Bridal Show

Let me tell all the guys out there one thing. Bridal Shows were okay for about the first forty five minuets to an hour. I will say that it is good to go to one so you can get some ideas about stuff but after one, your duty is satisfied and you need not go to anymore. Sampling cake though is a plus and it doesnt look as big from when you walk in but realize one thing, you are going to stop at every booth, no matter what. Every one.

Fret not my fellow masculines, you will not be the only ones. I guarantee you will see someone you know there. There even was a Andy Parker sighting and he looked as if he was getting annoyed at the amount of people that were giving him the "I know you from the TV" and pointing in his direction. If you can avoid dropping what you are doing and make sure you make it to every walkway show, it could feasible be done in about an hour and a half. BUT, the thing is, there is a show every hour on the hour that everyone drops what they are doing to watch women walk around in dresses and dudes walk around in tuxes (one middle aged man acting kind of creepish) and eventually they repeat the dresses and tuxes.

I recommend any booth sampling their cake, and stopping at every limo service booth that is there (Hummzilla and the Kodiak thats all I'll say). Also men, stop by the tux rental place (usually Tuxedo Junction) , you can win free stuff for your groomsmen and they have some pretty good deals, even though the quality of Mens Wearhouse is superior.

There is a lot to bypass as well. The Photobooths are all the same, and the DJs that are there borderline on the annoying side (Yes you in the main lobby as you walk in, you suck) but there is a bar as soon as you walk in and if your feeling a little tropical, there is a smoothie stand as well. The concession stand that is there is pretty self explanatory. Expect to pay Ralph Wilson Stadium type prices for things that are mediocre at best.

Wear. Comfortable. Shoes.

All-in-all it wasn't a disaster, actually pretty informative and you can really grasp on what people are selling and what kind of prices you can expect to pay. But men, go to one and done. There is no need to go to more. 85% of the paperwork gets thrown away as soon as you get home anyways.

  1. I like the part where they schedule the bridal show during NFL playoff games. That's the best.
