After you've got the ring, and the date is set, you've got to find that perfect wedding dress.  When you finally find it, you do an initial fitting, place your order, pay your deposit, and then anxiously wait for the dress to arrive.  And wait.  And wait.  And wait.  As you get closer to your wedding day, you call the store for an update, but your calls go unreturned.  At some point, you give up and buy a different dress at the last minute from another store.  A true wedding nightmare.   One that led New York Attorney General Letitia James to take action to help ensure that, "no woman is left at the altar without the dress of her dreams."
