So in November I got an email from the Beach Club letting me know that they would be hosting a Bridal Show there on Jan 7th. I was so thrilled because 1. it would be a great time to take some of my bridesmaids to see the venue, and 2. it would allow me to meet with certain vendors that we were still looking for. 3 of my bridesmaids went with me Britney, Jamie, and Rosie, and of course my MOH my sister Sarah, and my mother! I was so excited as we pulled up, I wanted to race to get in line to get through the door and show them the ballroom we had picked out before we did anything! Once we got through the door they were handing out champagne and I was given my bag of goodies and told to go fill out some paperwork. It was so overwhelming at first when we walked in because there is so much to look at and everything is just gorgeous! I think we got caught up like 3 or 4 times looking at stuff before we even made it to our ballroom. Britney's boyfriends mom (Sharon) acutally works at the Beach Club and was such a sweetheart! She was like having our own little personal tour guide. She was introducing me to all these vendors, telling me that I needed to go taste these cakes, and these chocolates, and of course came to us first when drinks were about to come out! "Hey stay right here cosmos are about to come out, i'll tell them to come straight to you", I like the sound of that! We were all like kids in a toy store tasting all kinds of cakes from different vendors, trying favor gifts, cookies, popcorn, more drinks, and the Beach Club even passed around some of the appertizers they serve at their weddings. I was extremely excited to try some of their food because Mike and I keep hearing about how amazing their food is! And the apps definitely did not disappoint! I can't wait to go for our tasting! I don't know how we will choose, they have such a huge menu and if everything taste as good as the apps were going to be in trouble! But back to the bridal show, I ended up coming across a videographer that I hadn't seen or heard of before while we were there and I am so happy I stumbled across them! I already was talking with another videographer who was also there, but when I saw Matt's work I fell in love, I liked it so much more then who I had orginally planned to go with. I also found our DJ who is so entergetic and i'm sure will put on a good show and get people on their feet and dancing. This was one of the people that Sharon introduced me to and thank god she did, when Michael and I met with him it was like anything we have ever heard before. He actually puts you in the studio with him after discussing and feeling out what you like and gives you a mini concert/show of what your day will be like. He has such a great personality too! I also found the people who will be doing our cake! I had already contacted these people as well as a couple others that were there so getting to see their work in person and taste their most popular flavors made the decision so much easier! Mike and I had already been to one cake tasting and we weren't impressed. We also found the place that we will be having our rehersal dinner at. It's a resturant called Annies in Kent Island and they were there giving out samples of their cream of crab soup, to die for by the way! I already had my florist contracted and she was there, so it was nice that the girls got to meet her and see some of her work. It was such a great day that i'll remember forever! This whole process seems to be flying by, and while I can't wait for my wedding and to marry Michael at the same time I wish it would slow down. I love doing this kind of stuff and meeting with vendors! I espeically love spending the time and doing these things with the people that are closest to me. It's definitely a day I will cherish forever and never forget!
