It is September, the leaves are beginning to yellow, the air is cool you can smell BRIDAL SHOWS! Yes it is show season! I must say when I hear the two words “Bridal Show” I start to twitch. Let me tell you as a vendor these things are alot of work and very stressful! I feel like I am in a crowd of star struck Brides jumping up and down screaming. “Pick Me, Pick Me!” It is exhausting! So if it is tough on us, it is going to be tough on the Bride. Yes you can survive the “Bridal Show” experience, in fact you can really benefit by know exactly what to do.

Don’t be a Bridezilla!

How will others remember you on your wedding day? We live in such a me satisfying society it seems like bad behavior is just the norm anymore. Maybe I am too old school but politeness and kindness is still important to me. I had a comment from someone she said, “this day is all about the bride, who cares about anyone else…Really? I don’t know is any day really only about just one person? The statement, “It’s my life,” is true/ Yet your life does have an impact on other lives. So yes, while it may be true it is your life, it is also someone else’s life as well. What happened to being gracious? Well, I believe that rude behavior is rude behavior and it is always unacceptable. I hope that your wedding day will reflect your graciousness and hospitality. I was doing a little searching about how Bridezillas affect their guests and bridal party and I came across this article by Alison Moir Smith MA I just had to share!

Your Wedding Day, What Will You Remember Thirty Years from Now?

You know if I believed in omens (which I do not) I would have sworn the “universe” was trying to tell us something but we did not listen. I loved Sam and it did not matter, on August 9, 1981 no matter what I was going to be Mrs. Sam A. Moore and that is all that I wanted… and it is really all that I want today. Life has been full of ups and downs. It is amazing that you can love someone so much an hate someone so much all in one day. I look at Sam and see that person I married thirty years ago. He still looks the same to me. We have a wonderful daughter that is a blend of us both. I am grateful for my life. So what brought tears to my eyes thirty years ago makes us laugh.
