Brides-to-be
get discounts? Who knew? But it's true. While weddings are getting
outrageously expensive, there are some perks that go along with the
ordeal. Lisa Ryan noticed a discount offered for brides at a gym, so she
bought a cheap ring and built a quick wedding page online. She soon
learned about other discounts, and enjoyed the best of both worlds -the
perks of being a bride without the actual wedding costs.
First,
the discounts. There are so many discounts for brides. There are
discounted spa packages; there are discounts and free gifts just for
signing up for wedding registries at certain stores (for instance, Crate
& Barrel gives you free stemless wineglasses in an embroidered
linen bag, while Bloomingdale’s gives you 20 percent off of a ton of
items, including clothes and jewelry). There are also countless exercise
classes, from spin classes to boot camps, and barre classes. I emailed
my go-to barre studio, and told them I was getting married and that I
wanted to sign up for their bridal package. They immediately knocked off
about $100 from my membership for three months, and the next day I was
tucking and lunging my way to a fake bridal body.
But
Ryan was also impressed by how nice and friendly people became, as the
process she was thought to be going through has been shared by so many.
