Bright and early yesterday morning, right after catching a glimpse of Kate Middleton’s dress, I was off to Running of the Brides, a yearly tradition at Filene’s Basements around the country. Brides to be and their teams of helpers stand in line, sometimes over night (certainly those at the front of the line) in order to literally run into the bargain department store with hundreds of other brides in order to get a deal on a designer wedding dress.
Many of the “teams” played into the royal wedding theme of the day
Some of the teams had a smart strategy to advertise their needs, so trading could more easily take place
Others wanted to make sure to remind their team what they were looking for out there
And some just wanted to make sure to stand out or be able to find each other
8:00 a.m. doors open and there they go!
8:01 a.m. racks are empy!
They gather as many dresses as they can
Start trying them on in the middle of the store
And the craziness continued like this until finally some lucky girls found THE dress 
I finally got to watch some of the Royal Wedding this morning & it was beautiful. The way William looked at Kate brought tears to my eyes…
