I found this article very well articulated, thoughtfully balanced and very much to the point!
As someone who had wedding ceremonies without spending a fortune, I identify well with the comments rendered. After all, those participating in the celebration of a wedding are there most for that beautiful moment of union, and less about all the fluffy and not-so-meaningful stuff that the wedding industry tries to sell. The couple should be in the driver seat, and not let themselves be influenced by the industry’s profit motives. 🙌👍🙌
The one that really resonated with me was the part about the wedding industry wanting couples stressed out. Makes total sense, but I’d never thought about it that way.
Agreed. And it's unfortunately a tactic used in more than just the wedding industry. Yes, there's a place for businesses providing the solution to someone's problem. But it's a whole different story when you manufacture a problem simply for the sake of selling the solution.
