THE BRIDAL EXPO
Karena and I went to a bridal expo yesterday at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. And let me tell you, it was so unorganized. First, the parking situation was out of control because there was also a Renaissance Faire going on just next to the Queen Mary. We ended having to park in Downtown Long Beach and catch a bus over to the Queen Mary.
And once we got there, we were sadly disappointed to not see any vendors for cakes. Since we already have a photographer and Karena pretty much knows what kind of gown and bridesmaid dresses she wants, all we were really looking for were cakes. And I, of course, came with my stomach ready to eat all different kinds of cakes. But there were none to be had.
The rest of the expo was pretty disappointing too. But we did have a pseudo-celebrity sighting there: Sean from Survivor:Marquesas. That was pretty cool since we were big fans of this last Survivor, we felt like we were seeing an old friend.
Anyway, at the end, they were raffling off a bunch of gifts, but the winners had to be present. Since a bunch of people had already left and they weren't checking out the IDs of the winners, I had a great idea. I leaned over and told Karena, "The next time they announce a Chinese name and nobody claims it, we should just yell, "Yeah!!! Right here!" and go claim the prize. It was a perfect plan ... too bad we were both too honest (and chicken) to actually do it.
