Apparently FAB missed THE SPORTING EVENT OF THE YEAR, the Running of the Brides at Filene's Basement in Buckhead.
Man are we disappointed. You can read the entire post-game wrap up at the AJC.
"A mob of about 900 people -- many of whom had camped out overnight to be among the first to snap up bargain-priced wedding gowns -- needed a mere 45 seconds to pick the store's stock of 1,500 dresses clean.
The gowns -- originally valued at $800 to $8,000 but marked down to the $249-$699 range -- weren't arranged by size. So brides-to-be and those there to assist them grabbed gowns by the armload, then began the rigorous process of sifting through them.
To facilitate the search, many hoisted homemade signs above their heads, detailing the sizes and styles they were frantically seeking. Once the initial rush for gowns was over, the shoppers' task turned to trying on what they'd grabbed and bartering with others for the gowns in their clutches."
