  From the point of view of Expo!'s 39 year old president, Bill Brennan, the exclamation points are more than warranted: brides-to-be are huge spenders, and every year they seem to shell out more for their dream ceremony/dress/reception/honeymoon.
  
  In Chicago, the average nuptial celebration cost "$26,732, up about 17 percent over the last five years," said Brennan, a lanky guy with a huge smile, who turned out to be a natural master of ceremonies during the day's fashion shows.

  This is a castle full of romance, and it's a great place to have a wedding expo," said Bill Brennan, president of the bridal shows.
  ...
  Brennan believes bridal shows harbor a misnomer-people believe they are only for the bride.But for the grooms, who typically take care of travel and transportation plans, the expo had plenty of vendors, including local businesses like Cary Travel Express.
  
  "It's basically a one-stop shopping environment," Brennan said.
  ...
  While the evening seemed to run smoothly for all parties involved, Brennan said the challenges always come before the attendees arrive.
  
  "We want to spread out the categories of business," he said."We don't want businesses on tope of one another."
  
  Brennan hopes the brides-to-be found what they were looking for, or at least walked away with a lot of information and some good ideas.
  
  "The brides that are here today are on a mission and a deadline," he said."Their mission is to use the best vendor for their wedding, and most are 12 months out from their wedding."
  
  As for the service to the brides, in search of that perfect vendor, Brennan, who was an event party planner for eight years before coming to work with the Bridal Expo, suggest booking early.He cites that there are 60 to 70,000 couples in the metropolitan Chicaoland area looking for vendors to use for their wedding, so start early before your wedding date is taken.

  "The companies who exhibit at our events often offer show specials and other discounts if brides-to-be book within a certain time frame following the show," said Brennan.

  Brennan said Bridal Expo has grown in the last 10 years from a small, intimate affair to a major convention, introducing brides and grooms to the best bridal merchants in the Chicago and Milwaukee areas.
  
  "They feel unique and special because of being catered to,"Brennan said."A bride can go online, and can look at a beautiful cake, but at the Bridal Expo, she can taste them."Exhibitors have services for small weddings, small budgets and large budgets," he said.Brennan said brides can bring their families, friends, and wedding parties to the show.And don't forget the groom."You'll appreciate their help in making your important bridal buying decisions," he said.He also suggested brides bring their own preprinted address labels for entering contests.
  
  "Otherwise, the brides will get writers cram filling out so many contest form," he said, adding that other tips to make the most out of the show are available on the show's Web site, www.bridalexpochicago.com, which also is where brides can register until Nov. 3 for two free tickets.
