Maybe I am too much of a hopeless romantic, but I believe every week should start off with a whole lot of love. After the show last night, Michelle and I walked past Pravda Studios where a wedding had just taken place. Friends of mine know that I am obsessed with weddings. Dear friends of mine will tell you that I have been waiting for the chance to check out that venue space for a very long time. Throughout the summer, I would sit at Auto Battery, one arm up with my hand rested underneath my chin looking hopelessly up at the venue space decorated in twinkling lights and hearing the bass of the DJ. It was so sad; it was like Cinderella waiting to be invited to someone else’s wedding! I wanted so badly to see the space, but I could never muster up the courage to just ask.
Well, I’m not sure what happened last night – maybe it was the high after the Andy Grammer show – but I decided to take that chance. Twinkling lights in the window and paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling of Pravda Studios? THE TIME IS NOW. I dragged Michelle over there with me where a few straggling guests were hanging outside and immediately went for it.
“Was there just a wedding up there?”
“How was it?!”
“Did you have fun?”
“Oh my gosh, it must have been beautiful!”
“Cute Tory Burch flats!”
[And that...is how it is done. The key is to just keep talking.]
“I have always ALWAYS wanted to see that space up there. Do you think it would be alright if you gave us a tour?”
I should have taken a picture, but I was so caught off guard by my own bold move that I became flustered and under the spell of the breathtaking venue. This is the best picture I could find to describe the atmosphere inside:
Congratulations to the happy couple that I never met!
And also, we haven’t had a wedding related post in awhile so the other night while taking a break from work, I totally spent part of my day watching wedding short films from Moetic continuously. Ugh. I love love.
