Aunt Bytes - The Findings Of Nurse Brenda, RN, BSN

Today my wedding dress arrived via UPS. Yes, that's right, I rented my wedding dress.

But why not? What am I going to so with a thousand dollar dress that I'll never wear again? I don't foresee my daughters wanting to wear the dress their 43-year old mother picked out. They'll want the dress they pick out. The one that's perfect for them.

So, instead of plunking down $1000, I decided to rent for a grand total of....you're not going to believe this......$128.95! That even includes shipping both ways!

I know what you are thinking....how nice could this dress be? Well, here's a picture of it, and believe me when I tell you that the picture doesn't do this dress justice!

What do you think? I have to tell you that when I saw myself in this dress I couldn't believe how good it looked!

So if you have an upcoming wedding, prom, homecoming, or just a formal event to attend, my suggestion is to rent from L&L Rentals. They can be found at Formal Dresses for Rent and they are great! Browse their site to see what they have and I think you'll be surprised to find the perfect dress for you for less than you could buy. And it's so convenient! I actually ordered my wedding dress while I was in my pajamas! And the dress was delivered right to my front door. You can rent bridesmaid dresses for $65.00 or a wedding dress for anywhere between $120 and $160.

The people at this company were great! They called me several times to confirm measurements and even promised my dress a week earlier than planned. In fact, I received my dress 2 weeks before my wedding! That gives me plenty of time to get the right shoes and undergarments to go along with the dress. Oh, did I mention that they even sent the fluffy under-slip to go along with the dress? I expected to have to shell out another $100 for this. Imagine my surprise when I opened the box and found the slip inside!

No last-minute alterations necessary. No being afraid my dress wouldn't show up in time. No stress! Isn't that what every bride wants?

Stay tuned for more wedding news,
