I purchased a dress at David's Bridal approximately one month ago. Last night I received a phone call that i had "WON" a 3day/2 night honeymoon. Two girls that i work with also received the same phone call last night.

I called David's Bridal right after i got off the phone with "AMY" and asked about this; they have no clue what i'm talking about. I DID NOT sign up to win a honeymoon package; i filled out the paperwork so that a consultant would show me a dress and help me. I did not authorize my information being given to someone else.

Also, we were not told we were "elligible" to win the honeymoon packet; we were told we had "won"... they didn't stutter and i was listening because i asked several question about it. All three of us girls were told the exact same thing... two of us were even called by the same girl..."AMY".

I'm afraid that there are some people that don't follow the script very well. Be careful... everything comes at a price; you don't get something for nothing- there's always some type of string attached!!
