Bridal show...so exciting!

My twin sister called yesterday and told me that the International Bridal show is being held in Toronto this weekend, starting today. I'm going to be in Toronto anyway today, because I'm going to check out this Nursing Expo, so my sister and I are going to go to the Bridal show! I'm so excited, because I haven't really started planning yet, since the wedding is not until Aug. or Sept. of 2006, but it's going to be neat to get some ideas, and I can enter some draws to win stuff! I could even enter to win a $25,000 Toronto Star Dream Wedding, wow, wouldn't that be nice? The main thing that's been preventing me from starting to plan is lack of money. We have to start a wedding budget, but I have no idea how much I'll be making in the next year, since I'm just starting out in my career, and Andre will be in school, so I'll be the main breadwinner from now until the wedding! We don't plan to have a big wedding, but every woman dreams to have things perfect on her wedding day! I'm just excited about getting plans underway!

I also plan to be at my goal weight well before my wedding day, so I plan on being the most beautiful bride in the world! ~Sabrina

Oh, that is so awesome Sabrina!!! I wish Roger and I were at a place where we could set a specific year even, lol, but I don't see that happening until we....settle in a little bit. I am taking that first step by moving in with my sister--they live in the same town...so I can actually see him whenever I want to...(he lives to hours away). He asked me to marry him after we were together for about 1 month...and now it's been 1 1/2 years and that is all he can talk about is marrying me =)So, I know it's exciting, I wish I could go to a big bridal expo like that...I can't ever find them down here, I think there was one in Nashville last year, but I couldn't make it...

We met someone on our honeymoon who had won their honeymoon trip at that same Expo! They were thrilled. It was a cruise on a Windjammer ship (a tall, sailing ship, not a cruise ship) in the British Virgin Islands. We were on the ship with them--what a great time we had.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Well, I just got back, and the bridal show was awesome! I got some great ideas, and LOTS of freebies, such as 3 huge wedding magazines, and a wedding planner, even though it's for 2004, and some other stuff. I also filled out lots of ballots to win trips, and weekend getaways, and spa treatments, and things like that. It's so exciting to start planning my wedding! I just wish I had some money, but that will come in time. ~Sabrina
