please be honest..about your experience

with bridal salons.

have u ever been to a store where they ask where u live, and double check the sheet u filled out.

and ask what u do for a living and what your parents do for a living??

Why would they ask you that??

I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to ask you personal questions like parents' occupations. Isn't that like an invasion of privacy?

My 8th grade social studies teacher did that to us and we learned that my friend's dad was in the chinese mafia. See why it's effed up??

Did they ask you these questions before you even tried on dresses or was the sales person trying to make conversation while you were trying on the dresses?

OMG - which ones!?!?!?

I would have replied with 'How is that relevant to me purchasing a wedding gown from you?'...and then I prob would have stormed out

Wow! That is crazy. I've never heard of that. I would have been so uncomfortable in those stores I would have probably left. Cant deal with the stress of rude people.

Hmm No the only thing I remember is that at Designer Loft they asked me when the wedding was, where the ceremony was and where the RH was located. Nothing too personal.

oh and they also ask if im having a big or small wedding. WTFFFFFFFF does that have ANYTHING to do with a dress??!!!!!

i understand florist ask,photogs, video ppl.. DUh they HAVe to ask
