Monique Lhuillier and a "Weddebrity"

So, there we were, packed onto benches at Eyebeam Atelier on a miserable rainy day waiting for the Monique Lhuillier show to start. I am grumpy and Persephone is tired and we are both so hungry. All I could think was, "This had better be good." To amuse myself, I decided to take pictures of all the people wearing black sitting on benches and trying to look elegant, but having a hard time since they were, well, on benches.

Then I got a sharp elbow in the ribs from Persephone as she hissed in my ear, "Isn't that guy the famous wedding planner?" Clueless, I asked her who she was talking about. She pointed him out and, as cracked out as we were, we couldn't remember his name, so Persephone asked the woman to her left and she a little (a lot) snobbily replied, "Um, Colin Cowie."

Well, how about that? He was sitting right across from me.

Then the lights went down and the show began, and it was definitely worth it (check out my post at Wedding Aces to see more). It wasn't until later when I was looking through the images magnified that I saw Colin Cowie again and other "weddebrities" like Sylvia Weinstock, the owners of Kleinfeld, Randy from Say Yes to the Dress, and Mark Ingram everywhere. Funny. I didn't notice them the whole time we were at market.

See? Here is Colin Cowie looking pensive as he contemplates a gown at Monique Lhuillier (it's kind of a dim pic, but he is there on the left).

All images by me!
