My weekend was filled with bridal shows. I went to the one in Toronto on Saturday with my mom. What a busy day! We left town at around 9:30am and stopped at Costco for a bit. We got to the show around 1pm. The fashion show started at 2, and by the time we got there, there were already no seats left! So, we wandered around and stood to watch the fashion show. There were hundreds of exhibitors there, so it took us all afternoon to see everything. We left around 5ish. I enjoyed it. I got lots of ideas, but a lot of things weren’t really relevant to me since I am not getting married in the GTA. Got lots of free stuff though and entered into lots of contests. Here’s hoping I win something!
We stopped at Yorkdale afterwards for supper and a little shopping, and I bought 2 winter coats which were severely on sale. One is casual and one is dressy. I love them!
Yesterday, I went to another bridal show here in town with my mom and CT’s mom. It was much smaller than the Toronto one, and had local vendors, which was good. What I really wanted was some contacts for flowers and cake. I really have to get on ordering flowers soon since the wedding is 8 months away and most places say you need to order at least 6 months in advance, and apparently September is now the most popular month to get married. My mom knows the owner of a flower shop in town, so we are going to go in and meet with her sometime in the next few weeks. I guess the reason I am hesitating is I’m not set on my colour scheme. I am fairly sure I would like to go with black and medium blue though. So, I guess I just have to finalize that.
CT and I are also trying to decide what we would like to do for our honeymoon. We are thinking of a Caribbean cruise. There is one that looks really good which would be an 8 day cruise, leaving from Ft. Lauderdale, and goes to Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Antigua, British Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas. We would also like to spend a few extra days in Florida before the cruise. Neither of us have ever been to Florida before, so we would like to maybe go to Sea World, Kennedy Space Centre, Universal Studios, Bush Gardens, those sorts of things. So, that’s our idea right now. There are plenty of other options for honeymoons, so we’ll have to research and see if there are any other places we would like to go.

I'd say definitely take in the Kennedy Space Center... way cool! Also, you should try a tour of the Everglades! Alligators! :D
I second Nej's suggestions. Everglades National Park is pretty awesome and it's really not too far from Ft. Lauderdale (about 2-2.5 hrs). The tourist season is way over for southern florida during Sept, so you can get some really cheap hotels along the beach in Ft. Lauderdale.

The other cruise we are looking at would be leaving from Puerto Rico, and from what I can see online, that would be a great place to visit! It's a volcanic island and has rainforests! So, there are a couple of options.
I've also heard that the Florida Keys are really nice... dang, now I want to go on vacation! :)
