Just after last year’s bridal show at City Club in River Ranch, I wrote a post with a list of four things that I would change about the following year. I promised myself I would:

  • Wear COMFORTABLE shoes….I’m not exactly sure what I was thinking when I decided to wear 4 inch stillettos with a square toe.
  • Clone myself. I wished I would have had two of me…even if it was in the form of an assistant. 🙂 There was simply no way to talk to everyone for as long as I would have liked.
  • Listen more. When I get nervous, I talk more instead of less. So in the future, I promised myself to practice being a better listener!
  • Have confidence. I was nervous. Ridiculously nervous. But in the end, everything turned out ok. I didn’t pass out, and I met so many wonderful people!

So this year, I bought my first pair of Tory Burch shoes; I’ll keep you posted on how comfortable they are. 🙂

I cannot physically clone myself, but I tell you what! Amelia is the closest thing to it. We think SO much alike and after shooting weddings together for the past 7 months, it’s like we share a brain.

Thankfully, Amelia will be with me this year…she keeps me sane. 🙂

Duct tape…..for reminding me to talk less and listen more:

And as for as the nervousness, I’ll just have to trust that I’ll be ok again this year.

If you are a BRIDE, a GROOM, or a family member of either, MARK YOUR CALENDARS and join us for the bridal show!!!

Last year, it was completely packed so be sure to bring comfortable shoes and arrive early! 🙂 Amelia and I will be there, so be sure to stop by our booth!

Have a wonderful day and if you’d like, feel free to join me on Facebook!
