Engaged Couples Spend More Time Researching Topics and Interviewing Vendors than Actually Planning the Wedding
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 24, 2008 -- Today's newly engaged couples are overwhelmed with the excessive amount of "wedding resources" available to them. Many brides confess that they are lost in a virtual sea of wedding sites, blogs, magazines and articles. "I had no idea it was going to be this confusing getting married," confesses Heather, a newly engaged bride. "I have a stack of books next to my computer and a ton of websites saved to my favorites and I still can't figure out what I'm supposed to ask potential photographers!"
