I was really excited about being picked to be on the “ironbrides”. I was not only excited about being on a reality game show, but also getting a kick in the butt to get going on my wedding. I wasn’t even thinking or expecting to meet some new friends. The girls on the show are great. I feel like we have become like family, and not only the other brides but also the staff and hosts. All the girls are so different, but I can see why each one was picked. I am the quiet one on the show, I just watch and listen to everyone. They are all so funny, cute, and very dramatic. I guess you need a little drama to make a show worth watching.

We are all so close now, but I’m not sure if it will stay that way. I hope so, but when it comes down to it, we are all going for the same prize. When you get a bunch of women together, things tend to get dramatic and caddy. Some of the younger women can get easily persuaded by the older ones. We all need to stick together and not point fingers. We need to remember that 2009 is our year, and we should all be excited for each other and help each other. This is a great experience for all of us and I hope that in the end we all remain friends.

To the future ironbride contestants, remember to be yourself and have fun with this because it is a wonderful experience. Enjoy every minute of it!
