A request from an author

I'm writing a book about the bridal industry. I'll be looking at how the
industry makes a profit and the techniques and manipulations used to eke out
every possible dollar from brides and grooms. Some of the topics I'll be
covering are: the wedding surplus (how vendors in the business will charge
more for a wedding than for a party that's just the same but not a wedding),
hidden costs, marketing techniques that border on emotional blackmail, and
how vendors in the business take advantage of the fact that most brides and
grooms have never thrown a wedding before and therefore don't know what to
expect. If you have ideas, stories, or just want to vent, please email me
at katie_hustead@hotmail.com. Thanks,
Indiebrides!
