This is something I always try and keep in mind. For most brides this is the first time they've thought about any of this stuff, it's all new. An aspect of this is that most of them have never hired anyone to do anything before. When you're 25 or 30 you've had very few occasions to hire someone who costs $200 or $300 an hour. It's another process they're unfamiliar with, and they need a a little educating. tv
