I love my mom.....

With Mother's Day right around the corner I thought I would post this in honor of mothers all around the world. I bet this would translate into any language and be just as funny.



I think everyone should call their mom's right now and tell them thanks for everything they do, have done, and will do.

I don't think folks visit blog sites to hear about business but just in case you do.... thanks to everyone that came by our booth this weekend. Thanks to Jodie over at the Ameristar Casino for putting on a great bridal show in conjunction with Saint Louis Best Bridal. They really make you feel welcome, well... except for the security guard that confiscates every one's drivers license when you arrive. Not such a bid deal when you get there but when you have 100 or so vendors leaving at the same time... giant pain in the keaster. I am always impressed with the staff at Best Bridal. They truly go the extra mile for both the brides and the vendors.
If you need a really elegant ballroom with fantastic food and great service for your reception, or any event really... call Jodie Parker. She is the Event Meeting Manager and can be reached at 636-940-4384. I highly recommend them.


We are really looking forward to meeting with
those of you that book a consultation with us
during the show. For any of you that are still
looking, give us a call so we can talk about how
we can help you have a remarkable wedding day. I hope that we hear from you soon. We are on the verge of booking that last remaining open dates that we have in 2009 but at least call to see if we have your date available. It will only hurt a little bit, I promise.

For any of you blushing brides that wanted to attend and couldn't, please come visit us at the 4th Annual St. Louis' Best Bridal Cake Dive on June 7th at Chesterfield Mall. It should be a really messy time. There is nothing better than seeing brides have a giant throw down in the middle of 50 pounds of cake icing... but enough about my plans for this weekend. Seriously, come by and say hello even if you already have your photographer, heck... even if you are already married. We just like to visit with people and talk weddings.

MIRAGE PHOTO is doing our own stimulus package..... ONE STINKING PENNY AT A TIME!! In a desperate attempt to rid the office of unwanted supplies, we managed to track down some very attractive yet quite obsolete stamps. Realizing that folks would not catch our blatant attempt at mail fraud, we decided to pre-stamp our return envelopes with these relics. Low and behold, our first bride we attempt this little scheme on catches us red handed and was forced to lay down the law. It seemed only fair that we allowed them to short their wedding deposit check by a penny in an attempt to hide our shame. Those of us at Mirage Photo hope that you will put that copper coin to good use. Tip a DJ, make a wish in a passing well, lay it on a railroad track and see what cool shape it becomes after a thousand tons of American Metal run it over. Use it to penny a door shut and lock a roommate in a dorm room for hours until maintenance can come and free them. Or do like I do, toss it onto the center console of your car where it can turn green and sticky from sitting in the sludge from spilled beverages. I am truly glad that we could do our part to turn this economy back around. You can't tax us for $798 Billion without first stealing a penny.

Not quite sure what will happen when postage goes up to 44 cents later this year. I suppose there will be a lot of $399.96 deposit checks sitting around because heaven knows, I won't be smart enough to get to the post office in time.
