Worlds biggest snowball fight

BETTINA HANSEN / THE SEATTLE TIMES

About 6,000 people participated Saturday in Seattle Snow Day, marking a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for largest snowball fight. It was held at Seattle Center outside the EMP Museum. Organizers trucked in 162,000 pounds of snow from the mountains and sold more than 6,000 tickets for the event to dethrone the Republic of Korea, which set the record of 5,387 snow-throwers in 2010.

Brides-to-be on shopping spree

ALAN BERNER / THE SEATTLE TIMES

Kelsey Newell likes the fit of this "mermaid" wedding dress with a ruffled bottom she found Saturday at the annual Seattle Wedding Show at the Washington State Convention Center. A passerby called it "sassy." Newell, who will be married in October, spent $699 on the dress, having tried on six. More than 3,000 brides (and 8,000 people in all) are expected to attend the show, where frequently discounts are to be had for bookings and sales at the event. The show continues Sunday.

The photo booth is silly fun for Sasha Bolander, left, and her sister Sarah. The all-digital booth produces a strip of photos in seconds and rents for $900-1,000 for weddings, depending on options.

This "fit 'n' flare" dress should fit like a glove. It has a long train that is tied into a bustle so the bride can dance on her wedding day.
