La Crosse Catholic Charities rummaging wedding dresses

Catholic Charities' annual rummage sale this weekend will have the usual books, housewares and other "garage sale" fare. Oh, and a rack of brand-new, beaded satin and chiffon wedding gowns. 

"How many brides out there want a fairy-tale wedding but can't afford the dress?" said Karen Becker, executive assistant at Catholic Charities of the Diocese of La Crosse.

The nonprofit agency's annual rummage sale will offer the 22 dresses at a fraction of their original price to benefit Catholic Charities emergency services - and give more women the opportunity to buy their dream gown.

"Catholic Charities encourages church weddings," Becker said, "and this sale will allow for more of them."
