Everyone (yes, even you) can be a spring bride on Saturday. The annual Brides of March costumed pub crawl is happening around the hill Saturday night and is an open-to-all event. The starting point: Garage Billiards,  Saturday March 13th 7:30pm.

Dress as a bride or any other member of a wedding party (bridesmaid, groomsman, preacher, photographer, caterer, etc) and join the flock of brides as they make the social rounds on the hill.

Just don’t dress as the groom. There’s already one of those:  Jimi Hendrix. Or more precisely, his statue.

After a few check-ins at bars around Pike/Pine, the bridezillas and wedding party  will stop at the Jimi Hendrix statue on Broadway, where a ceremony will be performed to marry all the brides to Jimi. Following the ceremony will be Bride Olympic Games. For details on the Brides of March route, go here.  

If you want to join up but don’t have a wedding gown handy, the Brides of March organizers provide a few last minute bits of advice:

1. It is difficult to find a dress under duress, but it can be done! Ask the floor manager at Goodwill and Value Village if you don’t see any. They may have some in the back.

2. Size doesn’t matter. Whether you are a lady, a dude, or ladydude, if you’ve found a dress that you can pull on but can’t quite zip up, don’t worry about it! Duct tape the sucker and call it good. Or grommet it and add ribbon.

3. White! Any white dress or white outfit will work.

4. Veils Make the Bride. Veils are a lot of fun so if you can’t find a dress, for goodness sake you can find a veil at Michael’s or David’s Bridal or Jo-Ann Fabrics.

5. Dress as a bridesmaid or other wedding party member if you don’t want to wear white or can’t find your perfect Barbie  dress.

Meanwhile, don’t let the rain stop you from enjoying tonight’s March Blitz Capitol Hill Arts Walk. The monthly second Thursday event has grown to more than 50 participating venues — and, as always, CHS is glad to help sponsor. You can grab a map and venue list on the Blitz Web site.
