This might be bordering insanity!




maybe you have heard of the annual "Running of the Brides" event in New York, if not here is a nationally published article on it..... Oh and who is that in the picture but Courtney! She made national as well as local news in New York and you can find her on page 59 of In Touch magazine...

The New York Daily News Aritcle review by, Paolo Mottola, "The front page article chronicled Filene's Basement's legendary, annual "running of the brides" event that took place on Saturday, when the store unveiled heavily marked-down wedding dresses. Courtney flew out on Friday night, arrived at the store at midnight, and stood in line with approximately 2,000 other brides-to-be waiting for the store to open at 8 a.m.

According to the report, "
The doors at the Union Square store opened, and chaos ensued." Courtney was in the middle of it and became the centerpiece of the Daily News article, which read:

Among the throng was Courtney Creighton, 24, a flight attendant who flew in from Seattle. Her team of four bolted from the pack and grabbed all the dresses they could carry, regardless of size or designer. They built a bunker of gowns around her, a 4-foot pile of silk and tulle.

"I'm sweating," she complained, tossing rejects over her wall of white.

After more than an hour she found it -- a strapless, beaded Kenneth Pole princess gown at 80% off. She'll have to have it altered, but the steep discount makes up for the seamstress fee."
