Jen Schefft: A Frugal Bride

at .

Jen Schefft - who got engaged to Andrew Firestone on the third season of The Bachelor; then went on to star on The Bachelorette in 2005 - is getting married in May.

However, she got fired last fall and, as she tells Us Weekly, doesn't wish to spend a fortune on the ceremony.

"I wanted to be considerate of a price," said Schefft, who is marrying Joe Waterman, a trader. "I'm not going to wear a $20,000, or even a $10,000 dress. I just don't think it's worth it for one day."

During an exclusive shoot for the tabloid, Schefft modeled gowns for under $1,000. For example:

In this economy, Jen Schefft is avoiding an expensive wedding; and, we hope, any risky home mortgage loans.
