On Tuesday (black Tuesday for all you Tigers fans) the Grosse Pointe War Memorial hosted a tasting party, complete with an assortment of appetizers and entrees. Since Mark had to work my mom filled in as the carnivore taste-tester. The event was helpful and Mark and I will be able to go through our menu selection process much easier now that I've actually tried a few things.
There were vendors there as well; linens, flowers, cakes, chocolate fountains, dress makers, photographers. They should really blow that out and have more vendors in for couples to meet with.

make some noise brides!
Oops, forgot to update everyone on the Bridal Show Extravaganza; “make some noise brides!” Does the sound of me gagging on the cheesiness count?
First off, punch my face if I ever say I’m going to be IN the show. The girls on the runway…wow…confident, and good for them! In all I think this show is best suited for people in the very beginning stages of planning but the entire thing is overwhelming and I’m afraid to look in my MSU email account since 98% of the booths were just seeking your contact information. The vast majority of vendors were photographers, DJs, tuxes and transportation companies. A few honeymoon “win a trip” tables and a few linen rental places. Only two floral displays and no “party favor” people. The best part for me was hanging out with Liz, Jo Lynn and Julie!
Photo booths are the new craze for weddings, here’s a few gems I’d like to pass on to you:
Awkward photo booth photos for your enjoyment:
Click number ONE: Suckered in, fortunately didn’t have to leave my contact info (I faux left it by ghost writing one then throwing it away when they weren’t looking)
Click number TWO: Smile! Nah, blink or stink eye only.
Click number THREE: Overserved perhaps? Or were they just that happy to have a baby-sitter?
Click word SAY: Oh man, Gordy sure likes weddings (and eye contact)!
Click word CHEESE: And finally, not OK…ever.

catching up
I spent the weekend in Allendale with Taylor and my grandparents—we had a great time and Taylor is on her way to being a serious Rummikub (Rummy Cube) contender! I saw my Grandma Carol’s TWO outfit choices for the wedding (weather dependent), both are beautiful and it’s an awesome feeling to know how is excited she is.
Since the last post I’ve also made contact with two planners and will be trying to organize meetings for next week. The guest list has been printed out but I think the Tigers trumped Mark actually going through it.
THIS weekend my friend Jo Lynn, who is also planning a wedding, got us tickets to the Bridal Expo at the Palace. Hopefully we come away with some good local people/contacts to help make our weddings stellar!
Signing off for now,
Sara
