I just got back from the bridal expo at my hall

OMG I had such a fantastic time. We are using Patken for photo and they are a house vendor and I was so excited to see them and look through the albums again. We also looked at the other vendors and everything was so nice. Ultimate class limo is a preferred vendor of my hall and I had no idea.

The food was so good and everything was so wonderful. They had the vendors in the room where our cocktail hour is going to be and i was just soaking it all up. I loved it.

Then there was a buffet in the ballroom (the room NYLISA) is going to be using and it was so lovely.
Then onto dessert in the room where my reception is and i didnt want to leave. I had such a great time. As the DJ's did their thing all I kept doing was imagining my wedding.

I just wanted to share.

All night I kept saying to Brian do you realize its a year and a half to the wedding. A year and a half we're going to be here celebrating. (Today the 13th is 6 months we are engaged and that flew by)

He just kept laughing at me and smiling at how excited I was.

Vinny was there. It was just him. But he was really nice and was chatting with us. I also brought my dad with me and was showing my dad the albums and he was like wow these are so cool. He really liked everything about Patken.

Mel,

I'm glad everything went well, Michael is such a sweetheart to deal with.

Cool.We made the album. I wasn't happy with our thank-you photo. We didn't know we were going to be so tiny.That is one thing I think the Photography place should have told us before they went ahead and made wallets of that one.
