“I bought two dresses, the first, I bought online without trying anything on and it looked awful,” says Anne Cullen, who married in 2006. “From then on I knew it was wrong… and I changed my choice completely. I looked for an ivory dress with capped sleeves; it was a very simple style. I didn’t want a big white meringue after all.” Anne’s second dress was purchased from internet auction site eBay, and cost $55 including the shipping – leaving her more money in the budget to take nineteen guests for a wedding meal in Gretna Green, Scotland.
