BIG MESS NO DRESS

So an old friend my high school is getting married soon and unfortunatley has a big problem with the brial shop she purchased her dress from....She purchased a dress - and then the bridal shop filed Chapter 11 (bankruptcy) & now she is left without a dress, and they're still in business! It seems to me that the Bridal Shop is one big scam because they have done things like this before.. The shop is called Calvary Bridal House and is located in Millburn, NJ....

So brides beware!!!! Here is a little bit of her story from a local Newspaper and a little about the Bridal House and their situation.

I know I would be MAD as anything if this happened to me!! She deserves to at least get her money back or receive the dress she has ordered - I mean that's only fair.... I did some research myself on this Calvary and it seems like this isn't the 1st time something like this has happened!!! They have taken brides money before, made up stories and then the girls don't get their dresses.. Seems like one BIG scam to me!!!!!

Wearing Your Wedding Dress... After The Wedding!!

I'm not married - I'm not even engaged! BUT, I was thinking, when I do to get married I'd be really sad to only be able to wear my wedding dress once. Ya know - I mean you spend all that money on it - shouldn't you get to wear it again?

On Easter my brother and his bride-to-be were up from Maryland! We were talking about wedding details, the reception, and the honeymoon. This sparked a converstaion about wearing your wedding dress again.

Suppossedly the new rage in photography is called "Trash the Dress." I think this is a horrible idea!! Why would anyone want to trash their wedding dress? {Unless the marriage didn't work out :(

They say brides want to do this to add something unconventional to their Wedding Albums!! I don't know about that... If you don't want to save your dress for the daughter you may have, isn't there something better you could do besides "trash the dress?" I mean trashing the dress can't be a good sign of longevity of the marriage.

This shot was taken by a photographer named John Michael Cooper, who coined the phrase Trash the Dress....

It defintely seems fun to trash a dress.. I just wouldn't want to trash my own!!

I think I have a better idea.. (Sorry, I can't take credit for this idea, but it's something that looks like tons of fun, you get to wear your dress again, and you don't have to trash it..)

After I get married I want to have a GIRLS PARTY, (as seen on "FRIENDS") with just my closest friends (because if I invited other people they might think i was crazy, LOL). At this party everyone gets to wear thier weding dress 1 last time.. Why spend all the money and not get to wear your dress again, right...

As I continue to write about this I'm starting to wonder if this idea is too crazy or just too funny.. IDK!! But hey, it looks like lots of fun:

So what would you rather do PARTY

OR TRASH?
