a Splendiferous Saturday

Saturday morning was different compared to all my other saturdays... because this past particular saturday, i went bridal dress shopping with my bridesmaid, my man of honour, my mom, and my mother in law!.. and went to a concert.

Saying 'yes' to my dress

it was a quiet morning of dress shopping so it was just us inside the shop. quickly found out they did not have the dress that i wanted (alfred angelo ariel style 201) because it was "outdated" ... well i wasnt about to leave the shop empty handed, so off i went picking out all the alfred angelo mermaid style gowns i liked. tried on a tiana style dress, a cinderella dress, a second ariel dress, and some other dress that was not aldred angelo. and in the end i picked out cinderella because it looked good on me.

( actually everything looked good on me :| )

at the end the seamstress asled "are you saying yes to this dress?" (LOL), i had champagne to celebrate, and we all waltzed outta there. the entire time my mom and my mom-in-law was just talking to each other about eeeverything and how they've never quite experienced something like this. Hopefully i can white wash them good.. buawahahaha! (because asian places dont do these kinda things like bringing out champagne and stuff)

"you know canadians are too friendly when..."

in the evening i went to an amaranthe concert, opening act was a fellow canadian metal band called kobra and the lotus. they were quite friendly and down to earth and just strutted out to set up equipment and talked to the few of us who set up our own line. .. in fact before 4 oclick there WAS no line.. and we were so tame that, even when elize fom amaranthe came out to get some drinks, we were all kinda like oh hi elize!! and she was so friendly and so courteous right back and allowed us to take pics with her!
but what group of fans remain tame for the wntire night right? everyone just tore that place down! fans were crowd surfing up onto stage, and these guys allowed the crowdsurfers (i'd say there were about 15 people) to stay on stage and head bang with them. ONE guy stood on top of the audience and he looked like he was just standing literally on people's heads. afterwards amaranthe brought food and good ol' molson canadian out to drink on stage and celebrate the drummer's bday.. and we even sang 'eye of the tiger' together before they finished off the show with 'hunger'
and i really enjoyed the fact they they were crazy WITH us, photobombing girls taking selfies, fist-bumping and shaking hands with the audience (i got an air fist-bump from elize cuz i was sitting and couldnt get up cuz of my broken neck, and i shook hands with the birthday boy drummer) .. it got so crazy that i pinched a nerve in my neck and now my doctor is putting me on bedrest for a week until i heal. (thank god it wasnt meningitis)

it was so fun and so amazing. we gave them such a big welcome :) i hope they definitely come back!
