As wedding vendors, we need to understand the sacrifices that our clients make.
Someone is picking up an extra shift in order to make your payment.
Someone is volunteering to work overtime.
Someone is meticulously combing through their finances at the start of the month.
Someone is choosing to eat in instead of going out.
Someone is feeling guiltly for spending so much on "just one day."
