For those who havent gotten thier dress yet

Thought I'd share what my friend just emailed me

City: The running of the brides

They call it 'the running of the brides.' The annual bargain wedding gown event -- where designer gowns go for $249-$699 -- will be happening Friday at Filene's Basement in Union Square (4 Union Square South, 212-358-0169, filenesbasement.com). The doors open at 8 a.m. but the lines outside start forming long before then. On this day, shopping is a sport. Many brides-to-be show up with an entourage of helpers to grab armfuls of gowns as quickly as possible for trying on or trading up with others.

I heard it gets INSANE there.... most people camp out overnight on the line to get in the doors first. They grab up all the dresses and then trade other brides for the right sizes!
