WHBM promoting BSC, say is isn't so...

Today on Facebook, WHBM posted the following...

"Getting married? Planning ahead? We're excited to announce that our wedding gowns are now 50% OFF! It's your special day, and it should always be...beautiful."

GRRRRRRRRR!  Why would they encourage "planning ahead"?!

Weird.

That ranks right up there with NEY's forum description. Probably sounded like a good idea at the time.

First I have to say there was a WHBM wedding dress that I had my eyes on.  Second I will say BSC to bring in more $$$$ hahaha.  Marketing genius.

OMG I saw the same thing but was running out to a meeting and couldn't post it here. It's so ridiculous what the wedding industry does to people. I've started becoming a religious reader of apracticalwedding.com <--clicky

It's a great website where real women talk about how they bucked the wedding industry (or fell victim to it). It has helped me keep my sanity... like convincing me I didn't need to take on the stress of making 120 ribbon wands for that ONE cute picture it would make.

So does this mean I should buy a dress for a wedding that I may or may not have in 2 or 3 or 4 years from now?!

Scary.

Because they care about selling things and not the psychological well-being of those purchasing them?

Oops, sorry to P&R.  I had class tonight until 10. 

Obviously they are only concerned with making money, but it's kind of sickening.  I really like WHBM's clothing but this doesn't make me want to shop there right now.
