Tomorrow Mrs. Juicebox and I are going with soon to be Mrs. LoveTheUphills to Austin's Bridal EXTRAVAGANZA (read in deep, echoing voice). I avoided this event like the plague when I was planning my own wedding because 1) I wouldn't be caught dead at an event that calls itself an "EXTRAVAGANZA", and 2) I knew there was no way I could be in a place with that many psychotic brides-to-be and everyone walk out alive. However, this trip is for a friend, so I'm willing to lay aside a few personal convictions for a while.
I'm actually looking forward to it a little because I've already planned and had my wedding and can now gaze mockingly on all the crazy girls who are frantically trying to figure out what color the napkin ring holders are going to be. This is why I went with mass quantities of disposable napkins. From Sam's. It was for my sanity, and it was worth every disapproving look that was cast my way.
Hopefully the EXTRAVAGANZA should be fun. And if it's not, at least I will have spent the afternoon with some good friends. And maybe taken out a b*tchy bride or two. If I'm lucky.

Haha. It wasn't so bad. I'm just sad we missed the "fashion show" portion.
The way I see it is this: This is my only chance to ever go to something called a "bridal extravaganza" (as a bride anyway). I didn't think I'd miss walking at my college graduation, but then later I totally regretted it. This is not even close to the same thing, but I guess my point is that you only do it once, so you might as well do it all the way, even if the process is slightly psychotic and seems way stupid.

I found out today that Jose's TV was also at the Bridal Extravaganza. No, seriously. Let me explain how.
So apparently, one of Jose's coworkers is involved in a side business involving videography in some way, but doesn't have a crisp TV to haul around. Jose stayed out all night for black friday, and bought one of those widescreen LCD HDTV monstrosities that tv people love (actually, I'm starting to grow fond of it as well). Jose's coworker offered him a large sum of money to rent the TV for a weekend. So somewhere at the "Extravanganza!" Jose's poor tv was tasked with the duty of spotlighting wedding videography to countless brides and their hapless friends.
So perhaps you saw it... Weird, right? I'll never look at his tv the same again.
