Alternative Wedding Planning
In my opinion, with the significant growth in small weddings and elopements, that now represent half of all weddings, the Main Stream Media (MSM) should also be more interested in “Alternative Wedding Planning”… As discussed in that blog, the number of elopements alone have grown by over 400% in the last 7 years..
It must be June, the month that many still perceive as “the wedding month” because, as shown below, this week alone 3 articles about “wedding planning” popped up into my inbox from @CBSNews, @NBCNews and @ABCNews showing that are they interested in the topic… However, maybe they are out of touch or just don’t know, but in 2019 a recent study by Zola [a growing wedding registry site] showed that October is actually the most popular month for weddings.
Here are the links to those MSM Wedding Planning stories.
