So you’re engaged and on the verge of planning a wedding if you haven’t already started the process. The engagement is filled with so much excitement you can hardly stand it, and you just cannot wait to start shopping. But from the point of engagement to the point of booking vendors, it can quickly take a turn for the worse once you start getting prices and look at the overall cost of just how much your dream wedding will be. The wedding business, not unlike any other kind of business, is huge. There will always be a need for weddings, just like there will always be a need for insurance, funerals, real estate and transportation. But once those dollar signs start popping up, you may start looking at other options, such as figuring out where you can cut costs.
