'Filene's Basement annual wedding gown sale to draw thousands of brides'

My co-worker brought me the paper this morning and the headline of the article read, 'Nearlyweds will race for the lace'.

I am in the bottom right hand corner with a ponytail. Ive lost about 10lbs since then! haha

Here is the article:

It was nuts last year! I was second in line, behind that group you see in the picture. They flew in from Washington state!!! We joined eachother and became a team and traded our dresses with eachother.

I bought a Stephen Yearick dress that day, though I ended up buying another dress at Kleinfelds later. I still have the Yearick dress. It hangs over my closet door and its gorgeous!

Yep! I was there for like 4 hours trying on dresses! They were all so small though, even though they said size 10, they fit like a 6. It was something I will never forget!

It was the first place I looked for a dress, so I really didnt know what I wanted. It was a gorgeous dress, but it had a lot of beading and it was a fuller style and ivory. So, I later realized I wanted a trumpet style with no beading and diamond white. hahaha, oh well! It has a hole in it too from all the craziness, but on the seam, so it can easily be fixed.
