Help for a friend!

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find a free (or extremely cheap) wedding dress? I know that sounds crazy but a friend of mine is getting married & because they don't have a lot of money they planned on just going to the court house but she really wants a wedding. She just had a baby & isn't working & her fiance has been out of work due to heart problems, he was in the National Guard but unfortunalty they told him he couldn't serve anymore due to his health conditions. I would appreciate any ideas! They really are a super sweet little family & they deserve a nice wedding.

Davids Bridal, Salvation Army/Goodwill or borrow one from a friend.

Another option might be since prom is coming up -- a white prom dress.

Thanks guys, their isn't anything cheap enough at Davids Bridal, I will check the other 2 websites. They have no money to spend on a wedding so If I find a dress cheap enough I will buy it for her but I'm looking for something $40 or below.

You could always try Craigslist as well.

Could you go as high as $60?

I was going to mention Craigslist. Many of those brides are willing to bring the prices way down so that someone will wear it. Target has some good ones for around $70,but you should be able to find a coupon.

Thanks guys, My sister-in-law is going to give her her dress as long as if fits, so hopefully that will work out but if not I'll check your suggestions & I also asked around in a couple locale online yard sale groups on facebook & got a lot of response there as well so I'm pretty certain we'll find her a dress
