I have been involved in the wedding industry for over 20 years as both a writer and designer. I am pretty bent about the way wedding vendors are being portrayed by some of the new media. I am also pretty appalled by the three-ring circus that some weddings have become. Why is it that the only weddings you see in the major magazines carry a price tag of over $250K. On what planet is a quarter of a million dollar wedding sane??? Yes, I like pretty and unique as much as the next person but, uhh...reality.folks.
