Linda knew that Oak Lawn had a lot to offer wedding shoppers and Bruce found out the hard way. Bridal shows are held throughout the year at the Martinique and the Lexington House and at the Oak Lawn Hilton. The happy couple left the Lexington House with Linda promising to return for the show and Bruce hoping that there is a football game on that day. The Oak Lawn Hilton also regularly hosts bridal shows featuring exclusives for the bride in a runaway fashion show. Brides may register for door prizes, honeymoon packages, and sample wedding cakes, in preparation for the big day.
Free tickets are usually available with advance registration.
The next bridal show at the Hilton is January 16, 2001. Again, Linda promised to return for the show while Bruce pretended to answer his pager. Linda at one point accused Bruce of paging himself. According to Linda, no wedding would be complete without lovely flowers. So, of course, her next idea of the trip was to stop at some flower shops.
