Congratulations! So now that you both have agreed to take the big step and get married ? the excitement of a long and happy life together lays ahead for you both.So now comes the fun of planning the wedding, the big day, the main event! The most important part of the planning is setting the budget. Did you know the average wedding costs $19,000? So you need to set your budget carefully and stuck to it. If you overrun, even a little, it could cost you thousands of dollars. Set your budget very carefully ? nobody wants to spend every last nickel they have on their wedding yet every couple dreams of the perfect wedding. Gone are the days of parents footing the bill for the wedding, in fact 4 out of 5 couples today pay for their own weddings.
So that probably means you areFortunately there are many things you can do to have your dream wedding without breaking the bank. But be prepared for the hard sell! Every vendor out there just loves it when a newly engaged girl walks into their store ? they start seeing the dollar signs! Make sure you shop around and get at least 3 quotes for each service ? you will be surprised how much they vary. Also do not be afraid to negotiate with the vendors. If you find a florist you just love but they are $1000 more expensive - then talk them. Maybe tell them you just adore their work but they are a little too expensive ? ask them what they could do to make the price fit within your budget.
Additionally be very careful when telling any vendor the budget you have for their service. Somehow all the photographers will quote you $1500 when you tell them your budget is $1500! Ask them their price first. If they try to tell you they have many packages ask them what their most popular price point is. It also doesn't hurt to let it slip that you will be visiting some of their competitors as well!Finally don't forget this is supposed to be FUN! Your wedding day WILL be wonderful, sure there will be some hiccups, but trust me, in the end it will go off wonderfully if you just apply a little planning and commonsense.Enjoy your life together!.

Author's Dark Thriller Inspired by Glimpse of Brothel Life
PATERSON, NJ (ContentDesk) January 13, 2004 -- During her days as a professional musician, author Hilary Hawke often took odd jobs to tide her over between gigs.
She worked as a NYC cabdriver, a waitress, a florist, a bank teller, a telephone marketer and, inadvertently, a receptionist in a Sutton Place Brothel.
Her dark thriller, "The Payback", is loosely based on her up-close look at the high-class Manhattan call girl trade. About two women from different worlds brought together by chance, "The Payback" chronicles their struggle to overcome the dependence on female sexuality as a commodity.
"The Payback" was recently selected as one of 36, from a catalog of 12,000 titles, for inclusion in the prestigious new iUniverse Star Program, an imprint developed to showcase the publisher's best books.
The only New Jersey author chosen, Ms. Hawke has also earned the Editor's Choice designation. "The Payback" can be ordered at Author's Dark Thriller Inspired by Glimpse of Brothel Life
