(From the FW)
So I bought a wedding dress. I'm telling you this because I wanted to let you know about this great organization called Brides Against Breast Cancer. They creatively raise money to help grant wishes to women who are terminally ill with breast cancer. Among other things, they accept donated gowns, either worn previously or given by designers/boutiques, and sell them at large events across the country. So I wanted to start looking for a dress because they had an event in Dallas. The best part is, 100% of the proceeds go to making a wish, as far as I understand.
Sadly, I did not find my dress at this event... not because they didn't have beautiful, quality gowns, but because I'm picky. I do hope to eventually donate my gown to the organization. And there are other ways to support them, including Quilters Against Breast Cancer, Pink Envelope showers and receptions, and volunteering at their events.
And just a short feminist commentary on wedding dresses...
For a long time I struggled with expressing my own femininity because I didn't want to be put in a box. But if wearing a fancy dress on my wedding day is what I want, and not what I'm told to do, then why not?

Ah yes.... Only a feminist FW such as yourself would turn a simple discourse on finding your wedding dress into a treatise on supporting women's causes.
Not that there's anything wrong with supporting those causes. I have myself many times.
I just found humor in your approach....
**mumbles to himself, "I don't think anyone ELSE things it's funny**
**wanders off back to Joey-Land**
I find humor in it too Joey, for example, after the long paragraph about all the various causes that brides can support while dress shopping, we are treated to this gem:
"Sadly, I did not find my dress at this event..."
i think both of you missed the point!
Of course we did! We're not the ones picking or WEARING the dress. Hehehe....
