We'll see how it goes.

Worse comes to worst, I buy a dress for $250 and sell it on ebay for double.

***UPDATE!!***

I BOUGHT A DRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was AWESOME! If any of you are looking for a dress and have a limited budget, GO GO GO to the running of the brides. Its fun, and 90% of the dresses are BRAND NEW and $249.

I wound up with a $7,000 Romona Keveza dress for $700!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

I took some pics of it with my digital camera...but then my camera died. As soon as I get batteries I'll upload them!

******UPDATEDDDDD AGAIN!*********
Here are pics of the actual dress. I tried to download the ones of me IN them, but they were all shaky and unfocused. I have NO idea how to take a pic of myself in it! I'm going to enlist some help this weekend

Shut up Jenn. This one I took with the digital...not the disposable. so I have it here....

I have to run out now...but I am SOOOO excited.

This one was in Boston...but I think there is one coming up in March in NYC...? I saw SOOOOO many BRAND NEW Vera Wang, Reem Acra, Monique Lluhlier, Jim Hjelm dresses that it was UNREAL. and EASY to get one if you really wanted it.

I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend going.
I went in at 7:45 - doors opened at 8... (I didnt get in line at 4 am like some other crazy people), and by 9:30 I had my dress

I was a little sad not having my mom or my BM's with me (I went with a great friend from school), but it was SO worth it. I'm bringing it to Florida in a few weeks to show mah momma.

It WAS just as crazy as the friends episode! Even CRAZIER.

Oh, and I got interviewed for an upcoming show on TLC about the running of the brides. I had to sign a release form and stuff.

I'm not too thrilled about it. I look like an absolute disaster.

ETA: I paid with a check card...., but you had to pay in full.
