Yesterday I was given the opportunity of a lifetime! The
Muscatine Journal’s very own, Jaime Weikert, invited me to Muscatine’s first
ever-bridal expo.
The bridal expo filled the Clarion with amazing decorations
and wonderful stations where you could learn about new and old traditions that
could make a bride’s wedding special. This included the Flower Shop, who is now
renting out tuxedos, and Origami Owl, which makes special lockets that you can
put charms in for you wedding party, or even yourself.
My favorite part of the whole day was emceeing the fashion
show with Isabella Blaine, Miss Muscatine 2013. We had the opportunity to talk
about the great volunteers who dedicated two whole days to the fashion show and
gave out discounts to their stores. Not only that, but we got to see beautiful
wedding dresses. We saw everything from a hot pink wedding dress to a seafoam
green bridesmaids dress to pink tuxedos. The models were amazing and they all
looked beautiful and handsome.
I am so happy to say that I got this opportunity, and I know
that I defiantly improved on public speaking over that span of time.
