Bridal Show 2010
We love weddings. Everything about them. After the “Year of the Wedding” for us, which was 2008 (during which not only the two of us, but certain brothers, bridesmaids, groomsmen, best friends and everyone we ever met who had reached the age of 30 got married), just the word “wedding” was enough to give us both shudders and the urge to head for the hills and/or pull the covers over our heads. But as for 2010…. the burnout is over! We love the ceremonies, the parties, the friends and family, the dancing (especially Chris!), the cake, the food…. We love it!
I have to take this moment to congratulate my best friend and college roomie Brooke on her recent engagement (CONGRATS BROOKE AND WILL!!!), and most importantly her excellent taste in choosing me as a bridesmaid. 
All kidding aside, I wish she wasn’t in Dallas so I would have some sort of reasonable excuse to attend the Bridal Show Downtown at the Midland Center this Sunday, January 10th, from 1 to 6 p.m. I don’t know a whole lot about this event at the Midland Center, but I did recognize the President’s name of the Bridal Association, Gerenda Sawyer. If you haven’t heard of her, chances are you probably will. She is the principal of Fleur-de-Lis catering, a VERY talented chef, and her food speaks for itself. We’ve had the pleasure of meeting her, and sampling her cooking, at Museum luncheons and private parties, and most recently she catered the Evening With The Judges in October. She also gives cooking lessons. SO, whether or not you attend the bridal show, if you’re looking for a caterer or some cooking lessons, Gerenda is your gal. As for you Midland Brides, evidently 800 to 1,000 of you are expected at the event on Sunday. Enjoy! –Cory
