On the Cheap

HOPE IT DOESN'T RAIN




With the average cost of a wedding topping out at slightly more than $28,000 it's nice to know that not everyone is falling for the hype. There are plenty of folks out there with an entrepreneurial spirit willing to think out of the box...or, in this case, off the roll.And maybe it's merely proof that the internet has spawned websites for just about everything that we find there's one called cheap-chic-weddings. com which provides options of fashion for those fiscally challenged or just unwilling to pay exorbitant prices in an era where the chances are 50/50 at best.
Galit Zeiermann is one such individual. Flushed with excitement, she accepted the cheap-yet-chic challenge offered by the website and produced this lovely wedding gown which won her first place in the annual "Toilet Paper Wedding Dress" contest, sponsored for the 6th time. For her efforts at wiping out the competition, the winner gets $1,000 (which should enable her to buy something a bit less water-resistant. "But," I hear you say, "will she actually wear this on her wedding day"?
I'm uncertain, but the Charmin' look she's created (complete with paper bird on her shoulder) will make a real hit with her brawny lad if she does.
Enough already...
