RIPON — A Newark bride-to-be and her bridesmaids in search of a wedding gown at a bargain price of $50 camped outside Marissa’s Closet at midnight Friday hoping to be first in line when volunteers opened the doors 10 hours later.The group’s decision to travel to Ripon Saturday morning was at the urging of the bride’s cousin Yolanda Morrison. It was only fitting that they made the trek to the small community since the wedding is going to be in the Morrison family’s back yard on Wilma Avenue across from city hall. The yard faces the green turf of Ripon Christian Schools.
