Do like the idea of renting, definatly what I would choose if I ever get married.

There was a shop nearby that did this for a few years, and I sold some dresses to them for Prom, weddings, etc. They had to close but I debated buying the place adn becoming the owner, I didn't though b/c it would have completely cleared out my bank account. I was very tempted though...
