Quick! Before you do, go to the library and check out a copy of Denise and Alan Fields' "Bridal Bargains." The first chapter is devoted to how not to get intimidated or ripped off by bridal salons and how to save money on your dress. You never know - you might find The Dress at the first place you go! I have a dress-shopping appointment Sunday, and I'm speed-reading that chapter....
Have fun!
