica's, hell it wasn't my idea of a wedding outfit but they looked good! (Especially liked the hooped red and black vinyl number)

Best look of the day was shared by the reception places who tried to hand us info only to be asked "can you fit 400!" Amazing how much this cuts down the crap content.

the courage award goes to the poor male model who had to wear the harem outfit and pretend to run after Cinderella :)

All in all done me in for bridal fairs forever and a day

Hi all, been eagerly waiting for Bridal/Wedding Fair stuff so I can add my 2 bits worth...
Personally, I thought it was a fun day, I'd been expecting it to be kinda boring and more for the actualy couples than hangers on...sorry, bridesmaids...but I had a great time looking at all the stalls and things on offer. Yes, all the Cosmetic Dentristy Stands drove me crazy. And there were a lot of nice dresses, whether they be appropriate for a wedding or not remains to be seen. But a well made dress is a well made dress any day of the week, whether it comes from Mortisha's or Delicious Kisses or whoever. My favourite stand was the one for 'Suga'(I need to get married now so I can have a bombomniere from there!!). Most surprising or 'What the?!?!' stand had to be the 'Butterfly Releases'. The mega stretch Limo was another highlight. And the Fireworks people who also did funerals.
I think that about wraps it up for me. I'd go again!! An unexpectedly fun day out. Recommended viewing.

Nah it wasn't really all that annoying ... I'm not particularly feeling/looking bridey or anything ... and it means that I can approach them to ask them stuff if I want them to, instead of having them impose themselves on me and me going um... I didn't really need to know any of this but thanks?

*giggle* ... me being a permanent attachment on Decay's side isn't anything new ... at the bogan party some mention of koala was made (:

However, having been to one bridal fair, I'm highly unlikely to want to go to another one in the near future... But I have been told that the ones held in shopping centres are useful also ...

We'll see... no white dress!
