I'm famous.

Yesterday afternoon, I was working away, doing some diagrams for the upcoming weddings, when my boss came to my desk.

How would you like to be on Channel 13 tomorrow morning? They are doing a piece on the wedding show, and wanted to know if you'd like to represent the hotel.

(Insert nervousness now)

How do you say no to your boss? How do you say no to a TV debut? After all, I did have dreams of being an anchor at one time...


Last night was spent programming my DVR, picking out my outfit and tossing and turning all night. Finally, I arrived at Channel 13 around 8 am this morning, ready to put my best foot forward. (Still incredibly nervous)

Luckily, the amazing Sandy Davis from Your Wedding Iowa was there to represent the Bridal Show, and has done this many times in years past. She's the nicest woman (reminds me a lot of my adorable mother) and would ease anyone's nerves.

And, Dan Winter (who just had his own wedding reception at the Sheraton last June) the Channel 13 anchor, couldn't have been easier to talk to. What a good guy. I guess I won't hold it against him that he is a Cyclone...

Without much instruction, there we were, lipstick on, microphones tested, smiles ready. Dan carried the conversation and asked Sandy and I questions throughout the interview. Overall, it couldn't have gone better. Our 2 minute feature was quick and painless...(Why was I so nervous again?) And, we got our message across...

Bridal Show - Sheraton West Des Moines
Sunday, September 12th - 11:00 am to 3:00 pm
Inspiration. Vendors. Prizes. Fun.

I walked outside the studio and laughed a bit to myself for being worked up in the first place. Our 2 minute feature had come and gone so quickly, there was nothing to worry about.

"So, are you up for it again in January?" Sandy asked....

And that's when the nerves started again....
