Mamma Mia! Actors appear with amped-up brides.

　　Youve heard the old warning about waving red in front of a bull.
　　A department store eagerly waved white in front of hundreds of amped-up brides-to-be on Friday in a chaotic tradition known as the "Running of the Brides."
　　"It was crazy," said successful competitor Lauren Grace of Woodbridge, N.J.
　　Cast members from the Broadway show "Mamma Mia!" were even on hand for the noisy Manhattan event, which was punctuated by cheers when brides nailed their prey.
　　Organizers said dresses originally priced up to $10,000 were going for $249 to $699.
　　Grace was among the victors. "I got a bargain. It was $499, originally $3,000," she said.
　　She said she and her shopping team had stayed overnight at a hotel. They arrived outside the store at 4 a.m. and waited four hours before they were allowed to pounce on the deeply discounted dresses at the Filenes Basement/SYMS event.
　　It was a bittersweet moment for Grace. She shed some tears while thinking of her late mother, but then regained her good spirits while leading the charge along with her bridesmaid, maid of honor, friend and aunt.
　　Theyd worked out a system in advance: two of them ran in and grabbed a spot, three others hoarded dresses and they all carried yellow balloons — Graces wedding color — to locate each other in the chaos.
　　Grace tried on dresses over her shorts and tank top. "I was a little more modest than some people, to say the least," she said. "Some people were down to their undergarments," right there in the aisles.
　　Shes hoping to prevent her groom from learning too much about the gown. she wants him to be surprised during their big moment on April 28, 2012.
　　你肯定听说过不要在公牛面前晃红布这一由来已久的忠告。
　　但在上周五“新娘快跑”婚纱促销活动中，一家百货商店却在数百名兴奋不已的准新娘面前展示出白色婚纱，使得这一传统的促销活动场面略显混乱。
