KC Wedding Expo (There were like 5 guys there.)

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.
