My wedding is extraordinary and gorgeous. My wedding is extraordinary and gorgeous.
My wedding is extraordinary and gorgeous.
That is my daily mantra as I take on the hard lessons in this process of sealing the union between me and Amen-Rah.
I have been scratching my head in disappointment at the gimmicks that people pull when you call about venues, vendors, and all things related to weddings.
Let me be honest, weddings are a cash cow industry, and companies, corporations, and people have been exploiting something that should be pure love.
Number #1 Question I DESPISE is, "What's your budget?"
I woke up in the middle of the night with a voice telling me that I will never tell any possible vendor my budget AGAIN.
All I am sure about is that every person will respect my hard-earned money.
How do you do that? I am still working on the resolve. And frankly I need your help. That is why I have made my first recession proof giveaway on better ways to negotiate a venue vendor.
Help me by helping you. I am dishing out $50 from one of the tips that you give. And I need some good advice.

In my process I went through each detail offered and asked them to take off things I really didnt' need or could do witgout. While doing that I also asked them what was the slowest time of the year or week for them and with that knowlwedge I took a date that they normally wouldn't make any money and got it for $200 less than the original asking... See More. ... See MoreDon't be afriad to ask questions and to shop around. Remmember that your dream location may not always be the best for you and they are in a business and you are what keeps them going. Have multiple quotes on hand from competitiors and do price comparisons right there with them, you will be surprised
I know I'm only a man....but please hear me. Don't spend an inordinate amount of money on a ceremony. Take a little money....or a lot of money and pay for a cruise somewhere......anywhere and get married wherever you go. It'll be special because it'll be just the two of you and it'll be a helluvalot less expensive than paying to watch a couple of hundred people (who'd probably rather be someplace else anyway) spend a hot afternoon dressed to the nines.....drinking booze you paid for.
My advice, do you. Get married on a beach somewhere in flip flops, wearing something extremely comfortable.
