To go right along with the theme of the month (being LOOOOVE, not just candy), yesterday I went to a Bridal Fair at the Sandy Expo Center with my friend Audrey - even though neither of us is engaged, we were curious about it. It was actually really fun! A little awkward, because all the people at the booths kept asking us if one of us was engaged, and when our "big day" was. Neither Audrey or I had it in us to make up some giant story about being engaged (I couldn't have done it with a straight face anyway), so we just went from booth to booth getting free stuff and giggling at all the young brides dragging around pained-looking grooms, and oooohh-ing and aahhhh-ing at the cakes and dresses and decorations. There was also a fashion show, which proved to be really entertaining.
The flower girls were really cute, too:
The grooms and groomsmen were funny, dancing around the stage:
They had some really fun bridesmaid dresses and colors:
It was just really fun to watch!
I was so overwhelmed just looking at all the booths with china, flowers, photographers, cakes, catering, invitations and announcements, dresses & tuxedos, jewelry, and decorations, that I decided that when I get married, I'm eloping. That's just WAAAAAYYYY too much to do. But it's fun to look at! :)

I've always wondered what those fair's are like. Sweet, now it's almost like I virtually went with you... except I didn't get any free stuff. What kind of free stuff do they give you? Did you get to taste test wedding cakes?
1) it IS a sickness-- those candy conversation hearts are kinda gross, haha.
2) the bridal fair: fascinating. Weddings are no doubt big business in Utah, with plenty of competition... interesting way to do some marketing... at a trade show. Do they have "wedding" trade shows anywhere else in the world?!
Those pictures are really fun! I am jealous of your fun experience! And I definitely vote FOR the elopment (as long as we all get to throw you a HUGE party on your return).
K first of all... I am SO with you on the candy hearts thing. I ADORE them! Definitely my favorite thing about Valentines day. Second, I love bridal fairs! And you got to see a fashion show! How superb! I went with all my sisters when Sharon and Charlotte were engaged. They both won some pretty cool things like free lazer hair removal and time shares. I guess it's worth it to get married?
Best comment ever. "They both won some pretty cool things like free lazer hair removal and time shares. I guess it's worth it to get married?" Hahaha... Kaitlin you are awesome.
1. You BETTER NOT elope!! I want to be there!
2. Seriously, I've consumed more chocolate in the last 2 weeks than should be FDIC approved. These candy-filled holidays are killing me.
3. I think it's so awesome you went to a bridal fair. I went to one with my mom (no way Jared would've gone with me) and there was a lot of cool free stuff. Did you get a coupon for an up-do?? Go get your hair done :)
4. Love you, you are hilarious!
