Gone are the days when you hear radio commercials touting the Bridal Extravaganza at Palmer Events Center, and the clueless bride thought that was her only resource for everything wedding.

Sweatin’ With Your Sweetheart
Need I say more? Just do it. It’s at a perfectly reasonable hour on a perfectly sunny day. See you at Town Lake!
Thursday Pre-V-Day = tons of events

More Valentine’s Day Fun
