VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., June 24 (UPI) -- A prime spot in a wedding may bring big bucks on eBay, a Virginia Beach, Va., woman hopes.

Kelly Gray, 23, is auctioning off an opportunity to be one of her bridesmaids at an April 19, 2009 ceremony and reception that she and her fiance are planning on a tight budget. To help finance the under $7,000 affair, Gray came up with the idea of accepting bids on being part of the bridal party, The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot reported Tuesday.

"As weird as it sounds, I just think somebody might be interested," she said. "Somebody who's never been in a wedding and always wanted to, or somebody who does weddings and wants to help out."

Gray said she hopes the winner of the contest will take their role seriously. She understands that her bridesmaid could possibly turn out not to be female.

"I don't want to discriminate. Whoever wins, they're in. If he wants to wear the dress, I'll let him, and I'll stand next to him," she said.
