They are often longtime campaigns that require detailed planning, incisive knowledge of both friends and enemies, and casualties by the roadside. We are speaking of course, of weddings. And if love is a battlefield, then central command headquarters is the 23rd Biannual Bridal Extravaganza Show.
Organizers promise a showcase for thousands of squealing future brides, their mothers/bridesmaids, and the occasional bridegroom/hostage. Everything from the garter to the getaway car will be on display as more than 600 vendors represent resorts, reception halls, dress and tux makers, caterers, DJs, photographers, and everything else needed for the big day.
Fashion shows and honeymoon prize giveaways round out the event, which hopefully will not degenerate into a bridezilla throw-down. 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The George R. Brown Convention Center, 1001 Avenida de las Americas. For information, call 281-340-7777 or visit www.bridalextravaganzashow.com. $10.
Sat., Jan. 5, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sun., Jan. 6, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., 2008
