$249 Sale

Well Saturday was quite the morning. Sarah and I went to the Minneapolis convention center for the $249 Wedding Gown Sale. We arrived around 8:30am and it started at 10:00. There were already quite a few people in line so we sat down and chatted for an hour and a half waiting for the chaos. Both of us were concerned about the crazy bridezilla fighting for dresses, but everyone was really nice which was great. We ending up being the first group of people allow in (only 35 brides were allowed at a time). We rushed to the racks that contained my sizes and started picking out dresses to try on. We were told we could only take 5 dresses at a time to the dressing area. It didn’t take us long to find enough to try on. We went to the dress area. It was not individual dressing rooms but a large curtained off area for everyone to change. There were several clothing racks for you to hang the dresses on and then 5 large mirrors in the middle.
Thank goodness I had Sarah with me!! She helped me get the dresses on (they are pretty heavy!) She also ran back to the floor to pick out more dresses after I had tried on all of mine. There were a few really nice dresses and……I bought one!!!!
Yep after all this stress and searching I bought a dress off the rack for $249 and it is in my possession. I did have to pay $9 for the garnet bag so the total was $258.
Even when I bought the dress I was still stressing out about it. I even told Sarah “well if I change my mind I can always sell it on ebay.” But after 24 hours I am really becoming happy with my choice. It is a really beautiful dress (they almost all are). Since I have gone to several places to try on dresses I knew what styles I likes which help me choose more quickly. I will not have to wait to order it, now I can get it to an alterations shop soon!
Sarah took a few pics for me when we were waiting in line. I am so glad that she came with me!! We had a great time and she was so helpful.




Thats me in the pink sitting in line!
