Wedding Dress Rental

Recently I read that the average cost of a wedding in the United States has hit some amazing figure like $25,000 and it is not unheard of for middle class couples to spend far more. Then they move into an apartment because they can’t afford a down payment for a house. My wife and I eloped, 35 years ago this September 11. As a photographer I’ve also done my best to stay totally clear of weddings. But despite my lack of resonance with wedding extravaganzas, even I find something wrenching about a shop window that says “wedding dress rental.”
