On Saturday, Lauren and I went to the KC Wedding Expo. It was at the Overland Park Convention Center, and it was basically a bunch of area vendors advertising their services. There was everything from caterers to reception venues to travel agencies. We got to try quite a few bakeries' wedding cakes. Some of them were pretty good (Caren's Cakes was probably my favorite) and some were not so good (*cough*Piropos*cough*). I also got some one-on-one time talking with a guy from Men's Warehouse as there weren't exactly a lot of guys attending. I think I'll be having the groomsmen and myself (possibly all the fathers, too) get their tuxes from there.
We also got to talk with a few wedding photographers. I think it was good that both Lauren and I were looking together because we would both notice things the other wouldn't notice about each photographer that we didn't like. Finally, we found one we think we're gonna go with: Beau Vaughn Photography.
We also saw this really neat new trend that I guess a lot of weddings are doing now: photo booths. We don't need it, and it doesn't really fit into our budget... But I still think it would be amusing to end up with a couple hundred pictures of your drunk friends/family trying to figure out where they're supposed to look.
Overall, the expo was fun - albeit a little overwhelming towards the end and more and more women kept pouring in. I'm glad we went, but I don't know if I'll go back next year like some of the women in the elevator who talked about going every year!
* Note: We ended up not going with Beau Vaughn Photography.

The Little Theater
We got the reception venue we wanted! We didn't think we would know until June, but we found out we can go ahead and reserve it. Yay. We are both very happy that we get to have the reception where we wanted it. Lauren had wanted it there for many years and is happy her wedding dreams are coming true.
