Random Posting: Encounter With A Bachelor


Readers, forgive this post, which blatantly has nothing to do with shopping (although, one of my friends pointed out that I could try and infuse a husband-shopping angle somewhere?). I went to a wedding Saturday night, and who should be there as a guest but Brian W., current star of The Bachelorette (above, center)! My friend Jenny (above, left) and I are huge fans of the show, and have been watching every season of both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette since the first season. We love the psychos who manage to squeak through the selection process, we love the teary confessionals from the people who get kicked off, and we love counting how many times the contestants say they "feel a real connection" with the Bachelor or Bachelorette. It is an awesome show, and if you are not watching it, you should be. Anyway, when we found out Brian W. was at the wedding reception, we were pretty much giddy with excitement. We are both married, by the way, so our obsession was not romantic in nature. We were just really excited to get to see someone from the show in person, and decided we had to get a picture with him. We were a little embarrassed to ask him, but after relentless teasing from our other friends, we approached him. He was SO nice and obliging, and not only took a picture with us (see above), but talked to us a little bit about the selection process and inner workings of the show. I'm definitely rooting for him to be picked by Deanna (the current Bachelorette). Okay, I promise the next post will be about shopping!!
