The Running of the Bridezillas

June 13, 2006 in Brides,Bridezilla with 8 Comments

No, it’s not an invasion of vikingette hordes bent on capturing husbands. It’s the second annual Running of the Bridezillas in Time Square! On Monday, a group of twenty brides-to-be donned their wedding finery and took part in a high-stakes, bride-eat-bride footrace in New York City to mark the third season of the WE television show ‘Bridezillas’.

Winner Casey Scheulen and her fiancé Tim McGowen will receive a $25,000 dream wedding. Which is fortuitous, because Ms. Scheulen will no doubt need a new wedding dress now that hers is covered in sweat and whatever that white stuff on her husband-to-be is.

    “really cool website about a new magazine called With This Ring coming out soon”
    Uh huh. Riiiiiiight. Back on topic, where were those elbow pads 21 years ago when I did the running of the brides in Filene’s Basement?

    Yikes—someone hide me! It’s like the Running of the Bulls, but even scarier…

    I had a serious duhhh moment just there, Gorgeous Things. My inner spam filter must have been turned off for that one! While I deleted the comments, With This Ring looks like it might be a great source, especially for the LGBT community. It’s a Citizen Culture project set to launch in 2007. It may turn out to be pretty cool – their editorial staff seems very diverse.
