So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Finding a Cheap Wedding Dress

By Mae Summerville

For something worn only once and for a very few hours, a wedding dress needs to be purchased for as low a price as possible. That is why I used the term cheap in this article. Finding a cheap dress does not mean a shoddy dress or an ugly dress it does mean finding a gorgeous dress at a discount price. I hope to help you do that.

There are many ways to find an inexpensive wedding dress. One way is to search on Craig's list classified ads. Craig's list is set up by city and so all you would need to do is go to Craig's list and find the closest metropolitan area . They have great deals on all kinds of items so may find way more than just a cheap wedding dress.

Another way to get a wedding dress at a big discount is to look at other online classified ads. This would include sites such as Backpage. They have listings all over the country and have many cheap wedding dresses. Go to Google and search for online classifieds and you will find tons of them.

If you are really a good haggler then you need to search on Ebay for a cheap wedding dress. Since they allow you to email the seller direct you can try and get a deal even better than the minimum bid. Get a Paypal account and then you know you will either get your merchandise or your money back. Also check out other wedding items as you may be able to really give a fabulous wedding for a ridiculously low price. Remember nothing is set in stone so haggle.

If you can live with the fact that someone has worn the dress before then you may want to consider a used wedding dress. One of the best ways is to visit consignment shops and look at their selection of wedding dresses. You may also find several other items at great prices to complete your wardrobe. When you have tried on everything tell the owner you would really like to buy but feel like there needs to be some additional discounting. Remember you are not going to pay retail for your wedding.

You can always get the dress altered by a good seamstress and it will fit like it was made for you. Of course besides size you want to be sure the dress has no tears or stains and is larger than you are so that it can be altered.

With your savings you can look at upgrading other parts the wedding. Maybe gold jewelry or a beautiful set of gloves or an awesome veil. If you have already gotten these items in the same way as you bought the dress you can look at getting a nice or bigger wedding cake or an even better honeymoon.

Use your imagination when trying to get a cheap wedding dress. As with most things, imagination and creativity will get you what you want and keep more money in your pocket. You can use this imagination and creativity to fashion your gown in such a way as people will think you splurged and got a designer gown.
