This Sunday my mom, sister, Grams and I attended the Bridal Show at the Overland Park Convention Center. We had so much fun!! It was unbelievable how many people and vendors where there. It's a good thing we have a long time until the wedding because it was pretty overwhelming. There were a few vendors that really stuck out, mostly a photographer named Angela Needs-Shipps. All of us fell in love with her and I knew she was the one I wanted to use. However, I had no intention of booking anything that day. We saw about half of the vendors before we sat down to watch the Bridal fashion show, which had some good ideas. Since I already know what kind of dress I want, we mostly used the time to relax before we got back to the vendors. As the show went on they had drawings for different prizes; the first one was movie tickets, second was men’s rings for three grooms who attended and third was $500 dollars to use at any of the vendors there. I have never won anything before so I didn’t think that much about it, but when they called number 16 I jumped out of my seat and screamed a little, which in turn made Andrea jump! I ran up on stage to collect my money and take pictures! After signing a release form, we finished making our rounds but I knew exactly where I wanted to use my prize money. We walked over to Angela’s booth and started working out the package details. I called Asante and he was pretty caught off guard but gave me the go ahead to book her. We are both very excited because this is the first decision we have set in place for the wedding. We will be setting up an appointment for our engagement photos once the weather starts getting better, hopefully in a month or so. Feel free to check out Angela’s website, http://www.angelaneedsshipps.com/. Next step is the event space. We are trying to go look at a few place this Thursday so we will keep everyone posted!!
