What does it take to get to this moment -- the moment when you find your wedding dress at a bargain price? Well, it takes getting up before the sun (or camping out the night before), hatching a battle plan with the aid of your loved ones, and of course, fighting off the competition when you spot your dream dress.
See how hundreds of brides-to-be, like Courtney Level of Boston, executed their plans at the twice-a-year Filene's Basement Running of the Brides at Hynes Convention Center. As for you, grooms-to-be, shield your eyes. You know it's bad luck to see the dress before the wedding.
