All the oldies out there will know the song that the title refers to is by Jagged Edge:
“Meet me at the alter in your white dress
We ain't gettin no younger we might as well do it
Been feelin' you all the while girl and I must confess
Lets get married”
“Meet me at the alter in your white dress
We ain't gettin no younger we might as well do it
Been feelin' you all the while girl and I must confess
Lets get married”

Anyway, the reason for this title is that this past weekend was Let’s Get Married’s Grand Salon Marions-Nous exposition at Place Bonaventure. http://www.marionsnous.ca/. It’s a huge hall where hundreds of different companies set up their kiosks to display what they can offer you for your wedding day.
My maid of honor (MOH), my best man and our flower girl’s mom joined us when we went already last year, so were not going to go again this year. However, we got free tickets so decided to go again. Free is a very uncommon thing when it comes to weddings! This time around, it was my MOH, best man, Pat and myself off to check out the show. He actually survived! I guess I mentally prepared him.
The salon is a great start for brides to get ideas from. There’s a fashion show of wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, tuxedos, suits... It’s also a super crowded event, with tons of people so it’s recommended that you wear a light coat, comfortable shoes, and bring snacks and water. Oh, and your fiancé - he’ll come in handy when the bags get too heavy. And he’ll be helpful when speaking to vendors, too, of course. Others have also suggested that you create a separate email address for signing up to contests and even making labels with your name and contact info so that you don’t have to write it out each time you enter your names in a draw.
The best part is really all the freebies or “swag”. You get free magazines, tote bags and other goodies. I think it’s worth it to go just to get the free wedding magazines, considering if you were to buy them at a bookstore, they are well over the ticket price of the salon. The event can be very overwhelming though, especially if you are already stressed about planning!

Any body out there have other tips for future brides and grooms attending these salons? m.
