They call it "the running of the brides." The annual bargain wedding gown event -- where designer gowns go for $249-$699 -- will be happening Friday at Filene's Basement in Union Square in Manhattan (4 Union Square South, 212-358-0169, www.filenesbasement.com). The doors open at 8 a.m. but the lines outside start forming long before then. On this day, shopping is a sport. Many brides-to-be show up with an entourage of helpers to grab armfuls of gowns as quickly as possible for trying on or trading up with others. More Long Island wedding coverage here.
