Storyline

Monica takes the other girls to an overpriced store to choose her wedding dress, briefing as if they were in the military as bargain-hunters are far more ruthless then Rachel can usually handle. The worst shopper is Megan who grabs the dress Monica wants then blackmails her over booking of a particular swing band which is about the only thing Chandler really wants for the wedding. Ross and Joey independently meet and date Kristen Leigh while helping her move in. The rivals agree to let her choose after one date with each but they get so carried away cheating on the deal that she runs off altogether.

Funny episode with Monica fighting for her wedding dress!

Monica is solving a lot of stuff from her wedding and the dress she is going to wear is one of them. She is trying a lot of different dresses in a very expensive store, just to go buy in another one, much cheaper. Rachel and Phoebe go to the store too, to make her company. Monica meets a woman in the store called Megan, and while they chat, Monica reveals her secret about the cheaper store,Kleinman's, that is having a huge sale, in Brooklyn. When Monica, Rachel and Phoebe go to Kleinman's some days later, Monica will need to compete with Megan about her favorite dress.

Ross meets Kristen, a new neighbor who just moved for a new block, and invites her to dinner with him. Joey also helps Kristen to bring her stuff to the new apartment and also invites her to dinner, but in other night. In the first time they talk about ''the new woman in the neighborhood'' they are going to date, Chandler already understands that they are going out with the same woman, and asks her name just to make them realize that. They both try to solve the situation, but end up fighting with each other.
