♥ Bridal Shows: The real horror
In all honesty, it wasn't that bad. I left with a huge bag of information, found the people I want to do my cake(CHEESECAKE), and talked with the people who have my personal #1 reception site.
HOWEVER.
I was harassed for information thousands of times. This gave way for my number one tip for Bridal Shows:
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION.
Ok, you can, if you don't mind the phone calls and letters and post cards and spammers and ..UGHHHHHHHHHH. Better off just saying no thank you to whatever they are suggesting at the time, and walk away. I've recieved a phone call from one Bridal shop, 3 from David's bridal, 2 postcards and a note from a videographer(that I didn't really care for)... BUT my favorite??
I got an UNSOLICITED(READ: I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS) letter from a GYM offering to get me in shape for the Big Day.
1, Someone that I had given my information to has obviously sold it, and I'm not happy.
2, Why would a gym do that?! I understand that it probably helps draw some women in, b ut it really turns me off. :( I think I look just fine, thank you, so screw you and your Gym.
3, I really don't need that. I'm not-so-fantastically underweight. Before if any of you say anything, it is NOT because I have some sort of Eating Disorder, it is because I'm blessed/cursed with this pesky inability to gain weight.
I enjoyed the free tastings, the information, and that's about it. I didn't enjoy everyone pushing me to buy something RIGHTNOW and the lack of space to move around.
But hey, I got a rose, 2 packs of gum, 3 bites of cake, and a gihugic bag full of ads...
Well, life doesn't suck too much now does it?
t-18 months and Counting,
